Great job on your Rouser, a 2 yr update on your camper build would be great! I plan to do a similar build except L-shaped fixed beds (no set up) for two adults that is also a couch with a swivel table where the two beds meet and small kitchen in the front like yours. Thanks for sharing.
You could likely run the 5000BTU A/C with a decent portable generator. My son and I played scenario paintball for years, travelled all over the SouthEast and lived out of a 18' utility trailer (on the weekends) that I setup much like your outfit. A generator makes a welcome addition to a setup like that.
You did a fantastic job. Very impressed by your electrical system. All the wires are nicely concealed. Amy at How We Roll RV... We are the TN Runaway dealer.
Great job Ben. I have been working on my new cargo trailer for a month and hopefully a few weeks away from finishing but you have definitely given me some new ideas to possibly implement.
HI Ben, well I have watched this twice. Best thing is no ads!!! I know that doesnt help you out, but I like when there are no ads!! You mentioned NC, where are you exactly? I am in charlotte and would love to come check it out before i order one from Fla...thanks and great video
Hey Ben it has been eight months since your last post in regard to the Rouser. We have one on order and should be picking it up in August 2022. Any new insights now that you had the chance to test it out on the road as well as camping? Anything that you would have done different? Anything that you really enjoy about this camper? We really liked your build and are curious how it has worked out for you and your family.
Yes, I would like to share some future adventures. So far, we have just had a few local trips to test everything out. I have considered making a trip to Florida in January. But my 2022 goal is to do quite a bit of exploring in Western North Carolina in the camper!
Once I found your videos, I had to watch them on your modification of the Rouser. Great job!!! How has the Rouser held up as a camper? Any issues on the axle, tires, body, etc.? I had heard some negative on them but still would like to consider one. Thanks Ben.
Thanks a lot. I think the electrical might give me some challenge. Never done any of that. Nice to see someone has done the exact same thing I want to do tho with a campers interior. Thanks again! @@BenLaurenzi
Hello Ben, After watching your videos several, several, several times, I'm very much considering buying a Rouser myself. How is it holding up after 2 years? Do you still have it? Any wear and tear? Any problems? I greatly appreciate your response. Thank you and have a bless day.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Rouser has been holding up great for me. No issues with the camper. Some of the 3m tab that I used to secure hooks and conceal wiring has fallen off the walls. I will fix in the spring.
I dont want the tall runaway I would like the 5 x 8 with only AC and three doors with windows. The rear must have a large door for hauling stuff when im not camping. Must be light so a small SUV can tow with little decrease in MPGs. I do like some of your additions but they wont work on the lower ceiling campers. My SUV can have a gally and keep the runaway for sleeping. 73
I never did get the total weight. I should just drive onto a scale at a landfill or similar. But the original trailer was less than 900 lbs, and I would guess that I must have added 400 - 500 lbs.
Thank you! In this video I was using an Audi Q7. I have also pulled the camper with a BWM X3 which has a tow rating of 4,400 lbs (I think the camper is less than 1,400).
Fantastic and impressive build out. Being 6' tall do you have room to sleep side to side? Also, did that door/screen door combo come with the trailer? Or did you add the screen door after the initial purchase of the trailer? If so where did you get the add on/aftermarket screen door? Safe and happy travels to you and your family. Thanks for sharing.
@@BenLaurenzi Is it a standard full/double size bed? Based on those dimensions and with it being 6 feet long, that won't fit according to Runaway's website that has the interior dimensions
