We have a 2007 24RB, tow a Toyota Corolla and use the Ready Brake with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar. The first few hook ups were interesting, though not difficult. Now that we have it down to a system, attaching or releasing the car from the BF is as they put it, a piece of cake.

Shortly after we took delivery of our 2004 BFT, one of the day/night window shades lost it's tension and collapsed. Took it to a large RV repair facility, they looked at it and had no idea how to repair it. Someone suggested a furniture/drapery repair shop in town and so we went. The owner came out,...

RV Insurance
A question to Born Free California owners. We live in Northern California and insure our Born Free through Progressive. We recently received our renewal notice with an annual increase of $154.00 which places the annual total at $689. No claims since we started with Progressive. To those owners in Ca...

The Safe-T-Plus steering (silver) mechanism was $450.00. Mounting kit $55.00. Labor $216.00 Considering the change it made in the way the BF handled, it was worth every penny. Two things to consider. One, those are 2007 prices. Second, we had the installation done at a shop which specialized in RVs ...

When we ordered our 24RB, we asked BF to provide some type of barrier to prevent our grandchildren from falling out of the overhead during the night. BF came through, as always, with a mesh net that attaches to two clips on either side and stretches the width of the cabover bed. I would imagine that...

Ron We have a 24RB and initially towed an all wheel drive 2004 Honda CRV. 4 wheels down. While it towed nicely, there are drawbacks. It cannot be towed over 65mph(we never exceed 60 so that was no problem), it must be run for at least 3 minutes before towing, the automatic transmission must be shift...

Being a native Californian and having driven that highway a number of times, both north and south of San Francisco, I will offer a saying that was popular with those of us who drove it. Driving Hwy 1 is more a state of mind than anything else. In other words, if you are going from Point A to Point B...

We have had two Born Free coaches and like many others, we have probably run the gamut in insurance companies. Several years ago we decided we would try Progressive and as of this date we are still with them. We do take the AARP Defensive Driving Course every three years, and on the annual renewal d...

My thanks to those of you who were kind enough to provide information re Coach Net vs Good Sam. We will remain with Coach Net and hope that perhaps some day in the not too distant future, Good Sam will get the message that we are not interested and quit sending us promotional ads re their emergency ...

Coach Net vs Good Sam
We have just received an offer from Good Sam offering Emer Rd Service for only $79.95 for the first year (I'm sure the second & subsequent years will be higher) which is considerably cheaper than Coach Net at $109.50. My inquiry is to anyone who might have first hand knowledge of either of the t...
