1yr review of my RUNAWAY CAMPER. AN HONEST REVIEW.

[@austinwhipple1136]

I’ve had my Coolcamp almost three years and I camp at least once a month. I love my little camper. Great video and great review.

[@austinwhipple1136]

And I tow with a 2016 Kia Soul.

[@Tuck701]

We have the Venturist in the same size, so yes a bit tight but no issues what so ever. Runaway did change out the windows because they were seeing water leaking in. That fixed the problem. The other big difference between the cool camper and the off road version is the hitch system. Huge upgrade with an articulating hitch. So like you we love camping and take it everywhere.

[@FLAARONG]

Yes! I forgot about the different hitch! Thanks for watching buddy and thanks for commenting!

[@Frank-James]

I hope you sent your feedback to Runaway regarding flipping the axel. Seems like a no cost improvement to a great trailer! Thanks! great video!

[@AlFonso-p6p]

You might get away with that on the smallest lightweight runaway version like this one but I doubt this could work well on the rouser model. Also in regards to automobiles changing the suspension with spacers and various other mods can sometimes affect the vehicles performance and balance. It might even become dangerous on the road??? I've heard of some cars being too lightweight to the point where a strong wind while commuting over a bridge was able to knock it off into the sea!!!

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Thanks, you answered a lot of my questions ❤

[@captainsteve5475]

I used a friend's for few days. Only 2 things I wished was improved on is rounded nose for better fuel economy and the 3 door should NOT have 3 separate keys.

[@larryparson9609]

Great review thanks 🙏🏼 😊Don’t you wanna Runaway family I’ve Always been sold on Runaway Happy Trails Thanks Again

[@harrymills2770]

Aha! I THOUGHT you flipped the axle on it. Very practical. I got the Venturist. I'll check out your friend's channel. I'm not sure you couldn't accomplish much the same thing as I did, way cheaper, by just getting the Cool Camp and flipping the axles. Yeah, the axle-less suspension is nice, but when is it going to make a huge difference? For the price, you could beat the heck out of your Cool Camp, and even replace the axle if you had to. I do plan to add some things underneath, to make use of the ridiculous amount of clearance the Venturist has. I can put some drawers or water tanks under there and it'd still clear anything my Tacoma can, or rather, anything I'd put my Tacoma through.

[@AlFonso-p6p]

An upgrade I regret is getting the tongue basket. When I bought an aftermarket tongue box I realized that i didn't need the tongue basket and ended up selling it for cheap. Apparently i could just mount the tongue box right onto the hitch frame with U-bolts without the basket rack... bummer.

[@FLAARONG]

Agreed. I've yet to use the tongue basket. Haha. Im not sure what I thought I was going to be putting it 😂

[@ern48]

Nice video. You probably already checked on this, not all but most trailer axles have a camber (arched tube) so flipping it over it would have the wrong camber. If you never load it up to the max rating then changing the leaf springs (cheap mod) to a rating closer to the actual trailer weight it will allow more suspension travel and a softer ride.

[@FLAARONG]

Yes! That’s a great point. The axles that come with these campers are straight and true, but you’re right some of them are slightly cambered and flipping it would mess everything up. Good thing to keep in mind and check for.

[@deliciousdiversity646]

Not sure but it looked like you have a cracked leaf spring 🤙🏽 like that truck though !

[@FLAARONG]

Oh yeah? I’ll have to take a look! Thanks for watchin!

[@dustinmittel348]

Have you thought about wheel spacers and adding some all terrain tires ?

[@FLAARONG]

I have! I definitely want to. Probably will this year. The "to do" list is always pretty long for the truck so the other things tend to get neglected a bit😂

[@dustinmittel348]

@@FLAARONG I hear that I have an 89 bronco that has been sitting for 4years now I buy a few parts here and there but anytime I get money up for the motor something comes up and I have to use it on that instead lol

[@christopherbuckley94]

What kind and size of mattress did you use. Sometimes the interior sizes are odd on these campers. Thanks

[@FLAARONG]

I used a full size and had to cut a little off the side. Here is an old video I did on my main channel that has a link to the actual mattress I got for it kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqaolWmrgrmiaKcsi=58cZHtTik3UbArqQ

[@VidadeAP]

Nice trailer . I want one Didn’t know you had another channel 💯

[@FLAARONG]

I just started it a little while ago. Pretty much will be everything that’s not truck related. Live stuff, camping, product reviews, that kind of stuff.

[@VidadeAP]

@@FLAARONG ahhh okayyy i see best of luck brotha . All ya gotta do is stay consistent, you got this!. 🙏🏼📈

[@FLAARONG]

Thanks buddy!

[@joshbrown5938]

There is a easy way to fix the door and it will take you 10 minutes and your axle the way you have it you will be buying spring's like crazy we build ours way different. We only use 14" tires and 3500lb axles its more heavy duty get you a 4 leaf spring and that'll take care of your spring issue

[@brolan5150]

What's the door fix?

[@tuxventures]

I’m making the drive to Runaway HQ in about a week because of issues with the back door on my 22.

[@FLAARONG]

Yeah is it sagging, too?

[@tuxventures]

@@FLAARONG I don't know about sagging, but it's never closed right. Always had a huge gap. And I learned that even if it's closed, it's not really latched. You can give it a little tug from the door frame and it opens up.

[@FLAARONG]

@tuxventures yeah that's strange🤔 Im sure theyll get it fixed up for you.

[@apexstrength3797]

I noticed options for a rooftop tent. Does it fit on top of the runaway camper or are the dimensions too small? I never see it added on this type

[@FLAARONG]

Yeah I've seen some with RTT. Not many though. It would just have to be a small one.

[@apexstrength3797]

@@FLAARONGThank you for answering, subbed 👍🏽

[@TacoSyndicate]

Do you ever have issues with the awning sliding out of the brackets?

[@FLAARONG]

Nope. Its solid

[@rickhiggins6521]

How much did it effect your gas mileage?

[@FLAARONG]

Not alot. Maybe 2-3mpg?

[@deanobrovo8595]

What's the brand name of that awning?

[@FLAARONG]

I can’t remember. I’ll look when I get home today. It was trash though. It was super cheap on Amazon. All the aluminum in the whole framing was made very cheaply. It broke within a month or two having it. Lol

[@randywilson6869]

I was almost gone over the remote.dang

[@stephenbarabas6286]

😂 I left because of the remote.... Let's get into this.... Proceed's to not get into it...

[@FLAARONG]

Over not having one? Or about me talking about it?

[@Tommy-rr7ez]

​@FLAARONG Dont pay no attention to him! I'm glad you told bout the remote situation cause if someone goes to buy a camper thinking they will get a remote and don't you know how people are they willbe crying that I watched this YT channel and yall gave him one so I want one to BOO HOO! But with you explaining bout your buddy now folks know that some do get one and some don't. Thanks for a update! I hope yall and us all have a great year! Be safe! Happy Trails my friend!

[@woofman4796]

My wife wants the runaway rouser, so we can stand up in it, we are in Zephyrhills Florida by the way, stay safe brother

[@FLAARONG]

We alsmot went with the rouser! Solid choice! We're up in Ocala!

[@woofman4796]

@FLAARONG cool, we ride our atv up in the Ocala national forest, maybe 1 day we'll cross paths, stay safe

[@woofman4796]

I am beyond anal about my truck doors being left open, I tell my wife every so often or anyone that is with me/us, if you get out for any reason, shut the door, especially when I'm loading our atv, the truck and trailer rock a bit while driving our atv onto our trailer and if her door is open, it swings towards the front, possibly could damage something if it keeps happening, the good old days a person could shim hinges and tweak any over flexing of a door, not with today's vehicles, nice truck by the way, I have a 2022 colorado,
