Cub Campers H16 vs H16LE: common questions
What is the difference between the H16 and the H16LE from Cub Campers?
Both are hybrid vans in the same Cub Campers line-up, so the differences are in the published figures rather than in the category. On the specs Cub Campers publishes, the H16 starts at $99,990 and the H16LE at $119,990, their ATMs are 2,800 kg and 2,700 kg, fresh water is 100 L against 200 L, solar is 360 W against 720 W and payload works out at 956 kg and 682 kg. The full side-by-side table below covers every figure both ranges publish, and where one publishes a number the other does not, we say so rather than fill the gap in. Floorplan choice within each range changes the layout and the sleeping capacity, so confirm the exact build against the compliance plate before you commit.
Which is lighter to tow, the H16 or the H16LE?
The H16 is lighter, with a tare weight of 1,844 kg versus 2,018 kg. Loaded to their maximum, the H16 has an ATM of 2,800 kg and the H16LE 2,700 kg. Always check the figure against your car's braked towing limit.
Which caravan can carry more, the H16 or the H16LE?
The H16 has the larger payload: 956 kg of carrying capacity (ATM minus tare) versus 682 kg. That is the weight of water, gear, food and accessories you can legally load before hitting the van's ATM.
Is the H16 or the H16LE cheaper?
The H16 has the lower starting price at $99,990, compared with $119,990 for the H16LE. Both are drive-away starting prices before options, so the on-road gap can change once each is specced up.
How many people can the H16 and H16LE sleep?
The H16 sleeps 2-4 and the H16LE sleeps 2. Sleeping capacity depends on the floorplan you choose within each range.
