Re: New ebikes
Tickled to see your post re the electric bikes. My wife and I recently sold our toad that had been with us since we purchased the BF with the intention of replacing it with 2 electric bikes. It is nice to see that someone also had the same idea. My congratulations on your choice of bikes. It is the ...

Re: steering wander
Should all else fail, you might consider the installation of a Safe-T-Steer front stabilizer or a like alternative such as Roadmaster makes. It, and a heavy duty rear sway bar did the trick for our 2007 24RB. These two installations were made after trips to a large Ford dealership, a reputable front...

Re: Deisel 6.0 or gas V10?
8) Greetings We have a 2007 24RB o the Ford E450 chassis. The engine is gas. A suggestion; should you be looking for more torque for the gas engine, you might consider a Banks PowerPack exhaust system. I had it installed on our coach and it definitely provided more torque, which here on the West Coa...

Re: Shock absorbers
I have just had new shocks installed on our 2007 24RB. From what research I did, my choice was either Bilsteins or Konis. From a number of sources, including several mechanics, I learned that while the Bilstein is a great shock, it is stiffer than the Koni and better suited to large trucks. My broth...

Re: So what RVs to look at, now that Born Free is gone?
Steve We are on are second BF and like everyone else on this forum, we like it very much. A replacement for us, should it become necessary would be a Pleasure Way. They now offer a twin bed, dry bath, 22ft on a Mercedes chassis with the diesel engine. We prefer our 24RB, but as I said, should a repl...

Re: Cure for steering wander
Bill The Ford Dealership (a large one that handles trucks and services RVs) in our area was the first place I took it. They checked the front end, did all the measurements, etc, and informed me that everything was within specifications. I then took it to an independent shop that worked on larger tru...

Re: Cure for steering wander
We purchased a 2007 RB new and it was delivered to us in Sacramento, CA. At the end of our initial trip with it, I was amazed the delivery driver had even got it to California. To describe the steering was "loose" would only be suggestive. At 55 mph, driving it was a two handed white knuck...

Re: Seeking Guidance: Range Light to dim
Steve We have a 2007 24RB and put up with the same problem for years. Finally my wife put the proverbial foot down and said "fix it". So - I took the bulb out and immediately noticed that it was not clear. I then called Kip at BF and he suggested I replace the bulb; an obvious answer but I...

Re: Permanent Bed Vs couch/dinette
John My wife and I are on our second Born Free. Our first was a 22' BFT, which we found a bit small. Also, I wanted a dry bath. We now have a 2007 24' RB, which we like very much. It has the dry bath and the twin inclining beds on which we use foam pads with Travasaks. For us, that is a perfect slee...

Re: When I see a Gas V10 BF w/ Banks Power, whats it mean?
stevek When we were trailer towing, I had the Banks Power System installed on our Chev pu. The result was significantly more power, a cooler running engine, but very little increase in fuel mileage. Sometime back, I checked into having the same unit installed on our 2007 24RB and learned two things....

Re: Steering Stabilizer vs. Anti-sway bars
fourleos Perhaps I can add some further confusion. We have a 2007 24RB which we purchased new and had it delivered to us in CA. When I first drove it I was amazed that someone was even able to drive it out from Iowa to CA. To say the front steering wandered would be a massive understatement. I subse...
