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

Hey folks, I recognize that everyone has their own style about what they like and don't like. We recently bought a 2001 24RB with 42,000 miles but did not find the counter top color to be as warm as our 2003 24RB. We considered changing out the counter tops but that is a lot of work and expensive. I...

Update Hey folks - in the end I replaced the water pump in my 2001 24RB and everything works perfect. I own two Born Frees and I had a water pump issue with my 2003 24RB around the same time and I thought folks might find this helpful. The switch on the monitor was working - PUMP lite up.. but no po...

Hey folks, Looking for some advice about where to check next. We have a 2003 Born Free 24RB with a Generac generator. I have a new charge controller installed this spring and some batter monitors installed and I noticed when we started the generator last night I was getting no power - nothing to out...

Thanks Bill, That could be helpful. I will be able to look closer tomorrow. In talking with the owner and doing some more research on these water pumps, I think the check valve might be stuck or there might be debris in the pump. There are a few YouTube videos out there showing these pumps and the i...

Hey folks, We are picking up a new to us 2001 Born Free 24RB on Monday. The seller mentioned he filled the water tank with fresh water and hears the water pump working when he opens the faucet but is getting no water from the faucets. He said it sounds like the pump is working constantly. I mentione...

Funny I saw that eBay listing as well. I would like to just fix the switch if I can, but also just ordered a SeeLevel II.

Bill,

Do you know if these switches or the panel just pops out? I was sort of guessing it might.

Hey folks, I’ll start this post by saying I do plan to install a SeeLevel soon. While traveling this week I noticed my monitor lights not coming on right away every time I pressed the button on the hood... like the switch was failing? Now the lights won’t light up at all :-( The pump, range light, a...

Hi, I recently installed a 2000W Power Tech On inverter for $250 and I am very happy with it. I know it might be overkill - but I also wired it to all my outlets. Here is the Amazon link - https://www.amazon.com/Power-TechOn-Inverter-Outlets-PS1003/dp/B0131NFWX2/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=power+tech+on&...

Hey folks, I noticed this on my 2001 24RB and I am seeing it on our 2003 24RB. Water collects in the tail lights. Anyone else had this problem? Did anyone fix it. I should mentioned I have been watching this for over a year now, it has not impacted the lights. I know it means the seal must be leakin...

Update, Ok, here is an update on my TV Antenna exploration. As I mentioned, sitting in my driveway - the original Delta TV antenna was unable to pull in any channels.. might be the cable, the antenna, etc. I didn't full investigate just yet. I did however buy "one of the cheap stick antennas&qu...

Thanks Tom, Some very helpful information here! To be honest TV is so not important to us, but occasionally we allow others to spend the night in our Born Free in our driveway - and right I can not pull in any channels. I think I might first try something like a cheap indoor antenna like the Amazon ...

Thanks folks, It did occur to me that I might have an issue with the wiring for the Delta... but since last year is was leaking water inside (I fixed this with some sealant) I know the time is right to upgrade. I have searched and seen several Amazon "omnidirectional RV tv antenna" - most ...

Hey folks, I very rarely use the TV in our Born Free, but sometimes it might be nice to pick up a local channel. I have an original Delta antenna on the roof - and I am guess it is pretty useless now. At least I have been unable to get any channels. I live about 5 miles outside a small city. My TV i...

I am currently planning to upgrade my florescents. I have not done it yet.. but here are a few links to some youtube videos that I might use as a guide. Overall it looks pretty simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAMPQrAu0aI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3UqOzrchPo https://www.youtube.com/wat...
