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

Greetings, It has been some time since I have posted, been so dang busy and all, fending off the pressures of life, I haven't had much time to ponder for myself. Think I had super delegateitis. This old yankee is trying to get educated enough to buy his third Born Free, most likely a 24'rear bath w/...

Martin & Strings, What you have received is all good advise, however in the short run you need to do something quick. Born Free utilizes a marine (boat) shore tie cable. These can be purchased at any marine hardware store. Or you can make up a cable by visiting your local electrical supply store...

Dallas,
At least with New Hampshire pine tree sap this worked great for me over many years. DENATURED ALCOHOL found in a paint store. Colman fuel will do the same thing. Wet a rag and rub the sap, soon it will soften and disappear. George B

Know of a private sale, 2001 23'RK for sale in FLorida with 27,000 miles for $35,900. The owner declined my offer to post it on the web site for him, so I am offering limited info for you. If you have an interest I have his phone #. George B

Jim & Lana, Well, by now you have had your appointment with ford, so I may be a little late sharing what I know. Having spent over $2,000 in an attempt to cure the braking problem on my 1997 24'RB, I feel I am an expert on the subject. These model year(s) ford chassis are flawed in their braking...

UPDATE------- Due to our 2008 rallies already filling up at unprecedented rates, it is now apparent we need more rallies to accommodate our members. So, we will be rerunning the Miramichi Music Festival Rally in New Brunswick on August 3-7. Gary and Hope Keighley will once again host it. This rally ...

The first of the year is just around the corner and we are faced with a deadline for passports for Canadian travel in 2008. The club is offering rallies in Canada this coming year and may do so again in 2009. Getting a passport takes time so, if you are planning Canadian travels, you may want to sta...

OOPS--------------I thought for sure New Mexico was in Bob Newby's region. It's like home with the wife. Wrong again! Bill Lyon is the VP for NM. George B

PS: Yes balloon should have had two oos, not a good day..

There is nothing planned for the club to host a ballon rally this coming year. However if you have a desire to be the host we certainly could offer it. Bob Newby is our new Vice President for that region, he may have plans for another year please feel free to contact him. George Boley, Rally/Caravan...

A full 11 months before it is scheduled to happen, the Lake Winnipesaukee Rally in NH is COMPLETELY FULL and we are taking backup reservations. Because of the overwhelming response, we may very well run this rally again, so we ask that if you have an interest please send in just a reservation form w...

Hi Bruce,
I think Logan Mathis is going to organize a BF presence there. We all went last year as a group and had a great time. You should hear something on the L'n L site about it soon. George B

Hi Larry, George Boley here. I suspect the problem might be the calipers are sticking and not releasing the pads as quick as they should. This would heat the rotors warping them. I am assuming they cleaned the slides when they put the new pads in, if not this could also hang up the pads heating the ...

Hi Sue, You pose an interesting question, I think it has a lot to do a lot with one's comfort level. I have a friend who tries to buy cars that have atleast 125,000 miles on them. Myself, I look for vehicles that have just under 100,000. In both cases we recognize that public perception that vechicl...

Jim---Do you think someone may have put the wrong antifreeze in your unit at some time? I know that Cat (Diesel) requires a special antifreeze that absorbs the diesel shock from each piston explosion. Without it the cylinder liners get pitted and leak. I wonder if it could impact cores. NOTE:The ant...
