Born Free sightings are quite rare so what are the odds of two in the same camp boondocking in south Florida?
The coach to the right is mine and the other belongs to Pat aka deanpscott. He purchased his coach from a member on this forum.

I have a question regarding the Ford F550 truck in the photo and the one owned by John. We also have a coach with the 2015 Ford F550 and have had nothing but trouble since the first year with the service engine warning light. The coach has been serviced 5 times for the problem, at least twice with portions of the emissions system replaced under warranty. In March of 2020, 3 weeks after another repair, the light came on again with a warning that the engine would shut down in 50 miles! Fortunately we were only a few hours from home, found a Ford dealer and could unload all of our stuff and the dog into the car and leave the coach. On the way home from MI this fall, blasted light came on again. We decided to keep going and light went out. 1,000 miles later, it is on again and we are taking it in again. We have tried all if the trouble shooting to no avail. Any experience with this issue? Thanks!

I have not had this issue but emission issues are quite common. I know the sprinters have a lot of them in earlier years.
I would try a different Ford truck place

Thanks, John. Just had it “fixed” again, over $500 and light just came on again. 5 different Ford dealers and 2 truck places have tried to fix it. Will try to find someone at Ford corporate to talk to. Right now it is pretty worthless. Can’t drive it far and sure can’t sell it. Very disappointing.
