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

When I allow air to escape from my water lines (through the kitchen or bath spigot) it usually sets off the propane leak detector. I would appreciate any thoughts and comments. I have experienced this event in multiple motor homes. Thanks.

In two previous coaches I've had a similar leak through the roof air conditioner. In each case a 1/4 turn of the two bolts tightened the unit down on the gasket to stop the leaks.

If the fridge is on the opposite side of the motorhome from the gasoline fill, how likely is an ignition of gasoline vapors with the fridge not turned off. Just wondering..... Thanks.

"We're more surprised at the apparent disappearance of the BFT rear-entry floor plans, especially the 20-21' model."

I was told (unofficially) the 22RSK plan cut into the sales of the rear entry floorplan. Perhaps the new 23FL plan also hurt the rear entry sales.

An article in the March-April edition of "RV Business" says Ford will "discontinue the E-Series chassis late next year".

I really enjoyed the video Steve. It's a view of Americana through my parents eyes (born in 1908 & 1913). Thanks!

I've learned a lot! Thanks for the explanations everyone.

So what is the advantage of a catalytic heater vs. the RV furnace?

I can do a pretty good job with a small damp towel and a product, "Quik Mist & Wipe Detailer", available at auto parts stores Advance, Auto Zone, etc. If the BF is particularly dirty I may use a bucket to rinse the small towel. Afterwards, with Windex on the windows and some detailing ...

Sam: Mel's equipment doesn't sound "compact", as I noted in my original posting. But it does sound INTERESTING!

Thanks for the explanation

I didn't see the words, "motor home", in the article. Is the new Ford Transit chassis intended for motor homes?
