PLEASE NOTE: Runaway Campers now have brand new FIBERGLASS Composite 2020 campers - no wood from now on in Runaway Campers!
Check them out here: • A 2020 Runaway Camper ...
We now own the 2020 Runaway RangeRunner fiberglass composite model!
Charles Moman describes his brand new Runaway Camper Navigator and the options he added to the standard model. Purchased in August, 2016.
PLEASE NOTE - when hitching up the Navigator, I did NOT cross the chains as my wife TOLD ME TO DO. I know you are supposed to - I just did not want to take the time to do it because I wanted to get to my tour of the camper. YES, CROSS YOUR CHAINS! This is especially for potential Runaway camper owners. Not expected . . . . but if my video has helped you to decide to order a Runaway, you could give my name as a referral when ordering your camper? No worries whether you do or don't - I was not even thinking about referrals when I made this Runaway introduction video.

You know what I love about RU-vid, the average everyday person will create an awesome video to help 10's of thousands of people in coming years without expecting any recognition other the yes, thank you for acknowledging my wisdom onto the world. Thank you Charles Moman. and people like you . Peace and ty.

@charlesmoman 7 лет назад

Thanks so much. I will soon have a new one about our new ARB awning and touring room installed on our Runaway. Good times. I also do talks about my trips to Auschwitz and survivor friend, Eva Kor.

@lauradubach8700 5 лет назад

Nice video. Great camper for the price and also the quality.

@@charlesmoman Hi Charles I would love to hear about your trip to Auschwitz and your friend Eva. Where can I find those talks. Thank you.

Ten minutes of continuous applause!!!! Far too many RU-vid videos are "SILENT MOVIES." Some daffy electo-hippity-hop music as the only sound heard with not one word spoken!!! BRAVO!!!

@charlesmoman 7 лет назад

Folks - I know you should cross the chains - I just did not in the video. In my video description above, I CLEARLY state that I KNOW I should have crossed the chains, but just kept on with filming my video. I also have a red box pop up at that moment in the video (around 2:48) where I say all of this again. I really cannot count the number of comments I have deleted constantly telling me to cross my chains. I do cross them in actual use and it is explained quite well in my video description and in the video with the red box. I understand people mean well when they comment though.

@davidleigh443 3 года назад

Hi Charles. I love your Runaway videos. You provide so much valuable information. Thank you. I am 6'1with a longer torso versus leg length (30.5 in inseam). I am trying to decide which works best for me. What I have done is mark against my bedroom wall 42 inches, factoring a 4" foam mattress; then tape some twine across the wall at the presumed runaway interior height. I can then simulate sitting up on the mattress to determine how much bedroom I would have. Thanks again for everything you and your wife Susie have done to promote the Runaways.

@charlesmoman 3 года назад

Thanks. BE sure to check out my videos about the newest fiberglass models.

@FloridaBackroads 5 лет назад

This is one of the best videos I've every seen describing the features of a travel trailer. I think Runaway should add it to their promotional material. Good job!

Thanks so much. I really love the campers and we consider the owner, his wife and kids to be friends. We camped in their back yard once! : ) Just good people.

@summerfunrides 7 лет назад

Oh my , I think this is what I'm looking for. Small enough and lite enough (?) to pull with my 4 cylinder Hyundai. Very helpful on the thought of the extra purchases and how and why on the uses! And just seeing how one could enter that's less mobile was a great idea to put in your video. I'm female and I would be able to handle this set up and my cousin is handicapped. I just wish this was big enough to have a bed at the front for an extra person. Of corse I could purchase the bigger but price and weight could be an issue. Love the little extra touches your wife added also and seeing one could set up inside on a fold out without busting your brains lol. Thanks for the video, good job!

I really appreciate you demonstrating getting in and out because I do have a mobility disability. I hear Runaway is now making a model that you can stand up in. I'm waiting to see that one. I looked on their website but did not see it advertised yet. All the best to you and your wife.

@charlesmoman 8 лет назад

Thanks! They did make the larger model this past year, but stopped. I have heard they make make some more of them - you should call them right away and see what their plans are. I'm not sure the stand up model will always be available or if they will continue making it. Just call them 352-342-3454 - nice people. All the best and blessings!

@Jamiesjammin1 5 лет назад

Wonderful video! Thank you for taking the time to make this! I can tell you are very intelligent guy who is trying to help out a guy like me who needs it...haha.....I am looking into buying one of these trailers and it has been hard to picture what it is like maneuvering inside and getting in and out of it until I saw this. So VERY BIG THANK YOU and God BLESS YOU!

@charlesmoman 5 лет назад

Thank you! Today we are doing final packing for a trip to Florida for the 2nd annual Runaway Campers Homecoming Rally. I will be filming at the Rally like last year. Last year I did a Runaway Factory Tour film - look it up on this channel. While I am there, I will be filming 2.0 version of this primer video. It will show all of the modifications we have made, as well as a general review of using out 4x8 Runaway camper for almost 3 years. It will be posted here in a few weeks at the most. You might also look at my new RU-vid channel - Moment by Moman - which we just started and it will feature our trips and others things. There is also a FaceBook page by the same name, as well as my momentbymoman Instagram account. We love our Runway, but it is not for everyone, but it works for us. Good luck in your decision making. The 6x8 version is becoming more and more popular, but we like the smaller size.

@Justwantahover 4 года назад

You could make one out of an old trailer pretty easily. It would be even cheaper if you can scab the materials.

@freezinweasle1 5 лет назад

Very good video. Actually, if the chains are coming from a central point on the trailer frame you do not need to cross the chains. When the chains are coming from either side of the trailer frame, then you need to cross them. It's a good habit to be in but you did not do anything wrong as your chains come from the same point. But then again, you should have listened to your wife. (just because) :) again, nice informative video. Thank you.

@RockTBoat-ft5cs 8 лет назад

Thanks for the video; There are so many tiny campers to choose from. I have narrowed it down to the Runaway, but I also like the MyMini, both seem to be good bang for the buck....I still got about 2 years of research to do before I pull the final trigger on getting one, but I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video, helps with the final decision process..

@charlesmoman 8 лет назад

Glad you liked it. I did a lot of research and I feel I got the best value with the Runaway Navigator. Good luck on your search!

@RockTBoat-ft5cs 8 лет назад

@feellnfroggy 7 лет назад

If you have to change a tire on the trailer, just set all your leveling blocks under the rear jack matching thwheel and raise it up with stabilizing jack. between the other wheel, stabilizing jack, and hitch connection you have a 3 point stand. Is doesn't get any safer or faster than that, BTW Im from Ocala as well. lol.

@Justwantahover 4 года назад

The best thing about these small campers is that you don't even need a vehicle. Going by the start of your video a pair of legs and a winch would be all you need. Homeless people could have one and they could just walk it around. Cheap living.

@dianacoxsfbcwritinglab748 5 лет назад

Wow. I'm glad I watched this before I ordered one. I would not have realized how important that second door can be. Thank you for the insight.

Lately I have been posting many new Runaway videos - including on this morning with my wife and I showing how we fit in the 4x8 and 6x8 models. see it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6GVq__aOk7c.html Very soon, I will have nice short videos about all the current Runaway camper models - the CoolCamp, RangeRunner, Venturist, Slice and Rouser.

I appreciate the fact that you start with a very basics and explain the progress you have made and what you have learned. It's also very nice to here are the specific details about products that you purchased for travel safety.

@charlesmoman 5 лет назад

Check out the multitude of other Runaway videos on my channel, including one specifically about hitching and towing and the use of the DuraSafe Connect device that will not let the camper get unhitched.

@lancebaker1374 7 лет назад

Instead of those yellow "Lego" levelers, a layer or two of 2 x 6 works well, and usually leaves enough extension for the wheel chocks.

@Charles77598 5 лет назад

Fantastic! Thank you for the video. Gives me hope there is one that fits my needs. I am 66 and not married and love to travel and do not want to spend 100.00 a night in motel rooms! Great video!

Thanks. Check out my latest Runaway videos and I think you will be convinced! I have new ones on each specific model, a factory tour, a version 2.0 of this video, our 3-year review and much more. If you wanted to go really light - check out my video on the "Slice" Runaway. It is 4 x 6.5 and used with motorcycles, but many solo travelers use it with a car. Like this one - just a little shorter. Good luck shopping!

@daviddirom7429 7 лет назад

Great video Sir, just came across the runaway trailer today in another video. Think like others who commented you covered all the basics. I'm looking for this or something similar to pull behind my expedition, not into the bigger is better thingy lol. Wonder about a road trip to Florida this summer maybe lol

@lancebaker1374 7 лет назад

For folks who only want to be in the camper during sit down evening, lay down night, this is great. Many retired folks want to spend 20 hours a day in their camper, so THIS IS NOT FOR THEM!!!

@belmar1585 5 лет назад

Excellent video! Just what I needed since my husband and I have no experience at all. Thanks to you and to your wife. Happy trails....God bless!

@lancebaker1374 7 лет назад

Two advantages to 15" wheels: longer between bearing lubes (wheel turns fewer times per mile) and a bit closer to level with a pickup or SUV. For my Honda Fit, 12" wheels make my kit trailer nearly level.

@joeo7257 8 лет назад

Here is a good tip for backing a trailer: If you are backing a trailer using side mirrors... If you look in the side mirror and see the trailer and don't want to. Turn your steering wheel into that side, as if you are trying to run over it.

@charlesmoman 8 лет назад

Thanks! I just need to get out and practice! : )

Thanks for that full review. You really did an excellent job of many of the basic questions that we still had after viewing and reviewing other Runaway Camper videos.

@duane4972 7 лет назад

A Maxx air vent fan does a tremendous job keeping campers cool, add a 100 watt solar system and a Dometic compressor cooler and you have most everything you'dd need.

@charlesmoman 7 лет назад

Good tips - we have thought about a roof vent, but I hate cutting a hole in the roof. I doubt I will ever go solar - we will likely never do serious boondocking. But time will tell . . .

Charles, I've watched your video a number of times, and based on your excellent "primer" here, I made the decision to purchase a Navigator model. Was considering the Range Runner, but decided I didn't need the extra width. Very nice job on this primer. Am ordering the Black/Gray (Silver) color trim to go with my black SUV, but love your red trim package with the red F150. Thanks and hope to meet you on the road.

@jack_wright_1685 4 года назад

From years of towing with trucks the hitch really doesn’t make any noise

@charlesmoman 4 года назад

The hitch tighter certainly made it quieter. : )

@OU8Aspark 5 лет назад

To keep the receiver hitch from rattling i drilled a second hole. I use the pin that came with hitch and a bolt.

@sniperdoug1969 5 лет назад

Buy an extra ball. Put it in the ball of your trailer lock it down. That way no one can no one can come up and hook up with a smaller ball. Let’s say you have a 2 inch ball. I can put a 1 1/2 ball into your ball even if it’s locked down. If you place an extra ball into your hitch and lock it down no one can small ball hook up to your trailer. Also make sure you file off the threads on your extra ball. That keeps someone from putting your spare ball into their hitch. Or you can buy an extra nut and put two nuts onto your lock ball and weld them together and then weld it to your stud. If you can’t weld. It will cost you 5 bucks at a muffler shop for someone to weld it for you. Just a suggestion to keep you safe and deter theft. Also buy 4 feet of heavy chain and chain your wheel to your axel and double lock it down. Do both of these and add a locking nut to your wheels and no one can steal your trailer.

@thejerseyj1636 5 лет назад

At 4:00 you see how the landing wheel is spinning while you're cranking. Hold it with your foot so it doesn't spin and it will go up and down faster.

@charlesmoman 5 лет назад

The Jersey J Yep, I know all about that. I made this video almost 3 years ago a couple of weeks after I bought my very first camper - the Runaway. But thank you anyway.

Lots of very good information. Going to have to check out the Runaway. I'm sure that I can get one insulated (or do it myself). Living in Vermont, it gets kind of cold, even in the summers sometimes. But, that looks to be about the perfect size, and with good options. Thanks for the vid!

@mattpeet329 3 года назад

Only thing I would change is to chalk the tires before unhooking it from the truck. If you are on a hill and unhook from the truck then the trailer will just roll away. Saw it happen to someone in another RU-vid video.

Absolutely AMAZING video. Sounds to me like you should consider being an online specialist for Runaway. Thank you for sharing. Much love from Central California, city of Tulare.

I pretty much am. Look at the videos on my channel and you will see a zillion Runaway-related videos. In the last few months I have uploaded many. I am not paid by them and they have been working a little better with their social online stuff and they use mine as well. My production values have certainly increased since this first video. And thanks.

Hey if u place four pieces of plywood, and angle them to the ground leaning against your generator that will make your generator a whole lot quieter just use scrap plywood if that's all you have

@charlesmoman 5 лет назад

I suppose that would work - but we rarely use it and it is already very quiet. Thanks for watching!

A theif can still pull it away using the tow emergency chains. Some people cut the chains off and use a strong clip to reconnect them....then when parked and left, a thief has less opportunity to steal your camper. Lock the spare and use a wheel lock. This will just make it longer and harder for him to get....

A crook will always find a way.

Best Runaway video I have seen. Thanks much! Definitely told me what I need to know. Can you comment about the Runaway now that you have had it a couple years?

Doug Nicholl We still love it with the two ARB awnings and platform for the bed. Fits our needs.
