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

We no longer are BF owners, and our coach was a 24RB. So, we wouldn't have been much help for you. There are a couple of BF owners in the ABQ area, and at least one coach is a 26RSB model. However, I don't know if they're members of the forum and will see your request. I suggest that you contact Bor...

My wife and I were able to test drive the 32' BF at the factory. We determined that the turning radius is indeed shorter than our current RV and except for the added width it will be easier to back it into our RV Port garage. I was disappointed that one of the respondents was a factory rep under th...

Before we purchased our Born Free, we had a chance to visit a couple of BF owners in our area and tour their coaches. (That was before sharing BF owner contact info became a security issue.) But it was at a "show and tell" rally in Tucson where we were able to see several other BF models a...

Bill, Did you take your BF to the glass shop or did they use their mobile service? Safelite used their mobile service to replace our BF windshield. That's where the problem arose, because they forgot to tell the tech that it was a MH with a cabover which required two people to get the installation d...

Trisha, When we had to replace our Born Free windshield, our insurance company used Safelite. They brought the new windshield to our location for replacement. (Unfortunately, we've given Safelite a lot of windshield business with our cars during our time in New Mexico, because of all the rocks and g...

Sharing general info probably is okay . . . such as which Born Free model gets a five star rating, etc. However, the complete ratings are more complex than that, because they include safety, road handling, market value, and several pages of indepth information. Unauthorized copying and publishing of...

Are you referring to the RV Consumer Group in Quilcene, Washington? If so, you can contact them to find out how to get the ratings you need. Their contact info is on their website at www.rv.org. Unless their rules have changed, you may have to be a member of RV Consumer Group to get the ratings CD, ...

In order to help balance out the tank usage, we bought a dish pan that just fits in the left-hand section of the kitchen sink. All dish washing and rinsing water goes into the pan. If our gray tank is getting overly full compared to the black tank, I simply empty the dish pan into the toilet. Using...

. . . I discovered that we have missed almost all of Idaho . . . Our first tour of Idaho was two weeks long by rental car in 1993. We put about 2500 miles on that car, but still missed most of Idaho. There are a lot areas that simply were not accessible by car. So we had to be content to just enjoy...

We formerly owned a 2001 24RB. It was a pre-loved unit that we found after a three year search, and we also loved it. Since it was our first motorhome, it gave us a wonderful and sometimes confusing RV ownership training experience. But we never had any major problems. Wish we could say the same abo...

. . . When I was there, we didn't go into France because of the rifle toting guards at the border. That kind of turned me off & we turned around & re-routed our trip through the Southern parts of Germany, etc. Charlotte, During our three and half years in Germany, there were rifle-toting gu...

I didn't realize that you already have experience travelling through Europe, probably because that point was not mentioned in your original post. Since you do have the experience, you probably already have a lot of important knowledge about the possibilities and facilities, such as RV parks, electri...

We know a former BF couple who went to Europe and purchased a smaller van camper to use there. They enjoyed the van camper so much that they shipped it back to the U.S. They kept both the BF and the van camper, then decided which one to use based on the length and destination of each trip. Unfortuna...

Did anyone see that Born Free also was one of the featured RVs on the HGTV show, "RV 2007"? Took them long enough to recognize Born Free!!! I've been nagging them for years to include Born Free.

Brent, what a great suggestion to have an RV park forum.

And Bill and Mel, it's great that you set up regional categories in the forum.
