That's how they accomplish the 634# weight.
I was referring to the Runaway Camper trailer and not the over cab sleeper. At least the sleeper has a bed and storage, while the Runaway option was an empty box inside.

My first impression is the wind effect. I would not be comfortable with 30+ mph cross winds while doing 60+ MPH. The wheelbase is just too narrow to stabilize that much mass. Nope!
Wouldn't be any worse than a Transit connect LWB as a sail.

I'd prefer this to the cabover any day. Less than half the price, easier than mounting something in and out of your Maverick, and you still have use of the bed.

Do you have a runaway camper?? I've been looking at them too. I think they have a dealer now in Sacramento. And there is one I can rent on RVshare fairly close to where I live. So I can try it out first.

If you have one which one do you have and how have you set it up?

I'd have been game for this about 25 years ago, but not at this price.

Funny that my wife saw this before me and pointed it out, then she saw the price and said, Uh, no!

My wife won't stay in Motels. Hotel yes. But at least after your 100 nights stay you can get half your money back with this.
$8000 for a NEW one is about $5000 too much.

I was gonna buy one for $1295.
That's where I was, thinking "Well, that is maybe a bit more than I want to spend right now, but it might make sense." Then reality hit me.

Good idea, but too rich for my blood.

For that price you could get a decent camper trailer well within the tow limit even more so if you have the 4k package.
