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

As mentioned before on this subject, Born Free side walls are not laminated, i.e., glued together under pressure like many RVs. They are attached at the top and bottom only, so it is possible there is space behind the side wall when one presses on it. My coach sidewall had come loose at the bottom d...

Born Free side walls are floating. You should not need repair. Old fashioned

Upon further examination, instead of the entire sidewall being separated at the bottom where it attaches to the floor structure, it might be only the exterior fiberglass which has come loose. The seam at the bottom of the sidewall is separated, but the structure behind it might be OK. There is a lot...

Thanks Roger. That is probably the solution. The loose sidewall is also on the awning side, another potential source of a leak. Also thanks to Bill Hemme, but still too big a challenge to transfer photos from IPhone to laptop and then to website. The RV tech I know will be back in a week or so and w...

This is from outside the coach. There is a seam cover which is also loose. Does anyone know how the sidewall is att...

The device cost about $300, now can't remember the name, but it is an American company. If there is any electrical issue on the pedestal, there will be a code. In no p...

very enjoyable article. Thanks!!

Great post, solved the mystery of why our vent was leaking. At least it leaked into the shower. Thanks so much. Ordered a cap from site on posting. Cheap solution. Now the question is can the vent cover be replaced from inside the coach or does one have to go on the roof? Thanks again.
