Born Free Mini 20'

Post by Peter Robinson »

Anyone know where to find a "true" 2010-2011 20' Born Free mini? (10 th VIN digit indicates year of Ford chassis, so a 9 in this position is a 2009 chassis, an A is a 2010, B is a 2011and so on). Looking for a mini with twin incline beds not jacknife sofa(s) and a 2 door fridge/freezer, roof AC, and a generator? 2009 is the first year that had both Ford's restyled grill, and restyled cab interior + some brake and suspension enhancements but 2009 minis were pretty minimally furnished generally when sold by Born Free.

Rv Trader has one.
Not sure if it meets all your criteria.

Also you can search Craigs nationwide by using adhuntr.com
Also place a want ad.

Sorry but the 10th digit of the Ford chassis VIN # has nothing to do with the length of the completed motorhome body built on the chassis by Born Free.

Tenth digit of the Ford chassis VIN is the year of that chassis, never intended to suggest it was the length of the motorhome. 9 is a 2009, A is 2010, B is a 2011. Have edited post to make it more clear. Sorry for the confusion.

Wow ran into first born free we have ever seen on the road. While climbing on rt 321 between lenoir nc and blue ridge parkway. We pulled next to a c class Rv which much to our suprise turned out to be a 24ft. We made up a hasty sign identifying us as BF owners and gave them a honk and a thumbs up. I guess I should clarify by saying we were traveling using our toad and did not have our bf with us they did not pull off and we exited to shop in blowing rock. My guess is they exited a few miles further to ride th blue ridge pkwy. Would have enjoyed meeting the
