I Wish I Knew About These 7 Budget Campers Sooner!

I have created full walkthrough tours of every trailer seen in this video (minus one). Links in description below! Also did I miss any? Let me know if you think there is a trailer that should have made our shortlist.

Drew, thanks for all you do to support the teardrop community. Its no small thing to travel, shoot, edit, rinse and repeat! Im always smiling after these vids. Love seeing all the different choices out there!

After watching your full review of Runaway Trailers I went on Facebook and found a slightly used 6’ Range Runner for sale near me… I’m happy to report I’m now a very happy Runaway owner. I love the empty shell… I’ve made a space that works for me and my pup with room for the occasional guest. I love your videos… thanks for putting in the good work!

Gosh Drew, all of these trailers have standout features of their own. Great video as always and it must have taken quite a bit of editing. Much love to you and your family as always.

I love my TC Teardrop, I bought it used and when I called TC to get some info and buy some parts, Todd and Carol treated me as if I had bought it new, I have since met them in person at Expo West they are truly great people to deal with.

Hi Drew, We are in Costa Rica right now and had no idea you had featured our channel. We got a message from Charles Moman letting us know. We appreciate the mention and all you do for the tiny camper community. Thanks to all who watch our channel.

I love Hangin' With Herky, even though I do not have a Runaway, because they are good at explaining how to do things to newbies like me. I also like DIY Outdoor Life for the same reason.

I love your vids, they're not all fluffy and INFLUENCER RAMBLING

Bend and TC are definitely the tops for me. Highly focused on keeping it practical and functional - and easy to maintain. Not something that te rest of the trailers doesn’t meet, but really loved the outcome of their experience and creativity. Hey Drew: the drums added are fantastic!!

Thanks for the shout-out Drew. This list also reads as a list of most of my friends in the TD world. Top notch people and trailers. BTW - love that thumbnail. That was serial # 0001 from us at Overland Trailer.

Hey Drew - thanks for all you do for the small trailer community. Thanks for the shout-out 🙂

We love our TC! We take it out on rough 4x4 trails as much as we can. Todd and Carol and the whole team are so awesome to work with. Every detail of the TD is well thought out. Thanks for another great video, Drew! They’ve helped us over the years decide on which TD to get. 👍

Hi Drew. Your videos are so helpful… I bought a Bend teardrop for its simplicity. But thought of so many different teardrops because of your great videos. Thank you for making them and sharing your wisdom with us❣️

When I was doing research on my trailer, I decided that wood was a deal breaker. I needed zero wood in my build. That narrowed down my options significantly. I also decided 4 wide is too narrow, and 6 wide is too wide for going down trails. So, I needed composite, and 5 wide. That eliminated Runaway from my list. Basically, the only company that makes what I want, and is still affordable (under $10,000 well-equipped) is Tiny Camper Company. So, I now own a 2023, Tiny Camper Company, 5x8, "Adventure Quad Off-Road" and love it. Goldilocks sizing, composite, light weight (not road toad light, but still light), rugged, insulated too. I highly recommend. The owner, Joe, is an amazing person. I also recently came across another small company out of Maine called Axelcamp. They use a PVC material that I suppose counts as a composite. Pricing on these are competitive too. They start around the $10,000 point too. A unique feature from this company is that they offer trailer rentals for those people that want to have the trailer-camping experience, but don't want to spend the cash to actually own one.

WeRoll is out of Florida. Tom works hard to make quality all aluminum trailers without a lot of frills. I had a lot of customizations done with their help (moving air conditioner location, moving maxxfan location, lowered roof, alucab awning, toolbox, offroad tires, etc). My only real complaint is that they never sent replacement windows when they said they would but that worked out better for me. My front windows both shattered at different times and it was much better to fix it myself with tinted lexan. The brake wiring also got sheered during minor off-road use so I re-routed the wiring up out of the way of boulders and rocks - super easy. I also bent the Dexter axle off-road somehow and got a free replacement from Dexter - no fault of WeRoll. It's a solid trailer for the price.

Thanks for including us in your video Drew! I was watching it and was surprised to see Susie and myself plus Ed and Nancy. It was a fun surprise. We loved our years with both of our Runaways and we continue to promote them in anyway we can. We still attend Runaway rallies and we’re at one in Terre Haute, Indiana in June. Great video. Our best to you and your wife. Blessings!

I have learned so much from this channel Drew! I decided on the Runaway after they came out with the 6x8x6 (stand up!) Rouser model in 2022. I do like it, and it was not super expensive. I still would rather a 5 foot wide, 5 foot tall model, but the composite is great. BTW, every time I pack my lifetime cooler with ice and food, I remember your packing tips video. It stays cold enough my frozen hamburger didn't thaw for 2 days :) Plus I use a smaller cooler for drinks.

man... it's ALWAYS great to see ya and a new video. ...all the knowledge! I hope you and your family are doing WELL and THRIVING! Blessings !

Love my Runaway Rouser! Budget friendly, lightweight, and we can stand up!

I think the takeaway for people who may be looking to buy is all of Drew’s picks here are not considered to be in the RV industry. It’s real Americans working hard to make the best product. 😊
