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

Earlier I had a problem I e mailed the club about. I mentioned in the e mail that I had called BF and they didn't have an answer. Sometime after that mail, I got a call from BF customer service (Kim I believe) and he had taken the time to research the problem and had an answer for me. Very thoughtfu...

I do a lot of boondocking and use 2 six-volt Trojan batteries (love em!). So far I haven't needed to increase capacity, but if I did I thought I would install a solar panel for recharging rather then additional batteries. Just to help me in my decision process, you obviously prefer the greater numbe...

I wondered what the changes in Garmin GPS have been since the 2610?

Thank you,

For me hooking up the fitting on the outlet and being where I can get a water hose hook up to power the unit and getting out the water hose just seemed to be more time consuming then hooking up the slinky hose. However I don't use the wand to clean the tank each time. If I did the time might be more...

I have the sewer solution product you are considering. From my standpoint I find it is more trouble then it's worth if the dump station is close to where I'm parked. The one place it is really handy is you can utilize a dump location that is not close to your unit. It will move the effluent for many...

Bob I can address the I-75 portion. I live in Tampa, FL and make the trip to Atlanta about once every 6 weeks. I-75 is a pretty good hwy. Several Flying Js and the GA rest areas have dump stations. Traffic on I-75 in Florida is pretty heavy especially at night - heavy big truck traffic. I-475 bypass...

Hi Judy, Good luck on your decision; I hope the new 32' ends up in your drive-way. In about 16 years of regular RVing I have never towed. But.. I tend to move a lot, very seldom am I too long in one place and my rig is only 23', which is pretty maneuverable. It has worked for me for many years. Howe...

Marcia, I saw your post, I enjoy fly fishing - but I don't get to go too much as I still work. I'm in Florida too, Tampa. I would like to discuss some of your fishing trips with you, if you don't mind. If you have time sometime please drop me an e mail. Thanks - Brent My email is - aspivens@aol.com

You know, I think I would like this - provides good info and easy to set up.

I would like to be able to expand the ability of my laptop to pick up distant and weaker signals when using wifi. At radio shack they recommended a more powerful "card" to insert into my laptop. While reading on the net, a common recommendation is the "cantenna" type of antenna. ...

To charge from the coach you don't need to ground?

That's good to know, I've always run a cable to the ground terminals too.

I don't know why BF doesnt have a switch for this situation.

I am an advocate of the 6 volt golf cart style batteries. You will need two of them and they will need to be wired in a series.

The brand I use is Trojan. They are made to withstand heavy use. I've been very pleased with them.

It would be good if the wiring and TV booster was a heavier weight to allow more versatile use of the coach DC plug. The cab accessory plug is 25 amps, I think the rating (at least on mine) on the coach DC plug is 7 or 8 amps. If this were heavier an AC TV could be run off of an inverter just plugge...

1. I try to follow the Ford recommendations for all service (right or wrong I change oil/filter 2,500 - 3,000 miles). 2. I drink out of the water tank so I periodically test and sterilize the tank (2-3 times a year). 3. I run the generator every two - three weeks for a couple of hours under a load a...

I think next time I'll do all vinyl flooring and just use a runner.
