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

Hey folks, I know this is an older post... but seems more related to my questions. I have reviewed several post on replacing the Charger/Converter. I need to replace my batteries because one burned up in the fall and based on what I have learned here.. I am thinking I should replace the Charger/Conv...

Hey folks, For what is it worth, I have had success using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to remove all sorts of stubborn marks on my Born Free. I bought my current BF used in April 2018 and the Magic Eraser removed things that looked a lot like scratches and I never thought would come off. Afterwards you ...

Ben, This is helpful! I also called Factory RV Surplus (and emailed them some images) so they are looking for me as well. Is this the front bracket you are using now (901019W)? I thought about upgrading to these "if" I can fix the arm. Bottom Bracket = https://www.amazon.com/Carefree-90101...

Hey Ben, Thank you, I am going to try to contact Factory RV Surplus tomorrow. The part, or "parts" I need is the rear arm. The plastic housing at the top broke and the part that attaches at the top bracket looks broken. Here are a few images. If you have any part numbers on the arm that wo...

Hi folks, I have a 2003 24RB. We had an unfortunate incident with our awing... the rear arm was damaged - caught on something while someone else was driving :-) I am working with insurance, but the issue I am having is finding a replacement awing or parts. We have a Carefree of Colorado E-Z 12v elec...

Hi folks, I did a a bit more internet digging and found this: http://yourtireshopsupply.com/product/275/dl1ec-chrome-duallyvalve-dl1ec Borg Equipment & Supply Co. --- (818) -352-3017 Looks like a link to what folks are talking about. What about best aftermarket TPMS? Any one have EEZTire by EEZT...

Hey folks, I notice some of the posts here a few years old and the links are not working well. I have tire valve steam issues. Ford dealership installed junk flexible valve stem extenders on rear inner tires (2003 BF 24RB) and it shredded both rubber valve steams resulting in flats. I want to change...

Hi, I believe the water in my BF was coming from the little square gap located right where the long top rail meets the front vertical rail. See the image below. I think the water travels along the rails.. sometimes if there is a weak point it will enter. The blue arrows show were I think (note "...

Thank you, This PDF guide is very helpful and makes it a lot more clear what the PSI's are posted as they are. I think one of the earlier posts had a PDF link but it was a dead link. The 65 and 80 are close to the range of the base GAWR for each axel, so I understand now where those recommendations ...

Hey folks, I also had a question on tire pressure for our 2003 24RB. The BF manual reads "FT 60 PSI and Rear 65 PSI" But the Fuel door has a picture that reads " 65 PSI for the front and 80 PSI for the Rear". Also, on the inside door of the driver side there is sticker from Born ...

Thanks Bill, You are most correct. In case this helps others - the Converter Charger I have - Model 7345 has a 20 AMP fuse max. Never ones might have higher max - but my 2003 24RB doesn't. So I can not just add 10 AWG wire and a 30 AMP fuse. I will need to wire differently. There is another small fu...

Well I think I solved my problem (with a little help from a friend). I checked the installation manual for the frig... I hadn't looked before because this frig was considered a direct replacement, so I assumed everything would be ok for it. The install manual calls for 10 gauge wire (not the 16 gaug...

Hey folks, I have a 2003 24RB. We had a 2-way N641 Norcold refrigerator. We upgraded to a brand new Norcold NA7LX.3R - we bought a 3-way refrigerator. We had a 3-way in our old 2001 24RB. I keep blowing the 5 amp Fuse for the frig. I think it is related to DC mode. I called Norcold and they said the...

Yes, I have seen the the 5200, but I was a little concerned about it being too good at bonding. For many areas I assumed things are going to flex and having something that can move with joint would be best. I am using Pro Flex by Geocel https://www.geocelusa.com/product/pro-flex-rv-flexible-sealant/...

Thanks Russ, I think you should fix your coach. Our first Born Free was a spotless 2001 24RB, with leveling system, solar, etc. Really well maintained.. but even that had some issue. We bought it in April of 2016. We took our two kids, ages 9 and 11 at the time on a 5 week cross country road trip. 1...
