Dub Box Trailers?

[Terry G]

And yet another new fiberglass trailer makes its debut, according to this article in Men's Journal:

A High-Tech Trailer with Retro Appeal - Dub Box USA review - Cars - MensJournal.com

Pretty soon, half the population of the US (and their dogs) will be making their own brand of fiberglass trailer.

We are currently deciding on features and a color for ours.

Dub Box came over from the UK and set up shop in Portland Oregon in 2012. Totally customizable rigs; quite a few are set up as food carts!

Interesting how the specs have changed since launch in 2012... dry weight's gone from 1323 pounds ( 2012 link) to 1800 pounds at the present webpage. ( link)

New weight does include battery, propane bottle, and spare, but that can't account for all the new weight. Could just be more accurate, I s'pose. Cargo carrying capacity is given as 1,000 pounds, so gross is pushing 2800. Heavy for such a small space!

Tongue weight will have to be in the 250-300 pound range for stability, so I guess their original "small car tug" market has been rethought.

It's "Cute" but I don't see it as filling most FGRV peeps needs re: a similar priced new FGRV. And it's very heavy for the space provided.

At a base price of $20,000 it doesn't include all that much and even the pop-top is an unpriced option.

But great for uncured VW junkies. BTW: As I am a cured VW junkie I know well of the malady of which I speak.

I am smitten - but not tempted (well, maybe just a bit).

Having owned a '66 and then a '67 VW Transporter back in the day my nostalgia fancy is definitely being tickled (but I still like our Scamp).

Leslie - YES - please tell us all about yours when it arrives. Pics, pics, pics !!! (BTW neighbor - we're in Asheville too).

After checking out Dub Box's website I do have to say that they look like they would make a great food cart. I think they'd be a huge hit at music festivals, vintage car meets, street fairs - you name it.

Hmmm...how about a $5.00 cup of coffee with a picture of the Dub Box Coffee Caravan on it?

Steve and Janna,

We're practically neighbors. I'll be happy to sell you a $5 cup of coffee from my future dub box.

You're forgetting inflation!.............lol

I think they're NEATO. Not for me, but neither is a number of other all molded towables. Isn't it grand we're not all alike? Makes for far more interesting posts.

Okay! But I want the souvenir cup.

Think I read it wrong..........LOL

I was thinking of the souvenir cup at that price.
I can see the $5 price for the coffee.

But I hate paying $2 when I eat out.

I think you got something there.
A molded trailer "cup" collection.

A Prototype:

[Bob Miller]

Is that a PushMe or a PullYou or both: a twin engine Pushmepullyou? I'll have to ask Dr. Dolittle, he will know.

I'll bet that it spends a lot of time on that trailer though.....

Why does it seem that the people on the east coast like the rigs made on the west coast and vice-versa?

On the cycle/VW rig: how does that front wheel handle hard braking?

Re DubBox: I notice that the entrance is on the left (street side).
I have had it with canvas after tent camping for 30 years, see photo

Maybe that's the British/Japanese/etc. version.

You know who should have a Dub Box? Our former President, Dubya.
