We are happy we met you along the way at the runaway rally but we understand it’s time to move on. Thanks for all the folks along the way you sent to our channel. You have passed us in subscribers. Vary interested in your truck camper. It was never on our radar until we spent this summer in Alaska who knows what our future holds. You never know our paths may cross again. Blessings and safety for the journey.
Y’all are so sweet! We feel so blessed to know the three of you! You are definitely inspirations for us! This new truck camper adventure is definitely an exciting one! We surely hope our paths cross again! Sending you lots of love, XOXO
I know it’s a good thing but I still had tears at the sight of your tiny camper driving away 🥲but on to better and memorable adventures! Love you two and Winston ❤
Aww we definitely did too! This was the end of an era. We are so excited for all the future holds, though that our tears have dried 💜
It seams like Winston approves of the bed 😂… love you girls 😢sad to see the tinny camper go but super exited about new adventure 🥸😎🤓
Winston is obsessed! He has adjusted really quickly lol it’s always hard to open a new chapter, but always worth it!
I can't wait until you fix up the camper to your taste and needs. It is nice being able to be in a/c or heat when the weather gets ugly. I have to admit I did get choked up when I saw her drive away with the Runaway. Susan, good luck and many happy trails!
We have so many cool ideas and we will be asking for your opinions on our renovations! We were definitely sad when our tiny camper left, but so excited for all the future holds! Thanks for watching, as always, Rose!
Wow! Wow! wow! So happy for you both. What a cool truck camper. It looks brand new. Looks like you guys found a Gem. Yes, it is bitter sweet to see the Runaway leaving the campsite. But so cool there will be new adventures awaiting Susan. She will Love having a Runaway. I can’t tell you how moved I am by your video. I just love how you guys work so hard and appreciate what you have, love watching you clean and fix up your new digs. Even though I own a Runaway I have always felt it is a stepping stone to something larger. When that day comes I hope to find a nice camper as you have. Looking forward to your future videos in your new digs. Keep the good times coming. DP in MD
Thank you so much, Dan! We appreciate your support so much! Susan said she is loving it. And we are so happy to have upgraded! It’s been so fun, remodeling it. Way more challenging than we thought, but isn’t that how it always goes 😊
Packing cubes are great for your clothes storage in the cabinets
Former Runaway owner and upgraded to a travel trailer. Keep in mind the upper cabinet are secure but the material they are secured to isn’t very thick. Good rule is light stuff in upper cabinets and heavy stuff in lower cabinets. That will also help a bit with a top heavy truck camper. Clean the filters often in the AC. They seem to get dirtier faster that the window type units. Love your upgraded house!
Love those tips! We agree 1 million %! Love that you are doing what's best for you too :)
I love these people. They inspire me. I can't wait to someday be free & travel with my dogs & cat everywhere around the country.
Hi Arturo! thanks for saying this. means a lot to us. we can't wait for you to be able to travel around with your dog too
@@honeyiroam Lol Awhhhhhh WOW! Thank you so much for for even noticing my comment. I honestly didn't think anyone would even notice my comment much less you guys & respond. That is so awesome. You guys really do inspire me & cause of your fist video I watched a few months ago by accident I have been saving my money from my second job at a gas station in LasVegas to someday buy myself a nice camper & hit the road with my dogs.
Awesome 👍 l love beer.. Your video is cool.. Love the little dog!
Congratulations to you both and also to Susan!
Thank you so much, Beth!
Your camper was made the year I graduated high school! Lol We currently have a mint condition 1983 motorhome. Excited to see what you do with your new camper!
Oh my gosh, I bet your vintage motorhome is absolutely beautiful! We are really excited about the upgrades that we have planned! Thanks so much for watching, Katie!
This is a little bittersweet since I only found this channel by looking for Runaway campers. But I also look forward to seeing what changes are in store for the truck camper.
Thank you so much for being on this journey with us, Robert! We are so excited for this new chapter, and happy to have you along with us!
Sad day but exciting for your future travels!
So happy for you guys!! Love the new camper! Can't wait to see how you make it yours! Marty from T or C.
You inspired so many of us! Thanks for sharing all your adventures. Will continue watching. Use your new a little bigger camper in good health, happiness and prosperity. Be well StaY safe and hope to see you all the road! BTW. WE ARE DRIVING BACK FROM RUNAWAY CAMPERS with our new Rouser!👩❤️👨🐩
Congratulations! Please keep us posted on your adventures and some of your favorite spots. Thank you for your kind words, means the world to us
we have bins that are just a fraction shorter than the opening of the cabinets and we use those over the dinette and over the stove. I wrote with a permanent marker what is in the bins. Makes it easy cuz I can pull them out and they hold enough stuff. I'm not a fan of using any propane unless I am awake including the heater which gets quite warm. We have an oscillating small heater that we put on the kitchen counter for when we have electricity. We use a super duper warm sleeping bag over us at night and we don't need a heater if we don't have electricity but yeah it's kind of cold when you have to get up. When boondocking a few times I just turn the refrigerator off at night and everything was still cold in the morning and then we just turned the propane back on. When I take a shower I sit on the toilet seat cover. The shower head should have a dial on it so you can turn it off while you're washing up with soap to save on water and your gray tank
Loving all of your suggestions! Thank you so much!
Yay!!!! So happy for you
Congratulations! It's sad to see the Runaway go, since that's why I started watching your channel. Love the new (to you) truck camper, and I'm excited for all of the things it makes possible for you!
Aww yes. It was time for change! Glad you found us and are excited for this new chapter :)
You can go on Amazon and get magnets then get your double side tape and put on them also there is slip mats so you can get them to put down on there to where your things like pots and pans won't slide out and of course you know the locks for the cabinets you know all that looks nice I know you're going to be happier in that than you was the other one cuz you can actually stand up in it all right ladies have a great day give Winston a hug for me
Love those ideas! Thank you so much! Winston gives a hug back!
I’m so happy for the two of you with your new used camper. ,I know when you get completely settled it’s going to look like a cozy little tiny house. Just think know you can standup when getting dressed or changing clothes. Be careful, Stay safe, and keep on rolling. Hugs and head pats to Winston.
You are totally right! Standing up indoors is a dream!
Congrats Susan 👏 great adventures and new memories ❤️ .
Excited about the new camper guys.
Thank you!! 😃😃😃
Okay I'm totally jealous the slide-in looks amazing! Can't wait to see what you guys do with it! And congratulations Susan!!
Thanks! The Runaway looks great in my driveway-adventures await.
I’m excited to watch the journey! Heavy duty Velcro might be part of the holding things in place solution. Oh, and packing cubes for your clothes. 😊
You guys are so awesome, enjoy your new home
Congratulations ladies
Awesome job
You both will love that big truck camper over the tiny camper. Tiny campers are great but the truck camper. If you’re living full-time in it is just way more room. It’s just a better life for you and you’d be surprised where you can park that thing that happened to have a trailer towed around all the time but it looks like you’ll be towing a golf cart behind it. Is that your golf cart if you can if you’re going to Tow a trailer behind it get an in motion camera for the back of your camper with a screen for your dash inside the truck
We are overly excited about our additional space! The golf cart was ours to use while we were at the campground. How cool would it be to have our own though!
Congrats Susan it looks good on ya. Another exciting chapter for yal'll. Have a blast.
Thx! I knew I bought that truck for a reason!
haha an 8 foot truck bed = truck campppper :)
Bye Runaway! Good luck Susan! Have fun!
I’m looking forward to having ALL the fun!
So happy for you two!!! Excited to see your new adventures...and remodeling
I’m so excited for you both and can’t wait to see how you make it your own!
Good stuff..
Amazing❤
Great job!!🙂🙃😉
I want both. Two bedrooms. Add a rooftop tent to the trailer. Three bedrooms.
Haha love it ! Great idea
Congratulations on your truck & camper set up. Can't wait to see where your new adventures take us.Stay safe😎
Thank you so much, Diane! You are on this journey with us!
Bitter sweet. I can't wait to see what your new adventures bring. Congrats ladies.
Thank you Lori!
I cried when my RR rolled down my driveway, but like you, time to move on. Truthfully, I miss it! Enjoyed the video, cannot wait to see videos on truck camping!
Hi Jessy! We do love that runaway and are super happy we have so much footage/documented memories with it. What are you currently traveling in?
Not gonna lie- I got emotional taking the keys!
Buy the small bins from dollar tree... Locker bins and bins with handles... They will make your life spook much easier
Also, Giulietta next time you're at a Natural Food/Heath store pic up a bottle of Emu oil. It is the best I have ever used on burns even the most extreme ones. It is small and will fit in your first aid kit!
Whatttt?! Never ever heard of that! We will definitely see if we can get some!
Can’t wait for your new adventures, I have a small TC but only go locally! Enjoy a safe stay safe!
Thank you so much, Williams! We are so thankful to have you on this journey with us!
OMG, so much here! Love the transitioning to your truck camper! So sad to see your sweet tiny go home with Susan, but she did look great with her set-up! Have fun renovating! I cannot wait to see more. Have a great weekend!🎉❤ Sweet to see Winston learn his new stairs.
Awww - I’m super stoked about upcoming adventures! All I need to add are my kayak and bicycle!
YESSS!!! So excited for you! Loved visiting with ya!
Winston is THRIVING in the truck camper! It was bittersweet but more sweet than bitter :)
Whoop whoop, congrats 🍾
Thank you!!! So stoked to have this new tiny home
Cloth bins. And don't forget you have the whole backseat for a garage. If you would have kept your tailgate you could have had a small porch area. Sitting on the tailgate in the morning and evening sunsets.
I'm so excited for you to be able to stand up, and have a bathroom, and running water! And, a whole new space to decorate! Congrats to Susan, and many happy travels ahead for you!
woo hoo! It's happening!
How exciting!! I love that Suzan is a Honey too!! You ladies have warmed the hearts of so many people! It’s fantastic to see this full circle moment!
Thanks for saying that Shannon! We really are grateful for all of y’all!
Congratulations Susan, may you have many adventures🥰🌻
Honeys it looks like Winston found his bed, 🐾 where are yinz gals sleeping? 😂lol
Thanks! My next chapter will be super exciting!
Haha thankfully, Winston shares with us!
Looks good on ya SUSAN! Excited to know you have so many great adventures ahead ❤
It truly does! We miss our tiny camper but sooo happy it's in good hands. many fun times ahead for Susan
With the Runaway gone to a new owner, it's like part of the family is not with us anymore! Best wishes to Susan on her new adventures with the trailer. Love your "new" setup and wish for the two of you many happy moments together with it. Very nice unit.
So far my adventures mostly consist of introducing my dogs to their vacation home! Looking forward to trips a bit farther away soon!
It was bittersweet to see her go, but it was time for a change. We are super happy with our truck camper and can’t wait to have you along for the journey! Hope you are doing great!
Oh your new rig looks good and that was great episode
Aw thank you! Giulietta rocks at creating these videos, I gotta say :)
Out with the old in with the new. It looks like a great camper..
That’s exactly right! Thank you so much, Stephanie!
Looks good on you, Susan!!!
Aw, thanks! I'm really excited for my (and the Runaway's) next chapter!
Love being one of your 'honeys'
We can’t love this comment enough!
How sweet! Gald that the Runaway Camper went to a good home.
I made new curtains and have bought soooo much stuff for the Runaway to make it nice and cozy!
Yes Susan!! omg this episode made me cry!! I'm so proud of yall! You guys make such big moves and take chances that are so big and intimidating. I love to see you girls inspire so many people (myself included!!).
I might have had some feels myself during the handoff! Looking forward running away in the Runaway!
Looks good on you Susan!
the Runaway and I are getting to know each other!
Congratulations to you and Susan! I can't wait to see more of your mods to the truck camper!
Thank you! Excited to share it all with you
I feel so lucky! Glad to have this opportunity to adopt the Runaway!
Congratulations on the new camper! I just went full time a few weeks ago. Watching all your videos and how much you both enjoy it made it that much easier for me to make the jump.
Congrats to you! How exciting. Where are you currently traveling/exploring?
@@honeyiroam Omaha NE this week, on my way to SD to get my drivers license and registration switched over. After that, I have no idea other than South to beat the cold. AZ or TX maybe.
So excited for you guys! I bet you'll have great adventures in your truck camper. I've been seriously thinking about trading in my camper van for a truck camper. Well done to you both. Safe travels!!
You can do anything you put your mind to! We are really happy with our decision, and so excited to hit the road!
I started watching you because I have the same camper.
I understand why you upgraded.
Yet I'm sad you got rid of it.
I promise to love and care for the Runaway!
Congrats! I am parting with my beloved Runaway Cool Camp soon, as well. Upgrading to a conversion van. I have been tempted to pull the Runaway with the van but it is time to let it go. Great little camper.
That’s also exciting! You have so many incredible adventures ahead! Do whatever feels right and our advise that you don’t need as much stuff as you think you do.
Looks good on ya Susan! Go have some fun!!!!!
we think so too! So happy our little camper went to such a cool lady!
About to take her to a local campsite this weekend! Wish me (and Wilma the Dog) luck! :)
Congrats!! Shoeboxes will help with storage in the camper, but the boxes in the drawers and cabinets!!
Love, love, loving these ideas, Ms. Kondo!
In case you don’t have one… Make sure you have a surge protector for your electrical system.
We will definitely add that to our list! Thank you, Nora!
End of a chapter, but the new chapter gets even better.
You are so sweet! This new chapter is incredible already, and we can’t wait to share it all with you! a composting toilet would be really cool!
Ladies try a small bin cloth u get get them at Walmart and u can organize your clothes and underware
Stepping up
Yesss!!!
You can fit little pieces of carpet on those stairs for Winston or thick rubber so it would be easier to clean! might feel better on his feet haha
1
Winston would love that! He is honestly gotten so good at jumping all the way from the ground, but that’s not a long-term solution. He is just brave lol.
While I'm sad to see the Runaway "run off" under new management (congrats to Susan); for what you both are doing a larger camper was in your future. One thing though, I was hoping to meet you both at the upcoming Runaway reunion next year.
Ray
New manager here: I promise to take good care of the Runaway!
Aww what an exciting transition it is! I wish all were welcome there, but that's how it is. Would love to meet ya sometime!
I heard Lance truck camper is the best brand. You got it with a great deal.
We were really excited to find it! We looked at so many homemade truck campers, but we definitely are glad we went with Lance!
A girl's good job got a beautiful dog named Winston
Might want to put some sort of outdoor carpet on those steps so Winston doesn’t catch his little nails in the grate. 😎🌹
Thanks for thinking of our Winnie boy! That’s so sweet. We actually have gotten rid of those stairs and want to have something lighter to travel with. Currently we have a hitch step and we just pick him up to get him
In and out
Goon on ya Susan! I’m jealous.
Feeling very blessed/lucky/happy/excited to have adopted the Runaway !
We are so happy that our tiny camper moved on to someone else who loves her very much!
Newly Updated Safety Suggestions;
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
Although, I just noticed your TH-cam channel, and other similar channels.
You seem Very Aware of your surroundings and Alert, and you may be aware of many of these suggestions, however, I Don’t know, so I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc...
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others TH-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with another traveler as I watched their TH-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.
Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience.
Although, you may have knowledge of this already,
I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone.
*Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle.
You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage
Do your research for the best fit for you
Carry Several Extra portable phone chargers, and cables.
Consider theses items:
*Mini portable power charging station.
I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices.
*Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception.
Research to see what you prefer.
*Very Inportant:
Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location.
There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating or camping situations.
*Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders.
Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone.
You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you.
*Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
*vehicle battery jumper cables
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
*Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly.
Exterior vehicle cameras
Interior vehicle cameras
*Flashlights or pluggin spotlights
*Portable spotlights, and lanterns
Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies.
Use your own discretion regarding the use of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
Keep your vehicle gas filled
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze.
Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set to rotate.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to
Be Positive, Safe, and Alert..
Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All.
God Bless You, and everyone
Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, etc.
Please Be Safe...

All good suggestion with the risk now of the open boarder.
I had an ugly, older camper a few years ago. The wallpaper in the galley area SUCKED. I went to Home Depot and bought these amazing 12 x 12 tiles and cut them to fit. They were self adhesive also.
That’s so cool! Simple upgrades can make such a big difference!
I can't believe how much your dog looks like my little Lexie girl.
Aww we wanna see her! Find us on FB or IG and send a pic! @honeyiroam
my dog won't walk on those stairs either; they're common around where I live. The stairs that lead down to the docks are like your entry ones. I always thought it was because he was scared of the water beneath the stairs but seeing Winston not liking them makes me think it's something to do with the holes in the stairs, maybe it feels unstable or something
I just came across your adventures. You might want to check out Living Large Camping, they have a Lance also and made alot of improvements that might interest you. Safe travels.
Hi!! welcome to our channel! we love Living Large Camping! awesome people
I am really impressed and motivated by your truck camper. I am in Toronto, Canada. Kindly let me know how and where I can get a truck camper like yours ? Much appreciated and Thanks.😊
Hi Sharma! we will plan to do a video on how we found our perfect camper!
I live in a travel trailer and Reilly my dog would not go up my stairs. I realized his nails were getting hurt in the open holes on my steps.
5:54 Nice! it has no natural flavors!
you already knowwww boiiii :)
😊👍
We appreciate you watching!
It looks good on you, Susan! :)
Don't spend all your money because you will probably need it for fuel. I had a truck camper years ago. Bad gas mileage.
always saving!
Underwear? Who the hell needs Underwear?
LOL
Yea, a small Fan on it will work.
Congrats on your new camper and truck. Again, no matter what anyone tells you.....especially in older campers and trailers...never transport with propane on. I live in an 88 Fleetwood Resort 30 ft travel trailer and I actually only have propane on when I'm using it because propane leaks. Even tiny pinhole leaks. Since I started turning valves off when not using stove? I only have to fill my 5 gallon tank twice a year!!! Before I was filling it monthly. So. Have fun and enjoy.😎🏜❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈🏳️🌈 ps: I have an electric water heater.. I only use propane for cooking. If you have a propane water heater? Have hoses checked for leaks.
All excellent tips and safety suggestions!!
One way you can check for leaks is to spray soapy water along the hoses, and any leaks will cause it to make bubbles. May be an easy way of locating the leaks, if you haven't tried it already. Also, it's a good idea to have a propane detector, located near the floor, as propane sinks.
Thank you! Thank you! We love all your tips and tricks. The hoses for the propane are all good, and we are sure to turn it off after done using the stove. The fridge will mostly run on DC when we are off grid and in transit. Appreciate the confirmation. Our coworker at our workcamping gig is an expert in all of this so we have been picking his brain! And unfortunately the hot water heater doesn’t work at all so that’s a project we are looking into. Wanted to replace it with another propane but would rather have an electric one…not quite sure what route to go yet
@@honeyiroam you're better off to go solar /electric just because you can always have hot water without dealing with tank refills and thermo couplings which kept going out on my hot water heater so I finally bypassed it with a 15 gallon electric. But you can totally make it work on a 5 gallon too.
@@underthetornado thank you for the input. What’s your brand hot water heater? So much research to do! Lol
