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

Any words of wisdom? My first RV ever. Need advice...Driving, mechanics, etc. Will be flying back to Philadelphia, PA . Seller is about 30 miles away and then we will drive back to CA, mainly along Hwy. 80. Some 2,787 miles as per mapquest. The BF I am purchasing, is advertised here at the Forum. To...

I am new to RVing and buying a BF. Who all has had a leak at the seam, and what did you do about it? By the seams, I am talking about the joints of the various fiberglass components of the outer shell. Or maybe nobody has had any leaks? Plus.. is there any preventative measures, one can take, to not...

I read the previous discussion regarding the "ruff rear end ride". I am looking at a used 2011 BF.... has the 350 chassis. What is the difference between the 2 chassis? So.... some of the longer BF's have the 450 chassis? And the shorter ones have the 350? Thanks... this will be my first M...

Thanks Charles, looks really really nice.
Only one question, where is the dining table and chairs?
Is it anything like your BF regarding dining?

I talked to Ed at BF.
He said hopefully info would be available in July.

Also he said they were thinking of going to the Pomona RV Show in CA.
I think this show is in the Fall.

I called BF and talked to Ed. Walls have R value of approx. 18. I may not have this construction 100% correct, but this from my notes: 3/16" fiberglass ext. Vapor barrier... foil faces inside of fiberglass. Has air bubbles, white plastic on other face. Wood stud walls.. 2x4 laid flat or 2x2 glu...

I looking to buy. My first RV ever. Looking at a 2010 and a 2011. Both 22 foot. And almost ready to buy. How much and what type of insulation do they have? Read somewhere 1/4" foilbacked. If this is true, seems thin. How is the interior constructed/ and whats inside..wood studs? .. to attach th...

thanks everyone. Something to think about... the one in FL. So.... am going to send Charles an email. Also thanks Mike.... he is only 20 miles from me and been lots of help. But the BF I found is back on the east coast. 22 foot side kitchen, only 4000 miles. It is a 2011. No Generator. A big neg, fo...

found this on the Triple E

Never heard of this brand.
Looks to be in the same price rang of BF.

Thanks !!

It is a 2011 22 foot. Rear side kitchen. OH bed. So what options am I looking at, to add a Generator? Appreciate any comments for anything from a small bumper mount Honda Generator, to installing something that would be done at the factory. And how much is going to cast me !! ?? I am a real dummy to...

thanks... but looks like it doesn't exist/ or is used anymore.

The current posts are like junk mail, trying to sell you something.

So, I guess the consensuses of the group, is I don't have to worry about the full body paint pealing.

mockturtle, since you are in WA, I have heard good things of this place in OR. http://www.amsolar.com/ I read the Lazy Daze forum. LD comes with one solar panel included in the base price. New owners are deleting this panel for credit and taking their new LD to amsolar to have their solar panels ins...

Sorry about the name Coach House, I assumed everyone would have know what I was talking about. I am on the west coast and notice most BF's for sale are back east. I like the idea of the fiberglass body. Coach house is made in FL and the body is all one piece vs the BF made in sections. http://www.co...

As some of you may know, I am looking to buy my first MH ever.
In addition to the BF's, I have been looking at a 2008 Coach House.
They are really a Class B plus.
But all fiberglass like the Born Free.

Any comments on the differences/ ideas/ suggestions?
Both have the Ford V10.
