Tour of a Low Budget Tiny Trailer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Many of us come into being nomads with very low budgets. With luck, we at least have a reliable car and maybe not much else--so what do we live in--a tent? What we need is a super cheap, super light trailer we can tow with our car so we can sleep comfortably, safely and with very little money--where can we get such a thing?

Thanks for watching!
Great business guy. Has a lot of principle. I'm a fabricator and know what it would cost to build this. Great price
Two of my favorite guys, Stephen Shives & Bob Wells. I've owned a 4x8 Navigator for over 3 years now. Been all over the place. I love this little camper.
Do you have pics to share of how you set up the inside? Would you say its big enough for 2 adults and 2 dogs
That kind of entrepreneur is what makes America!!
I love my CoolCamp XL! This is a great value for the money! Steve and his family are great to work with and produce a quality product. For anyone who just wants to go camping (not glamping) this is the real deal. I pull mine with a 2016 Chevy Impala (1,000 lb towing limit) and it tows straight, stable, and effortlessly. If you are an Android user download the ParkAdvisor app. For Apple users it is AllStays. This is really an excellent app for finding campgrounds.
We bought a RangeRunner in August 2017, couldn't be happier! We love every single thing about this little camper! We live in California and had it shipped sight unseen. Steve and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and were happy with our purchase. Great company to deal with! Highly recommend :)
I found Runaway recently as well and thought they will be my choice! You are the best out there with how to be a Nomad or live cheap! Thanks for the review!!!
Thank you
Just ordered my Runaway and got my $50 discount 👍
Can’t wait to have it delivered up to our house in Western Washington. Just in time for our first trip of the season in the PNW.
Cheers
BB

Love it! This would be a great solution for emergency evacuation during hurricane season. A clean place to sleep with AC
Admirable...I like the new Venturist, too.
This is like getting the back portion of a van to build out - I like it!
I am so liking the range runner more and more. I so want to go see one and get in it to see the size. I can definitely pay cash for one. Thank you for this video.
Nice follow-up to the tour you did with Stephanie at RTR.
Thanks, Bob & Steve! I think I can actually pull that with my Toyota! Thanks, again!
Cat Neko Kotyonok Which model, if I may ask. Engine? Have a great day.
Finally a ridged towable tent, awesome price, lightweight, sturdy, can upgrade to suit yourself, throw your gear in and go, great job...
Hey Bob, Camo Dave did a righteous bit on you. He explained how with all the things you do and have done to teach and promote the Nomadic lifestyle and all the help you have gave to others you deserve to get paid and I agree. What I really liked was how he pointed out that you are NOT an ebegger. Much admiration to you Bob.
Bingo! I love how it's so basic! My imaginations running wild!
You could furnish with Ikea bed and sofa, and storage cubes.
This will work for us!! Thanks Bob & Steve
Thanks Bob.
Nice little campers! Thanks Bob for sharing!! 😊
Excellent idea. Thanks Bob for sharing
The Wife and I just got back from Runaway Campers. I put down my deposit on a Basecamp with a/c. Getting the car ready to tow it this week, and will be picking it up the first week of next month. Can’t wait.
This guy got something here. I'm 40 miles from Ocala. I may go up there and check them out. Thanks for video Bob.
Love the light weight. Can't wait to see what options can be installed. Thanks!
Bob, a really great video. The Runaway is great! Combine a Runaway with a Cargo Van Conversion & what a great way to travel! Thanks for all you do for us-the CEO and founder of Runaway is very astute and honest about his business. He will do well.
I own one for a year,and lived in one for a summer,and plan to agian. I was excited to see Bob and Steve together. I listen to Bob while working.
Wow great video Bob you made me think about going to pick up one for me and my family it look light size and very affordable
Thanks for all the great inh
I've seen 7x12 cargo trailers on ebay with diamond metal protection on the front and all .. for about 3000$. And on those we can stand up. But this is indeed a good choice for the price no doubt.
What is the typical weight of that size cargo trailer?
Yup, they were about that size. I think I have seen their listings on ebay and it was about that price with the diamond metal "coating" on both the tires fenders and the front. Of course one has to work inside in order to adapt to everyone needs, bed, storage and whatever else is needed. But we can stand up and walk fine inside unlike this. The problem is of course more weight and a very bad aerodynamics. Those I've seen on ebay have a nose cone (triangular shape) that's better form fuel mileage due to better aerodynamics.
But even with more weight they do not compare with the heavy "competition" :) I think any car can carry those with no problem.
Please do a review of the Go Fast Campers that sell for $500-$575 new. Made in the USA. A terrific way to adapt a pickup truck or a van, SUV, or similar vehicle with roof top camping.
Awesome just what I need to do this! Need this❤️ thank you
Excellent show! Thank you!
Nicely Done Camper Trailer!
This is great for when you want to go camping but not in a tent.
Another informative video!
I wish they’d make a model with a pop top!!!!
But still a great trailer.
Those are awesome teardrop type campers. Loved seeing Stephanie's on your previous video.
Those are nice but for the same money I can get a 6x10 or 6x12 cargo trailer I can stand up in. I have a back injury that requires that I not be bent over all the time. I need to get up and move around a couple of times a night, so the little short campers won't work for me.
Old Griz
Yep, I got my hands on a 6x10 cargo trailer that I haul my motorcycles in to Enduro events, and camp in at night. I love it and yeah, it does beat sleeping in a tent! 😊 😊 😊
Good idea! These will work.
Excellent video as usual. Thanks
Those are really nice Bob. Great video.
Great guy with a great business!
Looks great
Wow that's nice , wish I knew about this before I got my bus ! Oh well I like my bus I just need to get started .
Runaway campers have really gone up in price since this video. Like everything, I guess.
Steve and his wife support pedophilia and so do you by buying that trash .. when it was brought to their attention they did nothing because and I quote "we're too busy" and also by employing one .. steve and deidre are two of the most holier than thou people I've ever known
all that support doesn't come cheap
Love the trailer
Very nice! 👍
Wonder if you could order with rain guards over each window? Any owners have a problem with rear door leaking?
They nearly doubled their price in recent times. Still looking to get one though.
Thank you for the video.
I want 1 so bad
I bought a version that slides into the back of my pickup. Called the "Slider." Good quality build and could be pulled by a 4x8 trailer as well. Not sure if they still make them.
What about tags for it. Have any idea what they will cost. Do you have to have insurance on it? Thank you
5 x 10 would be the best size.
A $ 5000 tent !. Lyfao!
That's so cheap I could haul a guest house!
Just got my van and doing the research - thanks Bob for all you do for this community. The van I have is real small so it will be a challenge to use the space wisely. Hope to do research for another few months, then do the build and then get out on the road by the end of 2019. One thing I was looking into was NOT having to have a refrigerator - and I found this website for freeze dried food - including milk, cheese, meats and veggies - figure this may help some people: www.thrivelife.com/shop
I get the concept, but 6' headroom inside (a bit more to allow insulation!l would really make it hsppen.
Are they insulated?
No they are not
So affordable!
I'm in Australia and I want a cool camp but would settle for a base camp as I would want a 230/240v Aircon anyway & fitting one wouldn't be too much of a hassle. Cant really see any results for them in Australia. Can I get one here ???
I wonder if my hybrid Hyundai Iconiq could pull one?
Great idea ... pity no pop-top ?
What’s it look like inside?
A 6x8 is sweet. Price
in 2021, it is next to impossible to find a Standy or a 6 ft wide teardrop for that matter.
I meant 6 ft tall
Living in my pickup truck. I only get 1000 each month. I can't afford to put down that much cash in order to get the discount. Still out of my budget.
what are they made out of?
Plywood and aluminum sheathing
Here in 2022 the lowest one is nearly 6k....
Very grateful for what both these great guys do.
Are they insulated?
Another need met, and another company started. Not by billionaires by honest hard working Americans whom saw the gap filled the need,and have found success without flim-flam&falderall. Thank you Bob
Made in America
Cool little campers
Robin in FL
Thank you 🙏
I am amazed of the good will and honest great value these folks are offering!
God Bless!
Forgot to mention, with a rear door, you can add a tent on for more room!
Or adapt the one from the Teardrop...goes on side or back?
Great Review of a product that really opens up Nature to almost everyone. There was a time, many years ago that this would had been the perfect rig for us. Your interview with Stephanie showed how liveable this unit can be. I also applaud your kindness during that interview.
How could anyone down-thumb an entrepreneur for starting and growing a business that fills a need?
20alphabet explain please.
anom I can explain....what a shame to trick people into thinking it is more than a empty overpriced box. For that kind of money you can get a real older rv...either a trailer or class b or truck camper...
Swisscamper Ronnie cool used rv?
Swisscamper Ronnie cool that breaks down and leaves you stranded.
Nancy Fahey If you say so 😂😂
I boondock in a Range Runner towed by a van. Solar and generator powered.
Great idea! Something like that could last the rest of your life as opposed to van or RV which might need to be replaced.
Very refreshing to see their is at least 1- Non Greedy person in the USA! Thank you Steve , I will be spending my Money with You!
I love my Runaway Camper. 👍🏻
Is it insulated?
Like the shelves and door option on yours.
Saw your interview with Bob and loved it. Love your energy and your positive outlook on life. You are a natural educator. And thank you for your service. Really, thank you.
how much they cost?
I think you literally just saved my life! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a great value, especially if you don't have the tools or skills to build your own.
What a fantastic idea and like you said fills a need!!
I seen some negative comments about "I can get a cargo trailer for the same price and can stand up" there is one thing one must understand cargo trailers are bulky and heavy empty and you need a truck to hall it. These campers are for small vehicles 4 and 6 kickers. I would buy if they have doors on both sides. I will stop buy sometime when I'm in Ocala maybe in march. The only way to know is to get in one and see if it's roomy enough to sleep two in. Thanks for posting.
It was really nice and considerate of you to tell him his unit was good for someone who couldn’t get something better? You goof
2500 is a lot of money for that. To me anyway.
Hope you’ll have an opportunity to interview Tom Cafaro at Weeroll. He also builds superior quality lightweight trailers and his models include some badass off road units and some units that you can stand in. I will be picking mine up from him in a few weeks. Mine came with insulated walls and ceiling, a white ceiling, roof vent, 2 windows, RV door, stabilizer jacks, electric, all LED, birch luan walls, diamond plate, radial tires, extended tongue, AC door to add window unit, rear barn doors for $4195.
Oh thanks for sharing
Great alternative to a tent. We don't own one of these, but we have tent camped A LOT. We got a cab-over camper for our truck now, because the dampness in a tent can cause back pain, ect. And when the people who camp next to you are a problem, you can just drive away. No hassles. Not so with a tent. When it rains tents are muddy and have to be dried out to store (mildew free) If we didn't all ready have the cab-over we would buy one of these. Gas mileage would be better and you can move about without the "fun" of have to put the tent up at every new spot. I think these are well worth considering.
One of these Suaoki 222Wh Portable Generator and a one Suaoki 100W 18V 12V Solar Panel . Now you have solar and enough power for a small setup. CPAP all night, after a sunny day.
All SJW's...Welcome to your New Home...you can Save the Planet with these I'm sure Comrades...Trump 2020
Thanks so much for posting this Bob and introducing us to this wonderful product as many of us try to figure out what rig to start out with.
Thanks Bob for posting this video. I've been on some great adventures with my RangeRunner.
Even better now, Runaways are built with NO WOOD and a shoebox lid style roof that sits over the wall panels. NO LEAKS!
Do you deliver? Cost? Oh yes what about financing? Electricity ?usb?
Very informative video, especially listening to the owner explain the different models. My biggest concern is for older people as myself and sleeping on a 4" piece of memory foam. My back just can't stand that. I wonder if there is any other option available for bedding. These campers are primarily used to sleep in and stay out of the weather and afford some type of basic security which a tent does not give. I like the luggage rack option that one can attach an awning to that gives shade and a place to sit to view the campsite and scenery. Will weigh the options and look into purchasing one of these units.
Wish they would of showed build, insulation, materials chosen and why and showcase some of the options
This guy does a good tour of the factory and building process. I don't think they're insulated tho.

That's the 1 draw back about runaways. Not insulated
@@shanester8712
Should be fairly easy to add insulation then add walls and floor.
Unfortunately they're increased prices after this video has gone up :(. They put in a little bit of my price range now
Seems like these guys have a really great business going.Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bob, Great video. There are a couple of other manufacturers that are offering great value as well. One in in Florida called the "Tiny Camper Company" . The other one is in SC. called "Rustic Trails teardrops". Both company's offer great value for their products. Their trailers are very reasonably priced for those on low income. Thanks again
How well are these trailers holding up? I'm curious how durable something so light is actually going to be going down the rough roads.
They are very well built and hold up wonderfully❗️
