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

Recently sold a 2007 32 President which was advertised as a wide body. Which means it was 102 inches wide not 96. Have been checking out newer used coaches. One is a 2016 25 Spirit. Question is whether BF widened later coaches to 102 inches or stayed with 96? Would appreciate any answers. Thank you.

Greetings. Does anyone know where damaged awning parts can be purchased? Have subject awning on our 07 32 Born Free. The non power side was damage, i.e., the aluminum pieces which fold. So far seems Dometic no longer makes the awning and parts are not available either. Awning is 20' and acrylic. Not...

Met you at the Florida Rolling Rally last March. You are such nice folks, sorry was your last rally. Anyway it was a pleasure meeting you and hope you love your new home.

There was an ad recently for a fairly new Born Free that mentioned the factory would pay half of the cost of the 2017 Alaska trip for the buyer. But there is no information on 2017 rallies on this site. Does anyone know who to contact regarding the 2017 Alaska trip? And if anyone has participated in...

The tire design is a huge factor. I had Goodyear original tires on my 32 Birn Free President. As they were 10 years old, even tho showing no deterioration, I replaced them with Chinese Hercules tires. I immediately noticed that it was necessary to steer more actively as the coach did not steer as tr...

I had the same tires on an earlier Born Free. Worked well, no problems. After 40K miles, the tread was almost like new.

Yes, different. The single long strap is one adjustment. There are big hooks for the two straps on the other end. The hooks can be attached at the end of the straps or 3 steps higher which shortens the entire tie down strap. Well I took a photo which would make it easy to see, but don't know how to ...

There is an adjustment on the straps for securing wheel which I did not notice. Adjustable to fit from 13 inch wheel up to 19 inch I think. Anyway, very well thought out. And.....I have no financial interest in the company. Just passing along my experience.

Used the ACME EZE tow dolly for the first time behind the BF 32 President, just a short test drive. Hardly knew the Prius and dolly were there. However, the tie down straps are too long to cinch the car front wheels as tight as they should be. Will call manufacturer tomorrow and see what gives. The ...

That's another way of describing my concern. All other dollies have a swivel plate. There is little stress on car front wheels and suspension on a swivel plate dolly. Haven't used new dolly yet and Roger has a '10 Prius same as me and reports no problems. That the straps need recinching after a few ...

Have had several tow dollies over the years. But now my toad has been given last rites, it's back to a tow dolly with a different car. All previous dollies were similar in that the car was tied down to a plate that swivels during turns. And the steering wheels was locked. However, just ordered a dol...

How did you not get stuck in the sand?

Roger, You are the resident Kodiak guru. Have electrical problem with mine. Bath wall outlet doesn't work. In messing with it, two other outlets quit. The breakers in question are all 20 amp with push to test button. The breakers are all Cutter-Hammer. Probably same in your coach. In VA now and loca...

Brakes are designed to make noise when the pads are worn down and need replacing. So the noise you hear is the brakes telling you to have them serviced now. If you wait too long, the rotors will be worn to the point they have to be replaced, not just machined.
