Re: How long on your batteries
John, I haven't tried a test quite like that but if you were using the humidifier on both CPAPs that was probably somewhere around a 120 Watt load. That will drain your batteries pretty fast. When I use my CPAP on 12 V, I turn the humidifier off but put water in the tank so that I do get some humidi...

Re: Electric Privacy Shade
Dave, I had the motor on one of our privacy shades burn out when the shade got caught behind the TV as I was raising it. After some searching thru the Born Free documentation I found the brand name (sorry I don't remember it) and contacted the manufacturer to obtain a replacement motor. Unfortunatel...

Re: Two Electrical 120v service questions?
I don't have an answer to your first question since I always have the battery disconnect switch (near the door) and the Outback switch (by the generator) on when I am using the unit. As to your second question, I don't have the manual in front of me but recall that the Outback can be wired to two ba...

Re: Tank heaters
I don't have any good answer for the tank heaters but they can probably be turned on any time there is more than a few gallons of water in them and sub-freezing temperatures are expected. They operate on 12 volts so battery drain will be a consideration. The valve heaters should only be turned on fo...

Re: Navigation system in Freedom
We have a 2015 Triumph Royal and the dash radio was installed by Born Free. It is a Xite Model XS90111E with the Rand-Mcnally navigation module. The software for the navigation unit is on the SD card and if corrupted, will give a message like you are seeing. If you have a Windows PC you can update t...

Re: SMI braking system
We have been using the SMI Stay-in-Play DUO for 4 years, first in a Honda CR-V and now in a Jeep Wrangler. After using a system similar to the Brake Buddy about 12 years ago, I would never go back to a box that I needed to set in place on the floorboard and connect to the brake pedal each time I hoo...

Re: Towing capacity
I found the 12,000 lb. figure. It is listed as the "Rating with Weight Distribution Bars". It applies to 3 models: Splendor Royal, Majestic and Imperial. All of them are diesel chassis with the 4.88 axle ratio and 19,500 GVWR and 35,000 GCWR.

Re: Towing capacity
The figures I provided came from a form that I had to sign at Born Free when I picked up our Triumph Royal and it shows the data for every model they produced that year.

Re: Towing capacity
I don't have the chart for the 2016 model but my chart for the 2015 model shows:
GVWR 19,500
GCWR 35,000
Ball Hitch Towing Capacity 7,500
Tongue Weight Max 750
I suspect it is the same for the 2016 Model

Re: Issues with AC and waterheater
Yep, I went thru that drill with my brand-new BF. Careful reading of the manual indicated there was a switch but it was so well-hidden that it is easy to overlook. Glad that was the only problem with yours.

Re: Issues with AC and waterheater
John,
That water heater has a on/off switch on the heater for the electric element. It is almost hidden behind a tube. When you open the door to the heater, look in the lower left quadrant.

Re: Recommended tire pressure
I have long suspected that all the charts were the same but never bothered to compare them and had not heard that it is a legal requirement. I just compared the Continental and Michelin charts for 225/70R19.5 G tires and see that the information is presented differently. For an unbalanced load, the ...

Re: Recommended tire pressure
I had forgotten how well Continental hid their tire inflation tables for their 19.5" truck tires until I had to find it again recently.
