His job was to develop a dealer network for the existing farm implement equipment company now entering the motorhome business. He traveled ...

Joel & Sandy After much research, we completed driving our Born Free from Chicago to Santa Monica Pier, CA (3-4 weeks) over as much of the old Historic Route 66 as we could find (and that the coach would tolerate) in 2017. We finished our trip just in time to attend the National Rally in Newport...

About 3 years ago our Tappan microwave/convection oven stopped working in the BF and we were unsuccessful in getting it repaired. Our search for a replacement unit led us to a 1.1 CF High Pointe microwave/convection oven found at Burnstine’s Distributing Corporation located in Elkhart, Indiana. Afte...

For many of you planning on attending the club’s National Rally & 20th Anniversary in May you can read a great article on the Amana Colonies by clicking on the link below. By holding this event in Iowa, birth place of all Born Free Motorcoaches, it will be like holding 3 events all at once: Nati...

Our 2006 24 RB has a stated Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) of 1.889 Lbs. The calculated CCC based on actual scale readings under the following loading is 1,830 lbs.: • Full (engine fluids, fuel, fresh water, hot water heater and LP gas) • Front seats occupied with power cord, flare kit and trailer hi...

Information in the “Factory Brochures for Older Born Free Motorcoaches” section on the club forum shows the following for BF 2008 Model Year: • The 24’ RB built on a 14,500 lb GVWR chassis has a 500 lb h...

All at the same location you could see exactly how the coaches were constructed via a factory tour, get technical questions answered and work out a deal with the sales force all at the ...

Steve, We spent a long time defining our needs and then evaluating motor coaches prior to purchasing a 2006 Born Free 24’ RB model. Once we saw and drove the BF 24’ RB nothing else came as close to our needs as to the quality, size, robust platform, floor plan, comfortable bed, hominess and drivabil...
