Tour of a Low Budget Tiny Trailer

[@brianlarsen3030]

I own one for a year,and lived in one for a summer,and plan to agian. I was excited to see Bob and Steve together. I listen to Bob while working.

[@davemassie3726]

Very refreshing to see their is at least 1- Non Greedy person in the USA! Thank you Steve , I will be spending my Money with You!

[@kev4567]

Very grateful for what both these great guys do.

[@BlazinBlades]

Thank you 🙏 I am amazed of the good will and honest great value these folks are offering! God Bless!

[@josephwilson6651]

Another need met, and another company started. Not by billionaires by honest hard working Americans whom saw the gap filled the need,and have found success without flim-flam&falderall. Thank you Bob

[@55sargeshotrods]

Great business guy. Has a lot of principle. I'm a fabricator and know what it would cost to build this. Great price

[@sandyl8636]

We bought a RangeRunner in August 2017, couldn't be happier! We love every single thing about this little camper! We live in California and had it shipped sight unseen. Steve and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and were happy with our purchase. Great company to deal with! Highly recommend :)

[@Sparkjumper59]

It was really nice and considerate of you to tell him his unit was good for someone who couldn’t get something better? You goof

[@marlelarmarlelar9547]

How could anyone down-thumb an entrepreneur for starting and growing a business that fills a need?

[@anom3778]

20alphabet explain please.

[@swisscamperronniecool5419]

anom I can explain....what a shame to trick people into thinking it is more than a empty overpriced box. For that kind of money you can get a real older rv...either a trailer or class b or truck camper...

[@anom3778]

Swisscamper Ronnie cool used rv?

[@nancyfahey7518]

Swisscamper Ronnie cool that breaks down and leaves you stranded.

[@swisscamperronniecool5419]

Nancy Fahey If you say so 😂😂

[@mapeaceproject]

I found Runaway recently as well and thought they will be my choice! You are the best out there with how to be a Nomad or live cheap! Thanks for the review!!!

[@billleland957]

Two of my favorite guys, Stephen Shives & Bob Wells. I've owned a 4x8 Navigator for over 3 years now. Been all over the place. I love this little camper.

[@mommahdukes9771]

Do you have pics to share of how you set up the inside? Would you say its big enough for 2 adults and 2 dogs

[@treysuniverserv1576]

Great Review of a product that really opens up Nature to almost everyone. There was a time, many years ago that this would had been the perfect rig for us. Your interview with Stephanie showed how liveable this unit can be. I also applaud your kindness during that interview.

[@brianmcdaid3178]

I love my CoolCamp XL! This is a great value for the money! Steve and his family are great to work with and produce a quality product. For anyone who just wants to go camping (not glamping) this is the real deal. I pull mine with a 2016 Chevy Impala (1,000 lb towing limit) and it tows straight, stable, and effortlessly. If you are an Android user download the ParkAdvisor app. For Apple users it is AllStays. This is really an excellent app for finding campgrounds.

[@doingthings1788]

Great alternative to a tent. We don't own one of these, but we have tent camped A LOT. We got a cab-over camper for our truck now, because the dampness in a tent can cause back pain, ect. And when the people who camp next to you are a problem, you can just drive away. No hassles. Not so with a tent. When it rains tents are muddy and have to be dried out to store (mildew free) If we didn't all ready have the cab-over we would buy one of these. Gas mileage would be better and you can move about without the "fun" of have to put the tent up at every new spot. I think these are well worth considering.

[@conniewaite1371]

Forgot to mention, with a rear door, you can add a tent on for more room!

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Or adapt the one from the Teardrop...goes on side or back?

[@ajf5823]

3 years later and this company has grown so much! Unfortunately their prices have too but so has their quality and it’s still a great deal . I plan to buy their off road V series and live full time in it. I love how they offer a lot of different options and you can get everything you need and nothing you don’t want

[@harrymills2770]

Yes, the prices went up, but not as much as most others and they started out among the lowest. And it wasn't just price hikes. They improved the materials and construction along the way. And you and I are both paying extra for the V-Series features, like the off-road wheels and tires, Timbren suspension and the Max Coupler hitch. I like a company that improves the basics rather than just adding frills. The minute a huckster starts in on the galley "everyone's raving about" I tune out. Tell me how it's built, what materials are used, and what components are used. I hope you're choosing to live in one and not forced to. A person could really stretch their money living that way. Harder in some ways. Easier in others.

[@VonCarnivore]

Finally a company that does not bankrupt you. Thank you.

[@FreemanInColorado]

I drove to Florida and picked up my Runaway Camper in January. A great company and a quality product at an excellent price. Mine is going to Alaska this June behind my MINI Cooper. Thanks Steve!

[@tybrady64]

Great idea! Something like that could last the rest of your life as opposed to van or RV which might need to be replaced.

[@happyhippyhaven]

I boondock in a Range Runner towed by a van. Solar and generator powered.

[@Grandpadew]

What a fantastic idea and like you said fills a need!!

[@themartinblairproject]

Thanks so much for posting this Bob and introducing us to this wonderful product as many of us try to figure out what rig to start out with.

[@Speedinginprogress]

What a great value, especially if you don't have the tools or skills to build your own.

[@Marimilitarybrat]

Love it! This would be a great solution for emergency evacuation during hurricane season. A clean place to sleep with AC

[@rkaag99]

[@whatsananna]

This is like getting the back portion of a van to build out - I like it!

[@ohmercy5924]

This is stellar. I’m just in the beginning of planning on how to get on the road, considering the different options that I might be able to afford. I’m in that low SS income bracket- $800 mo. I don’t even have a car yet. And I’m flat broke! LOL. My dog has been having chronic ear infections for the last year and a half so every penny goes to the vet. Anyway... I had been thinking of doing the mini-van camper as something I might be able to afford. But I just love this. It gives me hope that I’ll be able to do it. The owner seems like a really nice man.

[@michelleeason1906]

Thanks Steve and Bob. Great Video . Great option for full time living on a tight budget.

[@TravelerStephOriginal]

I love my Runaway Camper. 👍🏻

[@justineruth_]

Is it insulated?

[@bonniejorgenson722]

Like the shelves and door option on yours.

[@chasingsimpledreams]

Saw your interview with Bob and loved it. Love your energy and your positive outlook on life. You are a natural educator. And thank you for your service. Really, thank you.

[@davidgentile4576]

how much they cost?

[@marthak1618]

East coasters, one option for pickup might be to take the Amtrak AutoTrain from Lorton VA to Sanford FL and camp your way back home. The AutoTrain southbound can be very inexpensive in the spring when the snow birds are heading back north. It's quite a ride and one that everyone should do at least once. Good food, friendly fellow passengers and a low stress journey south.

[@dandydan2037]

Hey Bob, Camo Dave did a righteous bit on you. He explained how with all the things you do and have done to teach and promote the Nomadic lifestyle and all the help you have gave to others you deserve to get paid and I agree. What I really liked was how he pointed out that you are NOT an ebegger. Much admiration to you Bob.

[@larryoutdoors8437]

That is a real smart rig. Not completely sold on the solar idea yet, to pricey. For a cheap price you can run a generator. Excellent video Bob, thanks for hanging in there with us.

[@Sig721Tau]

Larry Outdoors Yes, we all that campers can and have run generators for a power source. Thanks, Captain Obvious.

[@leelastoma5809]

Super nice business owner. You can tell he is a honest hard working man. God bless his business. 🙏🏻

[@JimWorldLeader]

Thanks Bob for posting this video. I've been on some great adventures with my RangeRunner.

[@stumpgrinder13]

Finally a ridged towable tent, awesome price, lightweight, sturdy, can upgrade to suit yourself, throw your gear in and go, great job...

[@Goodgrief7811]

Great interview and review. It’s awesome to have an experienced nomad to give suggestion and additional information.

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

It looks good. Thanks for sharing. A very humble gentleman 👍

[@rosshussey1723]

Very informative video, especially listening to the owner explain the different models. My biggest concern is for older people as myself and sleeping on a 4" piece of memory foam. My back just can't stand that. I wonder if there is any other option available for bedding. These campers are primarily used to sleep in and stay out of the weather and afford some type of basic security which a tent does not give. I like the luggage rack option that one can attach an awning to that gives shade and a place to sit to view the campsite and scenery. Will weigh the options and look into purchasing one of these units.

[@1bike10]

Seems like these guys have a really great business going.Thanks for sharing.

[@PaulDormeyer]

Fabulous nomad beginner solution!!

[@ronb6182]

I seen some negative comments about "I can get a cargo trailer for the same price and can stand up" there is one thing one must understand cargo trailers are bulky and heavy empty and you need a truck to hall it. These campers are for small vehicles 4 and 6 kickers. I would buy if they have doors on both sides. I will stop buy sometime when I'm in Ocala maybe in march. The only way to know is to get in one and see if it's roomy enough to sleep two in. Thanks for posting.

[@paigemartineau4096]

This family owned company is fantastic! Steve is always ready to answer questions The service is great I own a 2021Cool camp It is going up for sale now, Purchased it Feb 2021 hasn’t even been pulled 2 miles has extras. I am going to buy the Range Runner This Camper is awesome, it is pulled with our Kia Soul ❗️

[@brigittemullett7285]

Hi Bob, Great video. There are a couple of other manufacturers that are offering great value as well. One in in Florida called the "Tiny Camper Company" . The other one is in SC. called "Rustic Trails teardrops". Both company's offer great value for their products. Their trailers are very reasonably priced for those on low income. Thanks again

[@2002dialupconnection_]

these are going to take over. A beautiful product,.

[@GabrielleFreedom]

Nice little campers! Thanks Bob for sharing!! 😊

[@edog4l]

Thanks Bob. We are all inspired by your videos. Can't wait to catch up with our fellow nomadic brothers and sisters. Be seeing you soon.

[@callmepr117]

This will work for us!! Thanks Bob & Steve

[@BubbaWarbucks]

Nice follow-up to the tour you did with Stephanie at RTR.

[@adamw4469]

Even better now, Runaways are built with NO WOOD and a shoebox lid style roof that sits over the wall panels. NO LEAKS!

[@alexanderlowe4236]

I cannot wait to get one of these. I had given up on finding a small trailer with the minimum stuff for an affordable price until I found these little trailers.

[@kricketjoy]

I want one of these so much. I'll get one for sure some day.

[@NoName83201]

Wish they would of showed build, insulation, materials chosen and why and showcase some of the options

[@terebrate]

This guy does a good tour of the factory and building process. I don't think they're insulated tho. kzbin.info/www/bejne/np-zlYarn7t7rKs&lc=z231t3vahsaugptw004t1aokgegswtzsi3ecd2yltregbk0h00410.1550440520162530&feature=em-comments

[@shanester8712]

That's the 1 draw back about runaways. Not insulated

[@swashbucklingadventures9929]

@@shanester8712 Should be fairly easy to add insulation then add walls and floor.

[@royrobbins2214]

One of these Suaoki 222Wh Portable Generator and a one Suaoki 100W 18V 12V Solar Panel . Now you have solar and enough power for a small setup. CPAP all night, after a sunny day.

[@susiepittman601]

Thanks Bob.

[@learningtobevegan8307]

I met a guy all the way in California who had one of these trailers he said he paid $3000 for it he was a traveling nurse, a good guy..

[@williamprior4525]

4q is

[@Areya-Sunshine]

This is a perfect option for those of us who can’t afford something bigger like a van. If I can tow the RangeRunner with my Prius, then I have my solution! Thank you so much! 😃

[@monkeynumbernine]

I would have bought one of those if I had been closer to him. I watched a lady's video who has one of these. She lives in it with a tent attached. It's very nice 🎶

[@paulao7022]

I would get one of those door screens with magnet holders for the doors and they shut by themselves. So easy to put up. As seen on TV.. I like that Navigator!

[@Scorpiomary]

Excellent idea. Thanks Bob for sharing

[@bollershad]

Great build. It would work for anyone and very affordable

[@dogie1070]

Bingo! I love how it's so basic! My imaginations running wild!

[@carolannmiller7911]

Love it! Protected from elements, add what you want ...make it uniquely yours w/o changing things out w/the extra costs too!

[@emitissimo7618]

That camper looks like it would be very easy to insulate.

[@paula.jackson5463]

Not sure as to if I could do it but boy this is a good unit and the gentleman was very sincere in the discussion! This product most definitely fills a niche!

[@mont5584]

Love the light weight. Can't wait to see what options can be installed. Thanks!

[@derykmacleod4979]

Great idea but if you have access to tools very buildable. I built 2 tiny travel trailers at a friends house who had a table saw and a miter saw. The first one I built out of cedar with black rubber roll roofing glued down on top. 4.5' x 8' x 4' tall with a kitchen box on the backside that also held 2 deep cycle batteries) cost me about $2500 to build 10 years ago. Towed it with a Pt Cruiser max tow weight was 1500lbs and I was way under it loaded to go camping. So there are options out there. That was my first woodworking project beyond a few birdhouses as a kid. I just read a lot on the web and watched a lot of youtube videos and planned it.

[@FreemanInColorado]

I just returned home from Moab in mine. The Runaway is a solid little product backed by a caring family!

[@josephanderson9555]

boy that you open my eyes to those runaway campers. I like it!

[@philcapling8268]

Bob, a really great video. The Runaway is great! Combine a Runaway with a Cargo Van Conversion & what a great way to travel! Thanks for all you do for us-the CEO and founder of Runaway is very astute and honest about his business. He will do well.

[@catnekokotyonok5180]

Thanks, Bob & Steve! I think I can actually pull that with my Toyota! Thanks, again!

[@mimij2415]

Thank you Just ordered my Runaway and got my $50 discount 👍 Can’t wait to have it delivered up to our house in Western Washington. Just in time for our first trip of the season in the PNW. Cheers BB 🍻

[@robfninh]

6x8 with the added storage in vehicle is a sound idea. Nice price too. Compared to a van build this is cheaper and your vehicle may get better mileage.

[@christoole6820]

Thank you so much for this video! I drive a Toyota Corolla and this is the only thing that it would pull and it's all that I need. Thank you so much for this!

Hello Bob. Nice little trailer for someone who wants start out full timing on a budget. Thanks.

[@brownbunny2513]

Steve, Bob, I'm sold, I dont like tents after I saw Jurassic park in the movies years ago.. And that price, to be off the floor & safe "in doors", with a locked door, can't beat that. You're gonna get a lot more orders Steve. Great video and info again Bob, thanks.

[@robertmcgee141]

Those seem great! Guys gonna be a big success.

[@setsailatnoon]

Admirable...I like the new Venturist, too.

[@joulemine]

Bob, if we knew you where gonna be close you could of borrowed the hookups on the side of our house! We are in Central FL, 1.5 hours south of Ocala. You are welcome to driveway surf but we will only be here till the end of May as our house is being sold so we can full time! Safe travels! -Thomas & Stacy

[@travelingwithrick]

I'm Not Lost I'm RVing if your one and a half hours south of Ocala you are now in south Florida.

[@joulemine]

Definitely not, Interstate 4 that runs from Tampa to Orlando is not in South Florida and we are 10 mins from it. Ocala is halfway between Gainesville (N-FL) and us.

[@lorismith3072]

Hope you’ll have an opportunity to interview Tom Cafaro at Weeroll. He also builds superior quality lightweight trailers and his models include some badass off road units and some units that you can stand in. I will be picking mine up from him in a few weeks. Mine came with insulated walls and ceiling, a white ceiling, roof vent, 2 windows, RV door, stabilizer jacks, electric, all LED, birch luan walls, diamond plate, radial tires, extended tongue, AC door to add window unit, rear barn doors for $4195.

[@vijayasambandam1660]

Oh thanks for sharing

[@MrDrews50]

They are small and inexpensive BUT a quality built product.

[@preachersdtr1]

Wow! thank you, Bob, for this one! Had no idea there was something like this - so affordable AND with options and possibilities for "accessorizing." These little "stepups" from a tent really answer a niche need. e.g: For a woman who has to go overnight fishing by herself, but knows how unsafe that can turn out to be (and also has only a small 4-cylinder car for towing her "shelter"); these could be the easiest, safest, most economical answer. I also read, recently, that many State and/or National Parks have now banned camping in tents, because of increasing numbers of "Bear incidents" in the parks. Believe it or not, Coyotes and Black Bears have made a reappearance here, in Ohio, in the last few years. So, we have been warned. One more thing occurs to me: When one of many "Special Occasions," such as out-of-town or out-of-state weddings, family reunions, funerals, etc, would otherwise find you having to sleep on a relative's couch or floor, or spend money you may not have for a motel room; whereas, with one of these lightweight, locking campers, YOU have, instead, your own private "room" with your own comfy bed, clothing, toiletries, food 'n' beverage supply if necessary, etc, parked in their driveway or nearby. Just simplifies everything! Steve, you gave us A LOT of useful information, in a very concise and easy-to-understand format and a pleasant manner. You struck me as someone who would be easy to do business with. You really know your product, and seem customer oriented. Thank you. Bob, thanks for another excellent interview & video.

[@travelingwithrick]

This guy got something here. I'm 40 miles from Ocala. I may go up there and check them out. Thanks for video Bob.
