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

A PROCRASTINATING LION MAY LOSE HIS POWER----There are still some electric sites left at the National Rally but they won't last forever. If you would like one, send in your reservation very soon. As we get closer to the May 5th deadline to register, you may want to call Ron Warmbier at 609-597-8124 ...

The fairgrounds was gracious enough to fit us in between their other reservations, however that created the need to abbreviate our rally. This in turn required limited time to get everything in. Both the technical seminar and Ramona's renowned tea have been big hits in the past, so instead of chosin...

Bob, As a past VP that has put on many rallies yourself, I am sure you remember the rally process, and its safeguards. But for those that aren't familiar with it, as the past Rally Coordinator I would like to share the following. As you know when someone wants to host a rally they must get approval ...

Good Morning, Because it has been two years since my last post, for the benefit of the new members, allow me to introduce myself. Sue and I have owned three Born Frees, we are original members of the Club and I served on the original bylaw committee. Just for the record I was the only committee memb...

Neal, Your 43 degrees is close to normal, (38 is ideal) considering your ambient temp in AZ. It's just working a little harder then normal. You mentioned the coils in the back were hot, this is normal as well. Refrigerators don't make cold they transfer heat, from inside the box (evaporator) to the ...

WARNING Diesel engines do not like gas, because it has no lubricating properties. It needs diesel fuel's lubricating qualities to lubricate the pump/injectors or they can be ruined. $ $ $ $ $ I would get this coach to a qualified garage "close by" and have the tank pumped and the fuel filt...

All of the 2010 rallies have been either posted on the website or published in the newsletter, so signups are now being accepted. I encourage you to reserve ASAP if you want to attend any club rally. In the last four days alone Sue and I have received eleven reservations on our Newfoundland's Twilli...

Glen, A whole bunch of red flags just went up!!!!!!!!!! I don't know the answer, but I'm betting on my instinct that something here smells fishy. When you heat a frame you take the temper out of it, a bad thing to do to anything that is supposed to flex. The pre 2008 models, use an eccentric that th...

Ray, Give Gary Keighley a call at 603-356-2699. He has set up the club fireworks rally in Quebec City for August of this year. or better yet if you are a club member join us there. George B

RV circuit boards are expensive and the last thing you want to do is buy one or worse yet guess you need one, buy it and the problem turns out to be something else. Most vendors will not take back an electrical component, much less an electronic one. So we are on our own! The best tool I have found ...

We have already put together seven (7) rallies and caravans for 2010. The dates are listed under the rally section of this format, so you can start to plan your travels for next year. You may sign up for them as soon as the spring newsletter comes out. George Boley, Rally/Caravan Coordinator

Dallas, Mystery solved--- You have a loose connection somewhere in your distrbution panel. During times of heavy current draw a poor conection will cause heat and melted and discolored conductors (wires). The wires will have to be stripped back to expose clean copper, the connecters will have to be ...

Mel is right--------Believe it or not , these thin light 12 volt fluorscent fixtures have tiny inverters in them to convert 12VDC to 120VAC. That is why you can use the standard hardware store fluorescent bulbs. George B

A word on attaching anything to the ladder----- I have cut through the vertical tubing to repair a ladder, beleive me it is paper thin. I'm surprised it holds a man's weight. One thing for sure, I will never again climb the ladder with a mounted spare in my free hand. After seeing the guage of the a...

One of the purposes of this format is to share knowledge with other Born Free owners. Part of that knowledge should be knowing what our coaches are worth when we decide to sell them. With that thought in mind, I share the following: On Nov 4th we consigned our 1999 23' RD to the factory lot in Clerm...
