Apparently so, but it's the only one like it I've ever seen that is factory. Works extremely well for us.  |

| Sorry for the delay. Here is a pic of the setup in my Born Free. When I originally bought it, the upper bunk had been removed, so I rebuilt it. Needless to say, it is much stouter than the original. I believe you could safely put 300 pounds in that upper bunk. Now with us 3, Isaac loves to sleep in ... |

| The hardest part of trying to purchase a BF motorhome is to convince my wife. Right now, she wants no part of it.. That is the hardest huddle right now. Hahaha! That was exactly the issue I had. I drug my wife around to look at about fifty and saved the born free for last. When she saw all the junk... |

| Sorry, but the drivers and front passenger seats do not swivel. They may in the newer model Ford E450 and E350 chassis but I have never seen one. The drivers seat doesn't on mine because it is an 8-way power seat, but my front passenger seat does swivel all the way around. It is a factory flex steel. |

| I do not believe they made a non-presidential model as every single one in this age group that I've ever seen was a President. It would also be neat to see one with a convertible dinette as I have not seen that either. Mostly they have two chairs with a table that comes out from a slot in the wall.... |

| That's going to be one trip for sure. I would at least consider buying a sat phone in case of emergencies if you're going to be that far off the grid. You'll probably be fine once you get to Yellowknife, but it might be a bad situation if you break down or something else happens along the way. |

| Not sure I'm ready to step up to that plate yet, but I'd sure help with what I could to get it organized. I'm surprised this position has stood unfilled though! Does no one in the PNW know what a Born Free is? There are SO many RV'ers in this area too! And so many parks/resorts. Just to let people k... |

| Very cool! Good to see another local! Just drove through Eugene the other day on my way back from Seven Feathers. Also saw one other Born Free going I-5 South. They flashed their lights and I flashed back. Looked like a BF for 2. We exist here, but it sure is rare to see one at a park or on the road... |

| Why did you disconnect the gauges? I hope you at least have the EGT, anyhow. On my old 91 7.3 IDI with a Banks Sidewinder, I had 5 separate gauges to watch everything: Water temp, Trans Temp, EGT, Oil Pressure, and Boost. Even the boost gauge was useful because I could squeeze extra MPG out of the t... |

| What year Born Free do you have? The newer V10's should have electric fans instead of a crank-driven clutch fan. |

| I would say you are safe up to about 215-220. After that the high-speed fans will already be working and you'll want to back out of it a little. Normally you should run between 190-200 I should think. You might consider getting a Predator Tuner coupled with a cold-air intake and a lower-temp thermos... |

| Hi Roger, Yes, the probe is on one of the inlets within about a foot of the manifold, so temps are relatively accurate to what is coming out of the engine. I know I can run hotter safely, but I don't like to get quite so close to the danger zone like that. For me 1000 is hot enough. :) The engine it... |
