Custer State Park and the area is one of the most beautiful areas in the United States. I have been there multiple times. So much to do! Mount Rushmore and Badlands and Wind Cave National Parks in the area. Buffalo roaming wild. Great trip.
Craig & Aspen - thank you so much for highlighting this beautiful part of America. Being from Iowa, the Badlands and Black Hills were always a vacation destination, and I feel that area is taken for granted by those of us nearby. It's always just been there. I love these videos, and I hope to have a small teardrop camper of my own one day so I can do the same. God bless and keep those great videos coming!
Thank you! We still talk about this trip all the time. We were worried we wouldn't have enough to do. We had an absolute blast. We'll definitely go back sometime. We've recommended that trip to everyone we know.
Thanks for watching! We've been loving your Alaska trip. I've noticed you've visited Land Between the Lakes, if you come back hit us up. We're only 15 minutes away.
Custer State Park is on our bucket list. We wanted to visit in 2022 but it didn't fit into our schedule. Hopefully soon!!! Love your little camper. We have a Kodiak Stealth from Rustic Trail Teardrops and we love it. It's fun when we're surrounded by huge vehicles, isn't it?!? On our last trip, we had a HUMUNGOUS Class A pull in next to us and the juxtaposition of our two rigs was pretty comical. Loved watching your footage. Your video makes us want to visit this area even more. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Thanks for the compliments! I LOVE Rustic Trails, I want that Grizzly Bear. You made a great choice. Definitely go to Custer, it's worth the trip just for that alone.
I really appreciate how you take the time to explain your thoughts on what you are doing! This is good for 1st timers and those who do not own a Runaway.
Thank you! I actually have a good friend in upper MI wanting us to come visit. It'll probably be next fall. I only get two weeks of vacation and we already have some other trips planned.
Awesome video! Great pictures! The Black hills is on my bucket list along with visiting Sturgis (minus the bike rally). I also want to visit Deadwood. My father was born in SD. Visited Sioux Falls when I was a kid, loved the area. Wasn’t able to talk my parents into driving west to see the badlands. We also have a Runaway We love our little camper too. Thanks for sharing
Stumbled across this vid tonight and subbed...what a great presentation! Excellent editing and music selection. We are practically neighbors as we own a lake home on KY lake and....we love our Runaways! Plural. Started with the RangeRunner, bought a Cool Camp a few months ago and we are purchasing a Rouser this week! Fav thing about this vid: the way you transition back and forth from camp life to day trips. Great focus on the camper; Runaways are becoming very popular so the RR segments are appealing. If you haven't joined the main three Runaway groups on FB then do so! Advertise your YT channel/vids there and invite members to watch; you'll increase subs that way. Looking forward to more Runaway adventures! Rhonda 🙂
We live about 5 miles from KY Dam Marina, that's crazy! What 3 would you say are the main ones? We're in a couple but want to make sure I'm in all the best ones.
@@iamcraiggentry Runaway Camper Owner's Club, Runaway Camper Owners, Runaway Campers World. Check out the # of members in each and how they are different. All three are fairly active. Our lake home is down near Paris Landing; we live in Clarksville. I have a practically new Cool Camp for sale if you know of anyone interested. Picking up our Rouser tomorrow! We loved our RangeRunner and Cool Camp but we're getting older and it's hard crawling around on our knees. 🙂
Picking up our Runaway tomorrow and planning our trip out west for next May. You videos were great and thanks for tips! Retired and ready to travel from East Tennessee to anywhere in the great outdoors
Nice build out on trailer. We do Sturgis, SD every year and love it there. Was wondering if the camper decreased your fuel mileage much with the weight & additional width behind your Highlander?
It's a 4Runner and it didn't decrease by much. We still average around 16-17mpg with it in tow. Wind is a big factor, it gets around 15mpg if it's windy.
Great videos. Are you part of the RCO midwest group on Facebook? Rallies are set up thru the year. I'm in another brand but love hanging out with Runaway friends.
Awesome video. Looks like you didn’t have a 7 pin connector. Does that mean you didn’t have trailer brakes? If so, how was the drive without trailer brakes?
My 4Runner usually averages around 20mpg, this trip we got around 15mpg round trip. It does better around here in the KY/TN area we live in, it gets around 17mpg around here.
We averaged around 15mpg while towing. It was doing around 17-18 from home until we reached the plains, then it got windy and we started climbing in elevation. We figured we would have gotten better coming home but it was the same both directions.
