    Neat ideas! I have been looking into a Runaway Rouser...same floor space/footprint, but tall enough to stand in. But your set up does spark a lot of ideas!

    • @iamcraiggentry
      @iamcraiggentry  Před 13 dny

      We considered a Rouser! We ended up selling the camper and getting a van we can stand in instead. Enjoy your camping!

Ordering my 6x8 this week.... it’s been almost a year in the planning( plus I needed to sell a big S.O.B😉).... now that’s done I’m so excited for the freedom of a small lightweight DIY-able trailer! You give me great ideas. Hope you and your wife have many happy adventures, maybe I’ll see ya out there.

    Looks great! I think we’ll build out our beds like yours, but after our first trip next month to Cades Cove.
    That wallpaper is awesome!
    We got our tent mounted on top (opening off the back) for the kid, awnings on either side and each awning has the room.
    I have a similar rack, and 3 totes facing front to back, but they’re getting old and brittle. I thought about replacing with Plano or Actionopackers.
    Oh, the rear hitch - I added a full size spare and used the hitch to mount it, that lets me run a bag like a Trasharoo which holds our porta potty and other junk.

  • @phillipvines4269
    @phillipvines4269 Před rokem +1

    Nice set up. We get to use ours again in a couple of weeks in Tennessee. We didn't go with the awning, we got the room tent from Pahaque. It has a door opening with elastic to seal around the door and the wall is fitted to go over the fender. I got some storage nets for the doors. It gives you a lot more storage area. Good luck on your trip.

    Now that you have had it a while, is there anything that you could have done differently? I have an older “knock off” camper and I am considering upgrading to the new composite Runaway. I would like to add a rear door (also easy access to under the platform bed). We are a family of 3 - so also exploring a roof top tent with the new camper. Currently using a Kamp-Rite camp cot which works fine

    • @iamcraiggentry
      @iamcraiggentry  Před 2 měsíci

      We actually sold it last year and converted a van. Not really anything I would have done differently. We didn't need a rear door but the back window was great. I sold my roof top tent too. The van is just undefeated. It's easier and better than everything, they're just expensive. I made some good money by selling the camper and rtt so it made for a nice down payment.

      A bit snarky, don’t you think?🤔 Just to expand the possibility of seeing more potential for this 6 x 8 versatile camper, check out an “L” Configuration where one bed runs the length in the back of the trailer accessible with a rear door and another bed attached to it that runs the length of the opposite wall that is on the side of the air conditioner. Here is a channel where a couple shows in their trailer how it can look.. Runaway And Seemor3. Happy trails!

    I understand there are no water tanks in here, just to ask, is there a receptacle for your portable battery, to power up your devices, like a 30amp shore power service for this? I am interested in this, for my hiking alone in the forest...

    • @iamcraiggentry
      @iamcraiggentry  Před 5 dny

      It does have shore power but it's a standard 15amp household electrical cord outlet, not 30amp. It powers the air conditioner and two power strips inside, it comes like that from the factory.

    • @iamcraiggentry
      @iamcraiggentry  Před 11 měsíci +2

      I always do cold brew if I make coffee. I go out for hot coffee. It's a small space so be very careful. I'd recommend an induction cooktop instead of a propane one, I wouldn't want an open flame inside.
