Runaway Campers Venturist Standard Trailer

Runaway Campers Venturist Trailer - Multiple Sizes

The Runaway Campers Venturist Trailer, one of the best off road trailers in the game that will eliminate the need to overload your vehicle for those long overlanding trips. With its lightweight design, rugged construction, limitless customization possibilities, and not to forget an affordable price, the Runaway trailer is a top of the line off-grid camping solution.

Runaway Venturist Standard

The Runway Campers Venturist Standard Trailer is unlike most off road trailers you would find on the market.It offers spacious sleeping quarters for 2 adults, eliminating the need to get a roof top tent, but in case you need one anyways, the Runaway Venturist can support even the largest ones on its roof rails.

The Venturist Series Runaway trailer comes in 2 different size configuration, depending on your needs. The Runaway Campers Venturist Trailer is built with durability and functionality in mind, featuring a black powder-coated diamond plate at the front, a seamless fiberglass roof, fiberglass walls, and sturdy black powder-coated fenders. These fenders can double as platforms for standing or as makeshift tables.

The trailer's construction ensures it withstands the test of time and various environmental challenges. Its Timbren axle-less suspension, with a 4-inch lift, allows it to traverse rugged terrain without snagging on obstacles or debris. For added safety and stability, the Venturist includes electric brakes and stabilizer jacks, preventing tipping when detached from a tow vehicle.

Runaway Venturist Trailer With a Roof Top Tent

The integrated air conditioning unit is housed in a durable black powder-coated shell but is not removable. For off-road use, the trailer is equipped with a Max Coupler hitch, which provides better articulation and eliminates the risk of decoupling—an improvement over traditional 2-inch ball hitches.

Instead of noisy chains, the Runaway Venturist employs quiet cables for towing. It also features a connector to power its taillights, brake lights, and brakes. At the rear, there’s an additional hitch that can be used for mounting bike racks or as a tow point. The Runaway trailer also includes integrated roof rack crossbars, allowing users to attach accessories such as awnings, cargo boxes, or even rooftop tents.

Differences Between The Runaway Venturist 6x8 and Runaway Venturist 4x8

The main difference between the Runaway Venturist 6x8 and the Runaway Venturist 4x8 is as you would imagine, the size and of course the weight. The Runaway Venturist 6x8 weighs 1.100lbs while the 4x8 weighs 928lbs. While that might not seem like a big difference, your vehicle, especially if it is a smaller one, will notice.

Another thing you will notice is that the smaller 4x8 Runaway camper comes with only one entrance point while the bigger 6x8 comes with door on both sides of the trailer. And of course, one of the most notable differences would be the interior space. As we mentioned before, the Runaway Venturist Standard trailer was built to sleep up to 2 people, and while that is still true for the smaller 4x8 version, it might be a little snug.
