We are weekend warriors from Coastal Virginia traveling in our Runaway Camper with our two dogs!
Tiny Camper Winter Trip | Davis Lakes Campground in Suffolk, VA
This was our first trip in our 2021 Runaway Rangerunner! Spoiler alert: It was freezing cold. What did you learn after your first trip??
We decided to stay pretty close to home, so we stayed at Davis Lakes Resort in Suffolk, Virginia. You can tell this place is hoppin' in the summertime, but in February it was just us and a lot of full-timers! It was nice to do a trial run with the camper. We realized we want to add some more storage and cup holders. Biggest lesson learned: camp when it's warm!

I just bought a used runaway and it was originally from XYZ 😅
Inside a coffin before it's actually time.
Great ideas 💡 THANKS for sharing 👌 cool 😎 👍
Thanks for this video. I've got one foot in the water on a RRR and this helped to visualize the end result. I like the tri-fold mattress, and floor coverings but a little on the fence on the wooden crates. One suggestion from a production standpoint. IMO, your filler music is way too loud. It should be quieter than your dialog not a bunch louder. Not a deal breaker to watch your vid. but for sure annoying.
Did you decide NOT to paint interior walls?
Nice set up. I just got a Runaway Navigator and looking for ideas. Where did you get those wooden crates and what are the dimensions
What is the cylindrical gray pop up thing next to the crates?
Congrats! I am considering the Range Runner, but I've never towed anything. I drive a Kia Sorento, 6cyl. What are the specs on your Subaru and do you experience any issues towing?
Nice video.
FWIW, we had a "CLAM" & gave it away. They are easy to put up & are very sturdy, true. But they are heavy & packed up are pretty big. We have an old Chevy Astro van so space is at a premium. We reverted back to our old REI screen house. A third of the packed size & half the weight. Whatever you end up with, try to make sure the top is waterproof or add a tarp. Thanks for the great video.
Hope to see more from you guys
I love the floor! Great idea subbed
Love your runaway Wish you tons great memories out there 🙏
I will be getting my Cool Camper in December. Thank you
Lol..when u cut wrap on mattress it reminded me of pulling up my jeans after 2020🤪 My Runaway is shipping as we speak. It’s so exciting! Love your ideas.
I just seeing your video now. I hope you guys are doing great. I thinking to get a runaway. I believe you guys would be better with a LED straps instead of a hose.
Just found your channel, congratulations on camper. Will be following your travels and love your dogs.
You two did a great job showing us what things you have done in order to make for a more organized and comfortable camping experience in you Runaway. Like that shower caddie - smart solution. If I could offer one suggestion: when you pan a space with your cell, think about slowing the pan down a bit. Eyes can quickly scan an area, whereas that camera lens cannot. Hope you guys have an awesome experience with your new Runaway. I wish you success in your studies.
How does it tow with your Outback?
Great! Hardly feels like it’s there once you get going.
You guys are millennials and you live in Virginia are you left wing nut job Democrats
Screw AMAZON
What size is your trailer? Also do you have a 4cl or 6cl engine? Good video I have a 5×9 ON ORDER I have a 4 cl engine CRV hoping it can tow it.thanks
It’s a 6x8 and our outback is a 4 cylinder. It does great!
Very cool video
do the bathroom have wheel chair access
An idea to make those curtains a touch tidier, buy some wooden dowel, and cut them to match the width of the curtains. Then, fold the curtain back onto itself just enough to hold the dowel and sew it onto itself. Slip the dowel through, and when you use the bungee after you roll them up, they are nice and straight. As a nice bonus, the dowel will keep the sides from flapping about in the wind.
You could velcro the little baskets
Would you mind sending or posting a picture of your bed open and extended to see where it ends? Also link to the mattress? Loved the idea. I’m 6’2” and 215 pounds. My wife’s much smaller LOL are you on the Runaway camper owners FB page/group? Thank you. Pastor Paul Widmark
Thanks for sharing your experience in the Runaway in the winter. Stay warm. I'll probably be a lot nicer in the spring. ~Dat
Some people like to camp in winter time, they want to taste chilly cold vibes.
Hey another Virginian with a runaway R/R.. we ordered a 250w ceramic heater with a temperature setting so it cuts on and off. Think we will have to check out Suffolk. Have fun guys and congrats on the camper ;)
Keep a window slightly open to help with the condensation.
Ok thanks
After my first trip in a Runaway, I learned that I needed my mattress up off the floor. It was too hard to get back up! :)
If you want to see many many mod ideas, I have multiple videos on my channel from the Homecoming Rallies with folks sharing their tips. Be safe!
We have watched probably all of them! Great videos!!
We had a 4x8 Runaway for three years and now have the 6x8 2020 fiberglass version - actually we have the #001 model! We are now doing a Ford Transit van conversion build and UA-cam series, but we will keep our Runaway for grandkids. I have done many videos for Runaway - we are good friends with the Shives family. I think I have over 1 million views of just my Runaway videos. Have fun and be safe!
We definitely watched your awesome videos when thinking about purchasing our Runaway! Thanks for the great content! We may end up buying a van or a class c one day, so we will stay tuned to your videos! Good luck and safe travels!
Nice job so far, I love the trifold bed. You may want to have the items on the top shelf secured when towing, things move and shift around a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! We just took our first trip and surprisingly only one mat fell of the top shelf. We are still working out the kinks!
Sounds like you two are very accomplished! Love it. Nature & camping in your new runaway will be such a nice breather from all the work!
Thank you so much 😊 yes, we are so ready to get back in touch with nature!!!!
Lighting idea is super clever. It’s nice to have some ambient lighting in the camper too. We just have a little candle warmer light that acts as a nice scent thing and a light!
Thank you! I really want to fix the rope lights, ideally they would be straight hahaha. Work in progress! A scented light thing is a great idea!
Congratulations on you new Runaway camper. We just discovered your channel and are new Subs. We're looking forward to watching more of your Camping adventures. Please come by and say hi.
Thank you so much! We just subbed to your channel as well!
Wow, I love the flooring! It is so, fun see it all come together~ I'm looking forward to more videos and your first camping adventure! Awe, look at that cutie tucked in the corner chair! I see one mutt and beautiful smiles! I am looking forward to your travel adventures and gorgeous mountain views.😍💕
Thank you! Meisha loves that chair!
I noticed you hada cover for the camper. When you get a chance, could you make a video on that please?
Yes, great idea! Thank you so much!
I have a 2018 Outback, the same color. My Range Runner is supposed to be ready at the end of the month.
Awesome! We think the Outback does a great job towing the Range Runner! I hope you are able to get it soon!
We ALSO have a 2018 Outback, same color, and are in the process of ordering a RangeRunner, with pick up at XYZ. Looks like we’ll need to start an exclusive Outback/RangeRunner club haha
How much was the cost for the hitch install??
Uhaul did it for $250. Not a great experience customer service wise, but at least they did a good job!
Looking good. Great idea to use the curtains sideways.
Thank you so much! 😊 I was stressing so much about the curtains because I can’t make custom ones, but it ended up working out fine!
New subscriber! I had a Cool Camp for a short time. It was just too small for me. I think a Range Runner would of been better.
Thank you so much for subbing 😊 we are taking the range runner out next weekend, so we will see how it fits the two of us + the dogs 😅
Awesome! We are stoked for you! We love our Runaway so much 🤩
Thank you so much! We love your videos!!! 😊
@@muttsmountainsandmiles6870 We honestly can’t thank you enough for your support! More videos coming soon!
