Re: Born Free Logo

I would not begin to guess the original colors based on my RVs current colors. Unless stored inside the colors of most RV graphics have likely faded beyond recognition. Part of my logo on the front of my RV have departed so it now just says "FREE". We have named her (the RV) "Freebie&...

Re: Alarm system for BF RVs.

Using the door switches was pretty smart, and adding the interior motion switch for “window entry” I assume to cover all the basis. I am capable of wiring into or tying into the door switches but would hope to find a commercial alarm that can get to these door switches without me needing to splice ...

Re: Alarm system for BF RVs.

I would also love to learn about alarms for the Born Free itself as well as which locks work best to lock the Progessive EMS surge protector to the breaker box ?

Re: Handling and Ride Questions for the E350 22' Owners

Mine handles fine I drove it 1500 miles bringing it home. It has only about 40k miles. I would not change or upgrade anything unless I was trying to improve offroad performance. I would like to get some increase in clearance and a differential locker.

Alarm system for BF RVs.

Anyone install an alarm on the BF? I have created a system to protect a bike or motorcycle attached to the back of my Born Free but am also interested in something to protect against unauthorized entry into the RV. Who has got a secured Born Free? How'd you do it?

Re: Overhead cabinet struts

Tom, photobug has a BF with the newer type cabinets that use different type hinges and hydraulic struts instead of the type of hinges you referred to in your post above. Thanks Bill, I was about to run out and buy some hinges after going out to check my setup first. So you are saying the hydraulic ...

Overhead cabinet struts

My overhead cabinets have struts. As far as I can tell they just keep the cabinets from swinging out and from slamming. Are/were they also supposed to keep the cabinet open in the up position? I just saw a different style of van with struts that hold the doors in the upward position.

Re: Outdoor shower mixing valve

Our 2010 22 RSK uses Moen water valves throughout, cartridges are $15 at any hardware or home depot. The OP did not say what year or model his coach is. Mine is a 2009 Born Free 22. Rear door with over cab sleeping. Do you have a picture of the Moen valve? The valve in your picture is the same as I...

Re: Outdoor shower mixing valve

Thanks for the info. Glad to know they are still made and that Born Free uses high end marine parts. I just wish it was not $120. I have found a source for $95. Still at that price I will take apart the valve and look at the cartridge before I order a new part. Thanks again. On the plus side. I now ...

Outdoor shower mixing valve

My outdoor shower's mixing valve is leaking. When I bought it last winter and drove it home it might have been exposed to freezing conditions before had the chance to drain the shower system. The valve is a one piece system with a silver knob that rotates to adjust temp and goes back and forth to ad...

Here is what I came up with. This is a standalone graphic now I can tweak by making it any size or color. If anyone wants a copy of this to use let me know.

Re: Born Free Logo

I have contacted KEG graphics to see what they can do for me/us. I would still like to recreate the logo for my own use. The one logo still intact on my Born Free is not in great shape with some of the letters being broken up. If someone were to get me a clean photo of an intact logo, I can recreate...

Born Free Logo

The Logo and striping on my Born Free is in rough shape. The logo over the cab is half missing and really faded. Has anyone found a way to replace this logo? My other option is to remove what is left of this logo and when I completed my upcoming project which will add a front receiver hitch and move...

Re: Born Free Sighting

I live in Jackson Wyoming so my day to day is a cross section of all the greatest and worse RVs and custom earth roaming vehicles more costly than most homes. About 2 weeks ago we were running errands and saw a mint condition BF. It looked just like our but about 4 feet longer with a side entrance a...
