Born Free Leap'n Lions RV Club Info & Discussion Forum

In an attempt to get this thread back on track....... I do have tilt steering!!! In re-reading some of the posts I got to thinking, I have everything on the option sheet that Bill mentioned (I haven't looked for my paperwork to confirm). In order to tilt the wheel I was interpreting the movement nee...

My chairs reside in the shower stall when I travel.

I said I dislike that it doesn't have power windows and door locks and tilt steering. I really do wish I had it. You can't always get what you want, but you get what you need. After buying it and finding out more about it and how luxurious a BF is I am still puzzled why they would even start out wit...

When buying a 25 year old RV with a budget of $5,000 or less you don't get to be picky about options. I was concerned with water leaks, motor, transmission, tires, and not having a trashed interior. I found something that would work and bought it. I didn't go looking for a Born Free, I went looking ...

Mike&Linda, That trick for tilt steering is not true on my 1989. This cab is so bare bones I'm surprised it has AC and an FM radio. Actually it has a tape deck as well.....they really splurged on the radio :) http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q752/CamperDude/steering%20wheel_zpsbygoiirr.jpg

Here is a pic of a light from the inside. They all look the same. I could not get a pic of where those 2 black wires connect to the main wires. But at least you have an idea of what is on the inside.

I have a 1989 and the whole front room/carpet was removed. I have access to my lights and wiring I assume it will be very similar to yours. Which light is it? I'll take a pic of it so you can see how the wires might be hanging. I would suggest needlenose pliers or a bent coat hanger or a combination...

Mike&Linda.......I have a 1989 and I am so excited to read your post. If I had read this 15 minutes earlier I would call my wife at home to try it before she left for work. Instead I have to think about it all day at work until I get home to try it. On a side note with the floor highbeam button....

I am curious how many RV's don't have power windows and locks. A luxury RV that is costing $60k (25 years ago remember) should have the $100 power window and lock option.

I didn't think about power seats. I am curious if any power seat swivels.

I would check out a local mom and pop shop that knows both the house and vehicle. My guy works on everything. RV's, Big Trucks, cars, trucks, boats etc. He can look at the House systems as well as the vehicle.

I have a 5yo son. Hate is a bad word. I DISLIKE the front window over the cab. It is way to bright and hot in the morning. I have it covered with reflectix. Plus this window seems to leak every 2 years and seems to take about 1 year to get it fully sealed before the 2 years start again. I DISLIKE th...

I would go to a local RV shop (not a chain). I bet they have installed more than 1 front hitch. I installed 1 rear trailer hitch and it was real snug between the frame which made it a major PIA to install.

I can't speak to buying a new RV but I can speak to the longevity of the units. I have a 25yo BF and it is still in fairly good condition. Bedding, cabinets, drawers are all in good working order. The only appliances that have crapped out on me are the HWH but that happens over time (I consider it w...

I am trying to figure out when I will have time to clean my roof and seal the fan. It is high on the RV list but low on the Honey do list. I am busy redoing my living room / dinning room and when I finally had a break for a beer on Sunday afternoon I heard a drip drip drip in my garage. My wifes bat...
