A lot of the old people don't realize that your crawling around on your hands and knees inside that box . Father has one and complains about this all the time and he's only 56 . I suggested knee pads and he told me to mind my own business !
I just bought a used Runaway Cool Camp two weeks ago and I'm in the process of redoing the inside to be pretty cute. :) It's on my channel if you want to follow along. I have a 12" high porta potty and wouldn't camp without it! I definitely use it.
What kind of TV antenna do you have that it works that well from behind walls? I have experimented with them in my house and the performance doubles when you get it outside. I have tried the flush mount type and one that looks like an airplane wing. That one needs to be aimed at towers to work well, and aimed through a window. I'd like to find something better. I don't hot the road much and when I want to see A&E or a cable channel like that I can use data to do it, but there are 2-3 network TV shows I like to watch, and my cable provider's app doesn't give me locals if I am not on their network. More experimenting to do before my first post Covid road trip. I bought my trailer in July 2019 and because of a knee replacement and dog situations, now Covid, I have yet to be able to get away in it.
Hello Dr. Beth, I had Jim bring my camper out of the barn to have my little stay at home vacation with the camper. I was wondering what kind of hitch you have. The SUV should be good for pulling. We had a Reese hitch when we had a 17 foot camper and pulled with the SUV. 💕 NonnaGrace
I've been researching these small campers and im STILL shocked at the prices. The *base price* of this camper is $6,000. Thats ridiculous for basically a box with wheels.
@@Drbethturtlewoman Not just a table but also missing every other amenity most larger campers have at a fraction of the cost in scale. Like say an 18'Jayco trailer with 30amp shore power, fresh/grey/black reservoirs, a bath, a kitchen, a dinette at just $16k. Seriously, if you look at how little materials and labor are involved in a teardrop by comparison, it doesnt make sense to cost that much. I could see if they crammed all those amenities into a teardrop cleverly like a swiss army knife with *premium* lightweight materials but they use the same stuff. Aluminum, wood, fiberglass, rubber steel etc.
Vinny says , yes you can run that little air conditioner ! Go out and buy a small 2,000 watt generator . Their worth the money . Nobody should be out there without a gen set .
Thanks for this helpful video! We love our Runaway Camper and travel in it full-time right now!

Buy the Rouser model you can stand up in that one.
I bought an adjustable hitch from Menards. You can raise or lower the ball to make the camper pull level.
thank you
Thanks for the pros AND cons of the Runaway. Happy Travels, even if it's just to your back 40!
I’ve been researching these Runaways and the Hiker Trailers. How much has your camper impacted your miles per gallon?
I will put up a new video soon to answer your questions
i really like the versatility of the CoolCamp and the RangeRunner great choice
you can also go up to a
15 on your tires for height

buy a low hitch ball
I'm interested in buying a Runaway contact me if you decide to sell. I am planning order a new one very soon but would be interested in your camper.

I agree, you need to be able to stand up and have a table,
