I hope to buy the 4x8 model this year, so thanks for giving me so many good ideas. And so kind of you to post all the links, I'll be referring back to this in the future no doubt. Compliments on your good audio too.

Well done

@msjohnson851 5 лет назад

Thanks

@ZiggZagg11 6 лет назад

It is very nice... The extra effort to carpet your new shelves looks very nice... The window treatment is low profile and easy... I think it is time to go camping... 🤔

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback! We are eager to take it out soon.

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

I've updated the description of the video to include links to the products I used for my build.

@a1930ford 4 года назад

Thanks for posting the links. In the future it may well be great to have if I do puck up a Runaway. It all looks pretty clean and neat.

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

Hey everyone. We hope to do a new video soon to show the new maxxair fan we installed. Stay tuned!

@gamerhawk2376 6 лет назад

Good job on the video, nice to see up close since Runaway doesn't have too many videos to see. I'm close to ordering my RangeRunner. Where did you get the rack behind your battery box. Any advice on accessories you maybe should have got but didn't. Thanks.

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

We bought our camper 1 yr used from a lady local to us. She had the front rack installed as an option from the manufacturer. As far as accessories go, we have only been out 1 time so far and wish we had a roof vent fan. i will be researching them and installing one in the near future. i am sure we will find other things, but we will just add them as we go.

@a1930ford 4 года назад

Tocber.com has the fuse block for $24.98 and 5 bucks for shipping, They take PayPal, too.

@Nottazippo 6 лет назад

Vents? Screen door? A cross breeze is great. I have a Teardrop and without the roof Fantastic fan and the two door screens it would be miserable. Now I don't have A/C but with the fan and the cross breeze its really not bad. Do you have condensation issues?

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

We are planning to make screens for the doors eventually, but haven't gotten around to it yet. we do get a little condensation, but not bad because we sleep with windows cracked. I plan to put in a fantastic fan, but haven't gotten around to it because I will have to fabricate a bracket to match the curve of the roof. thanks for the comment.

@rubberdiscoduck 6 лет назад

Sorry for the delay. Again you did a great job with the wiring. Ok here I go. We're did you get all the stuff from. The outside lights, fuse panel, battery monitor, dome light, cut off switch, Thanks scott

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

Scott H I got the fuse panel, wiring, and cut off switch from Amazon. The lights were from rvparts.com. I can provide links, but cannlt do so until the weekend. If you do want them let me know.

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

I updated the description to include links to all the products I used. :-)

@rubberdiscoduck 6 лет назад

Matt J thanks for the update. Will be a big help, thanks

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

Scott H Your welcome. let me know if you have any questions.

@csloan37 5 лет назад

Looking to buy such a trailer.

@christoole6820 2 года назад

how did you mount the LED lights?

@Shoshanim222 5 лет назад

Wow, great job! Did you do a video of how you wired everything? Did you have to take the wood panels out or drill any holes?

@mattjohnson4489 4 года назад

Sorry. Wasn't really planning to put up a video when I did the mods, was a last minute decision. I did have to drill one hole through the floor in the corner to run to the battery, but it wasn't very big.

@unacamper9123 5 лет назад

WOW! A light switch! WOW!

@msjohnson851 5 лет назад

Not exactly sure what this comment is supposed to mean, but thanks for watching.

@a1930ford 4 года назад

Where are you located in Texas? I am in the Wichita Falls area, myself. Did you pick up your runaway at the factory? The nearest dealership in up around Tulsa from here. I am very interested in the Ridge Runner, myself. Nice video.

@mattjohnson4489 4 года назад

I'm in California and bought it 1 year used from a lady that moved here from Florida. She basically used it to travel out here with and then sold it for half what she paid.

@Brian-lr1up 6 лет назад

are you happy with the Noco Charger? I'm doing a similar build and i'm about to buy the charger.

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

I am very happy with the Noco charger. Very well built, no annoying humming, and doesn't generate hardly any heat. The model I got was the gen1 I think. It is a 10 amp charger and doea not overcharge. I dont leave it plugged in constantly, but rather plug it in every couple of months.

@trucker512 4 года назад

What size camper is that

@edbenson98 6 лет назад

Major upgrade on your electrical system. Very nice! What about bathroom/showers and your kitchen? #MJ

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

Thanks for the cpmment. We like dry camping and don't really care about having a bathroom or a shower. We almost always camp by water, so going for a swim is shower enough for us. As for the kitchen, right now we have a camp table and propane stove. I plan to build a table to go into the rear hitch on the trailer. It will fold down for travel and will be adjustable for height in case we use as a dining table.

@rubberdiscoduck 6 лет назад

Another question, how do you have the cables routed from the battery

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

They come out of the battery box, run on the underside of the frame rail wrapped in split wire loom, and them come up through the floor. I know you mentioned that you would like to talk sometime, so let me know if that is still the case. If so, I sent you an email a while back to your personal email so you should have mine. Respond with you number to that email and I will call when I get a chance. Thanks!

@rubberdiscoduck 6 лет назад

Matt J I tried several times to email ya but it kept coming back unsecsesfull. Can we try again Scott. inferno1959@gmail.com

@pipercan1 6 лет назад

Could you sleep sideways in this camper by any chance?

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

I am too tall to be able to sleep sideways, but my wife can and she is 5'8". She doesn't have much room at the end of her feet though. :-)

@pipercan1 6 лет назад

Thanks Matt, much appreciated.

@aaronwalker2019 6 лет назад

Where did you get the dimmer light?

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

Here is the link to the light www.rvupgradestore.com/Interior-Dual-LED-Dome-Light-p/55-1092.htm. The dimmer module is sold individually and there are also modules for motion sensor or night light you can buy. Thanks!

@aaronwalker2019 6 лет назад

Thank You!

King?

@seminolerick6845 6 лет назад

Whaa ? you have to turn on the interior lites via the trailer tongue ckt btkr switch ? ... methinks u will be revising this option...lol

@msjohnson851 6 лет назад

I think you are confused. You don't have to turn on interior lights from tongue. The switch in the battery box is a breaker to kill all power to everything hooked up. This way if I need to work on anything, I simply flick the kill switch and the fuse panel is dead. Also, I kill the power when storing so if anything is left on or if there is parasitic draw from anything the battery wont die.

@mistychenoweth9716 4 года назад

All that wiring looks complicated. I wouldn’t have a clue.

@mattjohnson4489 4 года назад

It's really not that complicated. 😀 You could do it!

@dalehumphrey8765 5 лет назад

Walkway? How? On your knees? lmfao

@badcallsign4204 5 лет назад

Your padlock on your battery box is a Master lock. Not secure despite its appearance and nonsense on the packaging. You should get a real padlock if you haven’t already.

@mattjohnson4489 4 года назад

Lock is not meant to be theft proof. The way I look at it is if someone wants your stuff they will get it. I was just trying to make it annoying enough to make them pass on taking my stuff. Thanks for the feedback.
