Re: Any videos for winterizing a 2016 Born Free "Freedom" model??

Your tech will probably remind you but it is always recommended that you pour some pink stuff in the p traps of the sinks and showers.

Re: Need help determining price on a BFT

If you go to the main Bornfreeclub.org site and click on 'Know Your Coach' there is new section called 'Motocoach Sales Data' which has historical sales prices and data to review. Might be of help while you evaluate the price.

Re: Magnatek 7345 Charger/ Converter

You have more confidence in me than I do! Yes I was wanting to explore the option of the replacement PD4655V so that the batteries won't be overcharged. It is good to know that the install time won't be too long!

Re: Magnatek 7345 Charger/ Converter

William do you have any sense of how many hours it would take a service tech to install the Parallax 7345 Charger/Converter? I have thought about it but will have labor in addition to cost of the unit.

Re: rear wall construction for running camera wires

I have read of several that are installing a wireless camera on or near the back license plate. They pull power from that light and then the camera communicates wirelessly with the monitor in the front.

Re: Air Conditioner in extreme heat

A big thing to consider that an RV air conditioner only drops the temperature about 20 degrees from the temperature of the air going in. It reduces humidity of course but can't do too much more on actual temperature. If you air conditioner is working than getting a new unit probably won't help. When...

Re: Marshall Brass 2 Stage LP Regulator

My experience is I have been told that my propane tank on my 2004 coach does not need inspected. So far it has passed the propane drop tests at the service center and they said there is not much rust so I haven't had to replace the tank yet. My regulator is still performing ok so I can't answer that...

Re: mpg miles per gallon with Triton V-10

I am following this conversation since I have been frustrated by the low mileage on my 2004 26RSB. I don't tow but am fully loaded as to on-board weight. I don't drive over 65 and more commonly average 60. It I ever get 9 mpg I am ecstatic. I sit more commonly at 8.5 mpg. I had a fuel induction clea...

Re: Moisture in walls?

I remember he was going around the coach and marking different areas with blue tape where it had pulled away and it was most of the top and bottom seam. I didn't exactly see what he was doing but probably pushing to see if there was give in and out. Otherwise my fiberglass waslls were/are smooth. I ...

Re: Moisture in walls?

I see you also posted on the Facebook group but I thought I would reply here. I had an experience similar to Eric Sandstrom was describing. As I understand the fiberglass is connected at the long strip front to back and the top as well as the bottom. On the older Born Free models they didn't use sta...

Re: Rear View Camera options

I was great to hear your update and that the backup camera is working well. Cameras have been on my mind lately. I just replaced my Garmin that had a built in Dash Cam with a new RV Garmin 895. So, I no longer have a dash cam. They have integrated back up cameras you can buy. I am wondering if I cou...

Re: Interstate/Road Weigh stations... how do you know if you should pull in?

That is a great question! I have never stopped since I am not a commercial vehicle even though I am at 14,000 lbs. I found a pretty good blog on it. An it sure sounds like it varies state by state. You can check out the blog and see what you think. I was surprised to see my state MO on there but for...

Re: Walmart Oil Change

I ran into this in Texas awhile back and they started out telling me to buy my own oil. And they just parked it facing into the bay since they couldn't bring it inside due to the height. While I was in the aisle picking out my oil a service agent came found me and said they would provide the oil lik...

Re: Microwave & AC not working

First you probably need to confirm the brand and model of your generator. But a question worth asking is there is a main switch on the generator itself. In my Guardian Generator the switch is to the right of the prime switch. Sometimes when they service the generator they turn that switch off. So co...
