We just purchased the Magellan RoadMate Pro 9165T. This comes with the Good Sam Trailer Life Directory built in to the mapping program. We haven't road tested it yet but we've been checking out the features of this unit. It has Good Sam, private and public campgrounds listed. It has all of the Campi...

I set my home diesel gen-set with a Kill-a-Watt to 60Hz and it is accurate.

We have the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain towbar: http://www.roadmasterinc.com/products/towbars/falconat.html and the BrakeMaster braking system: http://www.roadmasterinc.com/products/braking/brakemaster/brake_m.html this setup only takes about 10 minutes for setup and 5 minutes for takedown. The Br...

dsfriday, lots of factors involved for TV antennas, I have the same problem as you with our Winegard Sensar III, I do NOT have the UHF adapter to get a better signal (no room) but you need to get your antenna as high as possible on the coach. I would like to think the "Jack" by King Contro...

Here's a couple of URL's that might help you with your reception or give you an idea of how your reception will be.

I don't see how it would be an improvement over the Sensar 3(amplified) bat wing antenna. All antennas are both analog and digital so part of it sounds like advertising hype.

We have the 2005 24RB with V10 and are getting 9.5 to 10 mpg, we are still returning home from Creede. We get this mileage while towing a Jeep Liberty. I drive from 55 to 58 mph, I think if you drive faster your mileage will be lower. We are retired so we can afford to spend an extra 15 minutes driv...

Well we left Sequim,Wa. and only saw two Born Free's in Bryce Canyon, one at the campground and the other at Ruby's Inn. We are currently in Durango, CO and will be at Creede tomorrow ( Sat) , we saw another BF from Texas today near the Durango Walmart.

We have a 2005 24RB and do not have the "banging" you describe, we tow a Jeep Liberty so maybe that helps in smoothing out the ride and I suppose the roads are better out here in the West. We also drive at 55mph.

Same length, no change!

Ann, I replaced our (2) 12vdc Interstates with (2) 6Vdc Trojan T125's, they are a little higher but fit fine. Here are a couple of pics showing before and after, I did switch to the newer style battery tray.

I installed a Sony Bravia 19" LCD TV in our 2005 24RB two years ago and we have not had any problems with the mounting. I did a writeup for the coach modifications section: http://www.bornfreervclub.org/bulletin_board/viewtopic.php?t=1689 you can read about it and draw your own conclusions. I a...

Bob, I have pulled a number of wires across the ceiling. I use a 6' length of fiberglass rod 1/4" dia. (purchased from electrical dept of Home Depot) and found you can push/pull wire along the ceiling where it curves, there is a small amount of space in the curve near the ceiling(the ceiling ma...

I have installed the 3 stage charger. I pick up two Trojan T125 6v Plus batteries tomorrow and had already ordered the new EZ Battery tray from Kim at BF. I based this on the project that Barb and Bill have done with their batteries.
