I was looking for a way to either spend more time learning and exploring a body of water over a few days, or quickly moving from one campsite to another to explore and fish the waters near that new location. I would require a fun economical way of spending a couple of days fishing and exploring, so I started to look into the possibility of getting a micro camper. Many of the models that I saw were surprisingly expensive until I ran across the RunAway Camper. With AC, they were only $3500-$5500. A far cry from the $18,000 and up from the other manufacturers I have been seeing. RunAway Campers seemed to be building a large following, so they would be worth a look. They will fit in a garage and are light, so they can be towed by almost any vehicle. So off to Pennsylvania I go to visit a dealer near me....less than a 3 hour drive. No need for me to drive to Florida where they are built.
The improvements to the 2020 models are wonderful.

Thanks for your video. I bought a 2019 4’X8’ Venturist off road camper and had all the upgrades added. It’s been the best investment I’ve made! I pull my camper with my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and it’ll go anywhere my Jeep will go. Have fun on your fishing trips.

So it has been awhile, are you still enjoying your Venturist? Have you made any changes to it yourself? I need to make a return trip to see the lastest Runaway camper in PA.

Good one. One of my favorites is the 4x8 as I want to go small & light as possible. I just thought of putting some type of futon couch or the like in there hopefully to just have enough room on the floor up against the wall to put my feet down & a tv on the opposite wall.

I bought the Cool Camp model, all composite, purchased at XYZ Camping in 2022. Mike there was great placed my order online and picked it up in PA. 4 hour plus trip for me to get there worth every second. The plus time cam from every time I stopped for gas or stretching, people came over to ask questions. I use a Rock Pals 612w solar power station (caught one of their deals with a solar panels. I run an IceCo refrigerator/freezer and have a small ice machines. Cook on a Pit Boss which is like the more expensive flat grill Blackstone. Nothing like steak and onions on a grill after some hard hiking. Nothing like glamping with fresh cold ice for drinks or putting on those fish to bring home. Went through one night wicked stormy night he first week just before going home from one of my favorite getaway parks. I planned being in the storm to give it the full test. Storm was so bad the park sent rangers the next morning to check on every one. I was snug dry and comfy. Some people while I was there brought me small fruit pint baskets as a thank you for showing them the interiors and answering questions. The inside has a slight African Wakanda them. Two warrior women on the walls and wall fern art near the air conditioner. I should post the video from my phone someday. patio mat as I step out with a small magnetic clip awning with the poles for shade. Keeping it simple. Small flat tv with a kickstand and older DVD play play off the power station for glamping, less than $40 for all. Walmart USB fan for $12 cause the air cond is to much for me. I just like the air moving. So with the power station I am off-grid. I can boondock in the Adirondack Mtns of New York State. Many happy fishing days and hope you make it to the finger lake for additional fishing. You may be able to boondock at the BassPro Store in Auburn. You have to ask management of course.

Unfortunately, I did not get one. I wanted to, but I realized that I would need the 6x8 version. My garage unfortunately, was too small in width for the 6x8, since I cannot keep toys like that in my driveway due to HOA rules. I would have to park it in my backyard, but my backyard is a steep slope. So for now I opted to out fit my minivan as a mini camper. It has similar measurements to the 4x8 version, so I will try that route for now.

Hi Ted. I have not purchased my Runaway camper, yet. I needed to buy a new vehicle first. My old SUV is currently 18 years old. I just bought a minivan a few days ago. I am currently re-evaluating my goal and needs, but the Runaway that I was looking at was the 4x8 and the 6x8. I like the room of the 6x8, but it is a few inches too wide to fit into my garage. So I am going with the 4x8. I decided that I would get the roof rails, so I can mount a Yakima Skybox on top to add more storage space. I am also getting one with a rear door. That is so I can add an SUV tent to the back of the Runaway when doing extended camping trip. The SUV tent will give me private standing space outside of the Runaway.

Check out Weeroll.com which are made in Florida. They are all aluminum camper and are far superior quality than runaway. I have visited both manufacturers here in Florida. They are many videos on RU-vid where the panelling flies off the roof on the runaway and poor caulkng seems to be a common problem on runaways. With your mobility issues I would try to Get something low maintenance like the Weeroll and stay away from the runaways with their poor quality issues based off of other owner reviews.

Hi Debra, I love my Runaway "Cool Camp". I have the 4x8 named the "Navigator" now named "Cool Camp". I purchased mine 3 years ago and have done several modifications to it. Though I have never heard of the roof flying off of the Runaway campers. It is easy to move around and easy to tow.

@@nomadicgoddess3648 I respectfully have to disagree with your comments about Runaways. We have owned one for years and it has zero problems. The rare people who complain about caulking simply are not keeping up with proper maintenance - ALL RVs and campers need recalling eventually and many do not do their proper upkeep - and if they do not - they will get leaks. That is not Runaways problem - the owner needs to do it like a car owner does oil changes, etc. The few I have read about also bought a USED Runaway (this happened to very good friends of ours) and the previous owner did not keep up with normal and proper maintenance that is required for ALL campers, including the brand you are pushing. I have filmed in their factory and it is simply not true that they doing poor caulking. "Panels flying off"? What? Absolutely never heard of any such thing. Anything can happen - even to a BMW - but it is unfair to uniformly state the issues you are saying are universal. Not at all. Runaways are very well made and there are 1000's of us who own them with NO issues, as long as we do NORMAL MAINTENANCE that all campers and RVs need. Weeroll may make decent units - I have seen them - as does Hiker Trailers and others - and we all can have opinions - but when I compare, I do not go by rumors or exaggerations to make my point.

I have heard from a few Runaway owners and they love the campers. The 4x8 is light and you can move it with your hands. I am no expert, but I am trying to learn more about them from other owners, and so far they give the Runaways a thumbs up.

@bigswig27 you can check out xyzcamping.com to view all inventory photos and window stickers which show the cost breakdown of each camper. The interior LED switch/light is an add on option and the cost is $10.00 each installed. The exterior solar motion activated LED light is also an add on option and the cost is $20.00 each installed. These simple inexpensive LED's are a great feature to get your Runaway ready for quick camping!

I never got the Runaway.... I am still evaluating my needs since I had to buy a new vehicle. I got a Honda Minivan and when I looked at the height and space once you remove the seats behind the two front seats, then you have almost as much room as the 4x8 Runaway, I really wanted the 6x8 Runaway, but it is a few inches too wide at the tires to fit in my garage.

The guys that make these are just down the road from me in Florida, I've been over there a couple of times... nice people. I've been begging them to make a 5 foot model... 6 is too wide, and 4 is just too narrow... but to date they just refuse... I guess they are doing too well with the line they have. In my humble opinion a 5 X 10 would offer much more utility than the 6 by 8... you could put a galley on the back, and still have a full 8 ft inside... not sure why they won't do it. Very frustrating to me actually. I would buy one tomorrow! They are good people, they just say they can't make a 5X10 for the same price as the 6 X 8... it's the same square ft 48 vs 50??? I'm guessing they don't have a piece of equipment they would need, and they just won't buy it.

You can have a look at the Wee Roll which can be had as a 5x10, they are insulated, and they are open to doing custom changes to your unit. They have a short model, but the standard interior is 66" so you can stand up but the outside is still able to fit in most garages. Slightly more expensive but not too much more than Runaway. Just another option for you.

They have some nice looking campers for sure. I'd say one of the reasons people enjoy the runaway is low profile. A person like myself that would only use a handful times a year could sacrifice not standing up in the camper. Keeps you outside doing other activities I'm sure. Not to mention, I personally like my stuff out of the weather and this runaway could fit my garage door opening. Both companies make some sweet looking campers though. Wish I could financially afford one.

Hey MOC... rob-kayak (from snagged) here... thanks for all your vids.. always get me stoked ! Doubt I inspired you with my trip last year... and my trailer bivwack... mychesapeakebay.net/kayakfishing/images/bivwack.jpg But if you look at the pic it might give you some ideas... Don't know if your home owners association does not permit you to have trailers on the street or in your driveway.. and thus I can see needing to keep it in the garage. But bigger is always better. Notes... If you install a platform for the bed you have storage underneath. Bed width.. is a pain... not many "good" air mattresses are narrow. I've done a lot of investigation of memory foam.. etc etc... Even considered chopping a real mattress in half to better fit... a narrower profile in the pic... you don't need much width for a bivwack. Shelving.. a big bonus... I am working on some fold down/up mods. Lighting... you want an overhead light.. no biggie.. there are a bunch of led's you can get battery operated that you can install. get a "detachable" one... that way you can grab it when you need to search for your stuff... or whatever... mine was great on my trip last year. In the picture... the bed is a plywood sheet that is attached with hinges and folds up. It is actually supported in the "down" position by my storage containers. No real platform to support it. Well anyway... thanks for posting and happy bivwacking ! you can always contact me at snagged.
