- Join us, Honey, I Roam, as we buy our new Runaway Camper, a tiny 6 feet by 8 feet camper. We go over step-by-step the modifications we did to our tiny camper to make it feel like our home. We also visit the Runaway Camper offices located in Ocala, Florida.

Everything that you did, looks great! I love all colors and the curtains. You two are great to watch, because you always looks so happy and work together so well. I just love it, because it does make my day!!!💕😍🏕
Thank you sooo much for your kind words! It’s been almost ten months since we found our lil tiny camper and we are so happy we made the purchase. We are still loving our curtains and the decor. Since then, we’ve upgraded the a/c and added some more touches + modified our setup just to our liking. And you have now made our day, Dee!
I watched this again years later, and it occurs to me that your colors must have penetrated my subconscious. When I bought my own tiny camper last year, I used very similar colors without even thinking about it.
We love that so much! The colors must’ve resonated with you as much as they did with us and I bet your tiny camper looks so adorable!
We have had ours for 5 years it changed our lives. We have seen the country in it
That’s the dream! I can imagine it being life changing- same for us, we have had it for only 3 and what an adventure it’s been! We enjoy your channel! Great videos
I love this 💑 couple , they show some great videos and nothing is ever boring .
Thanks for sharing 👌
Thanks Ted! Means the world to us. we've had such a fun UA-cam & camping journey in life and we are grateful to be able to share it with yall.
Love it what a awesome little camper and love what you did to it. Happy travels!
Thank you 😊 it’s made camping a lot easier!
Nice job making it your own. I hope you have many happy trips in it.
We love love love it!!! Thank you
That camper is dope It is definitely a game changer!!! It opens a bunch of different possibilities! I am happy for you guys I love the little bit of color that you guys added already and you guys have already made it seem like home!!
Thank you so much! We had a blast doing the modifications, super fun. We have been traveling with it for the past 3 weeks now and it makes camping so much easier! Simpler set up and clean up!!!
I just retired (in California) and have been looking at these for a while now. Thanks for the video ladies. Appreciate your attention to detail and look forward to more videos from you. Happy travels!!
Thanks Jim! We appreciate you following along on our journey. We love our Runaway, we have been living in it the last two months while we camp (currently in Florida) and it has been a blast! I recommend it!
Love what you gals have done to your roam away! Wishing you and Winston many happy adventures!
Thank you! We love our Roamaway Runaway Camper! We truly appreciate you watching our videos! We have a blast creating them :) P.S. Winston says hiii!
Love the color choices! Kudos to Amber's mom for doing a great job with the curtains and backdrop.
Thank you so much! Amber‘s mom really is so talented!
Good job, looks great!! One little tip to prevent leaks around the air conditioner...a slight slant toward the tongue to let water run off and make sure the drip hole under the air conditioner is not plugged.
That is fantastic advice! Thank you so much!
That is awesome!!! I love how you made it your own.
Thanks! We love our lil camper
Hi Ladies! So nice to meet & talk to you both in the TGMaxx parking lot on Saturday. I really like your improvements & plan to make some of our own after the holidays. Say hi to Winston for us:) Travel on! Vivi & Bob
We absolutely loved chatting with you and Bob! You two are awesome and we hope to see you out on the road one day! Winston can’t wait to meet you! Thank you so much for your support and for subscribing!
Fun!!! I love what you did to make this YOURS!
It has been a fun journey! We are taking it to South Florida right now! Thanks for watching!
“Oh my gosh, it’s still going straight.” 🤣 This is great! Subscribed.

Really enjoyed your video and the information shared. Keep smiling !! The two of you are fantastic !! 🌱👍🌍❤
We are so glad you watched our video and found it so helpful! Thank you for all of your support and we promise to keep more adventures coming your way ☀️
Loved to watch your video from Canada and placed it on my Facebook Group
Awesome! Thank you!
That is one of the things that is great about the Tiny Campers you have more camp sites available to you RV or Tent The best of both worlds
SPOT ON! We love the freedom our tiny camper gives us!
Congrats on your runaway camper. Y'all did a fantastic job making it your own.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We had a great time setting it up
Ya done good! Those Runaways and Hikers are about the best values in a good quality camper out there. The Runaway gatherings and huge variety of mods people show are almost worth it by themselves.
Thanks for checking out the video, we agree, runaways are a great values especially since we don’t have to buy a truck!
You guys did so much to that lil camper! So inspiring makes me wanna get one!
I’ll buy you one one day and we can meet up and camp together in the woods and among the red rocks!
Do it!
Very nice job on the camper. The campsite and park look beautiful.
thank you :) we love love juniper springs.
You guys are the greatest. Love your videos. TKS S
Thank you! We are having a blast!
Ladies making big moves!!!
Oh yeah camping queens!!!
Love what u ladies did with your new baby to make it your own! CONGRATS!!🎈🍾🎊🎉👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much, Bobby! It has taken a while to get everything perfectly comfortable, and it’s been a fun process!
Really cool to have a separate area for sleeping. So much flexibility. Nice to find your backstory. Enjoying your adventures
Transparency is key in this journey, and thank you so much for your support! We will continue to bring more life content into our videos.
Just bought my first runway camper it’s much smaller than yours thou but thank you for posting this very inspirational! I’m excited to customize mine :)
No way! You have so many of adventures ahead of you! We are so thankful we could inspire you! Thanks for being on this journey with us!
I just ordered my runaway. Can’t wait to customize mine too
SO EXCITING! Can't wait to see what you do with yours!
Thanks. The BF and I are ready to start exploring more. So happy to see more LGBT+ people sharing their adventures
We love our Runaway RangeRunner!
Awesome! We absolutely love ours too!
Here I am again, 3am watching tiny camper videos. I have 4 young kids. Why do I want one so bad?!
it's a strong pull, we understand. i remember when we were on the search for our camper, it was a constant drive to get our favorite one! luckily, it happened. thank you for roaming along with us!!
You say “breathing in all those paint fumes” liked it was a bad thing 😳🤣
HAHHA
You ladies, have done a nice job , wish you both happy camping !!!
thank you!! and the same to you! we've done a lot of work on the camper since we posted this video, please check out our recent videos to see some new stuff :)
@@honeyiroam i have been catching up on most of them, I will continue to watch,u both r doing a great job. Keep up the great work!!
Love your video
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Looks Awesome! Piece of advice, put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel with your thumb pointed out and while backing us your thumb to point the direction you want the trailer to go! Looking forward to picking one of these up in the future! Enjoy Y'all!
Thanks for the tip! That is VERY useful info :) We can't wait to hear what you do with your tiny camper when you get it! Thanks for following our adventures!
I know the new runaways are lighter and tougher, but yours just looks so much cozier.
New to your channel!! We are from Florida and have been a weekend camping family for years going to the same 3 places over and over 🤦🏼♀️ we have been looking for something new to do with are kiddos we love the places y’all go to and y’all have gave us some cool new places to try out...💜🥰 Thank you can’t wait to see where y’all go next.
YAY! we are so glad you found honey, I roam! as you can see, we love to camp and we go to sooo many family-friendly camping spots. let us know where you go camping next! we'd love to hear from y'all. keep on roamin' 🌴✌🏼❤️
Genial la unión de vehìculo y rodante. Nada como personalizarla a gusto de uno. Que la disfruten.
Thank you! Since the Jeep only pulls 1000 pounds, it was the only camper we could get and it really worked for us for a long time.
This was the first time that I came across your channel. I love how y'all found that camper and made it y'alls by fixing the problems, painting it and making the curtains and backdrop. Y'all did an AWSOME job.
I wish those campers would have been available back in the days when my partner and I use to camp. I see this video and wish I could go back in time about 20 years ago. 😏 But hey, I'll just roam with you guys and pretend that I'm there also.
I hope y'all have many happy years with y'alls AWSOME camper. Keep making these great videos. I'm watching it for the second time and I love it even more plus now that I subscribe I can make comments. I love me some Winston.🐶💕 He is adorable. Stay safe.
And Winston loves you! He is a fan of cool peeps. Thanks for roaming along with us, it means a lot that you have subscribed and enjoy our channel. It’s what makes us happiest. I know, the tiny camper is such a simple concept, crazy they didn’t think of it before! See ya next video. Also, we do a live chat on our Facebook and Instagram every Saturday before our videos drop (11:45am eastern time). You’re welcome to stop by there and chat with us. Winston is a regular on the live chat lol!
I would love to chat with you guys and Mr Winston. Lol. 😉🐶
Ran into your channel looking for runaway campers vids. I have a Jeep Renegade and need something lightweight also. You guys are amazing and Winston is the cutest. Thanks for sharing.
We are so glad you came across our channel and have been enjoying our videos! Yes, the runaway is perfect for vehicles with a low two capacity. We are having so much fun and we are glad it shows! Winston says hi 😀 p.s. We have a video coming out soon about the whole tiny camper purchase & how-to process 😄
We are so glad you found our channel and are having fun watching our videos! Yes, the runaway is perfect for vehicles with a low tow capacity. We are having so much fun with everything and we are glad it shows. Winston says hello! P.S. we have a video coming out soon about purchasing a tiny camper and all of the how to’s.
love the little dog, we have a chawinnie, named winston. they could be twins. great job on the camper, be safe and enjoy your travels.
thanks Kenneth! sounds like our dogs are twins. dogs are the bestest of companions. hope you're well and thanks for stopping by our channel
Cool video. It's now Starting at $7,645 with 8 months wait time. I paid $6,500 for a "brand new" used one last month from a seller that never took it camping at all after they got it delivered. There is no longer have a California location. The newer ones are made of strong plastic and fiberglass to avoid wood rot over time. I wish the previous owner opted for the rear door, but as you said, they go fast if they are on marketplace.
Awesome, congrats on your new tiny camper!
good vid
Thank you! we have since sold our tiny camper but it gave us lots of fun memories. now we travel and live in a cabover truck camper
The back splash is awesome 🤩…
Girls you are such an inspiration. My partner and I bought a small camper similar to yours two years ago we have only use it 3 times. I was going to sell it this summer 😍but now I think I will keep it. My biggest fear is backing up 😰 even with my utility trailer I have not being able to do it straight 😣.
You girls are awesome ! Please do a QnA. Would like to know more about you.
You are SO kind! We absolutely love our backsplash! It is Styrofoam underneath so we can use it as a bulletin board to hang things. We feel so honored to inspire you both! Can’t wait to hear where you go on your next trip!
Awesome! Happy travels guys!
Thank you for checking out our video :)
I bought a hiker 5x8.to tow with my 2015 Patriot. What size is your runway? What bed ideas do you have? I'm kinda torn on this idea. Also fo you have 2 doors?
Our Runaway is 6x8. We upgraded to a 10 inch queen size memory foam mattress and cut off 10 inches of length so it will fit. Then we use the cut off portion as a back rest. It’s perfect! Yes, 2 doors.
Possibly others have given you this tip, but backing a trailer is made much easier if you position your hands on the bottom of your steering wheel. That way, when you turn left or right, the trailer turns the same direction. No need to constantly think in the opposite direction. 😎
such a great tip! thanks for sharing :)
New to your channel and love it thank you for sharing
Thank you!! We appreciate the love
Yeah really want to give me some advice how to start a fire
@@suzzylouloudougherty5237 Starting a fire takes practice! But you can always get a starter log to get the party started sooner LOL
My friend and I went to Fort Desoto a couple of couple of days ago have a great time was a lot of work though. Fire was constantly going wish I could show you some pictures and I made the best food I'll be back I don't even care if I go by myself it's just good to get away
@@suzzylouloudougherty5237 we are so proud of your fire skills! And I bet your food was delicious! You can add us on Facebook or Instagram and we can check out your photos. We would love to see your adventures 😀
Been looking at the size/brand of camper for awhile. Do y’all sleep side to side? Is it comfortable? How tall are you if ya don’t mind me asking. I’m 5’8” and my wife is about 5’3”.
We sleep side-by-side on a 10 inch memory foam queen size bed. We had to cut 6 inches off of it height-wise to make it fit perfectly in the camper. We are both 5’8’’. I think you can see in this thumbnail picture that the bed goes with wine in the camper and it actually works absolutely perfectly for us! If we were any taller, it might not.
FYI; Did you check the black stuff on the base of the paneling behind the moldings wasn’t mold? It looked like it might be..... check it plz.
thanks so much! that's super important!
Thanks for the campfire money!!
✌🏽nothin like a good campfire!
My wife Melinda and I just picked up our Runaway Range Runner in November at a dealer in Cleveland TN and we love it. Our next trip will be to the Runaway Homecoming in the middle of February. We live in southeast Iowa so it will be a nice winter getaway. Are you planning on being at this year’s Runaway Homecoming? If so we hope to see you there. Steven & Melinda, Fairfield Iowa.
Thanks for watching!! We love connecting with other runaway owners. I WISH we could go to the runaway homecoming but family duties will keep us from joining in this year 🙁. Just know, the weather today where we are in Florida is 75 with a lovely breeze. Enjoy your getaway in your runaway! Safe travels, honey I roam
You have water leaking/ incursion around your AC unit. Deal with that quickly even if you have to go back to Runaway. But maybe you saw that.
yes thank you for noticing! We had that all caulked and have tested run the a/c for a month with no more issues. appreciate it
Its lovely traller good work done u girls very nice me from fiji island.
Thank you soo much! We had such a great time with it
Hopefully one day we will make it to Fiji! Lucky you
Geeeezz...that's your MOM?! She looks as young as you guys. LOL...cute trailer.
Thanks Connie!! She is a flawless mom!
Didn't d you ever have to manually move your runaway? If so how did you do it
occassionallly! that's the nice part about towing something so light. if you're in a pickle, you can just manually move it around. but we rarely had to do that!
We should get you two decorated our camper
thanks! maybe we should make it our new jobs lol
How did it get all the water damage, I was ready to buy one, now I’m kinda concerned about the water damage problems you had to fix.
The water damage that we saw was already there when we purchased it used. We’re honestly not sure exactly how it happened, so we got our camper resealed.
Woot woot
HECK YES
Hello from West Virginia. My wife Jody and I are really excited to be getting a Range Runner to pull with our 2015 Jeep Patriot. I have some questions that I hope you can help us with since you have the same tow vehicle we do. The main concern is how much does your Range Roamer weigh when you have it fully loaded and how does your Patriot perform when pulling it fully loaded. Our camper will be outfitted with an off grid solar power system as well as some other creature comforts to support our Amateur Radio Hobby, specifically our interest in a thing called Parks On The Air. Jody and I think the Range Runner / Patriot will work well for us and you guys have the closest setup that we are planning and any guidance you can give us would be appreciated. Happy Travels!
please check out our recent video, tiny camper setup. we show you our cargo load & what we usually pack with us. the jeep performs great, we have driven the camper 1000s of miles and haven't had an issue towing. we usually go slow, about 60-65, 70 at most and on occasion. I also purchased a curt rocker ball hitch, it cuts down on metal hitch noise & force on the brakes and suspension when accelerating & braking. amzn.to/3drBAwo
most importantly, have fun roamin'!!!
@@honeyiroam Wow, you ladies have quite the set up and it's really impressive how you have everything organized. I did pick up on your 2" hitch receiver that is the way to go and I'm still shopping around locally to get the hitch installed on our Patriot. I highly recommend you get a solar panel to charge your power box with, it's free energy and that's always a good thing. Jody and I just started our own channel so surf for "The Wilderness Park Hunters" so please check it out. As we move forward in our camping and amateur radio operations we will be posting more videos. Today we pitched our old tent and decided the mini camper will be a better fit for us. Thank you for replying so quickly and you two ladies keep on roaming.
When backing up the camper, put your hand on the BOTTOM of the steering wheel then move your hand in the direction you want the camper to go when looking in the mirror :)
If you look in the mirror & you want the camper to steer to the drivers side, with hand at the bottom of the steering wheel, move you hand to the drivers side & the camper will follow.
That is so helpful! Thank you for that advice! We are learning every day 😊
Ahh, nice job! Love your dog. What breed is he? I need a new best friend. Thank you for sharing and be safe.
isn't he so dang cute?! we love our boy. we rescued him when he was a year old and they told us he is a papillon/chihuhua mix.
@@honeyiroam so cute.
What year camper? Looks great!
2015 and thank you! we love her, hope you catch some of our more recent videos, we've been travelling all over and have even taken care of some much needed upgrades
I didn’t think that they had leaking issues? Did the seller disclose the issue?
hi there! unfortunately, all campers have the potential to leak. we have learned this the hard way! that's why routine maintenance is key!
No wonder they put base boards in that thing. Rotted and molding walls. We owned one and had the same problem.
We cleaned her up and now she is smelling better than ever!
❤
Maaan... Even a Corolla can pull 1800+lb... WOW!
P.s. nice outfitting.
Right!!!! I was so disappointed when I saw that a Jeep Patriot could only pull 1000. But saying this 2 months later, and many rides, it pulls the rangerunner like a champ
@@honeyiroam - oh well that's good. I think tow ratings may possibly also have a generic amount of wind resistance factored into their weights & if you really don't have any wind resistance like with runaways & small teardrop then it's ok to go over. Going for long periods up certain gradients with that max weight would probably be factored into it as well so people in general would be wise to stick under the rating while still in warranty.
Your mom is beautiful
thanks Thomas! she said that is very kind of you
When you took it to the factiry they should have checked for leaks under the camper and recaulked the inside. I would rather not have baseboards until I knew there were no leaks. If i decide to buy new i will ask questions and want to inspect progress through the build. I believe they are a repital company but hired workers can ruin it for the company, if shotty work being done. 73
How much that runaways camper please
it depends! you. can see their pricing on runaway.com. we bougt this used so we ended up getting a good deal. check out our video ua-cam.com/video/glW-Ezp59pk/v-deo.html for more info on traveling with a tiny camper
Water damage, on a new camper? W Mold? I don't think you wan be inhaling that stuff.
We did lots of cleanup on it. And it wasn’t new when we got it. It’s feeling very fresh! Thanks for your concern and for watching!
Is it me, or is it them? Every 2 minutes I'm waiting for them to make out
Hey Ladies I stumbled across your video today. I know it's a 11/3/2020 video you 2 are cool as f#@* you both remind me of my aunt Paulette & her girlfrind lol we all are from Orlando FL.
