Cab Over Twin Bed Conversion in a 2002 Born Free 26 RB Coach

Post by bfadmin »

Over the years there have been multiple discussions regarding modifying the overhead bed to twin beds.

Club member Eric Sandstrom shows in the photo story below how he converted the cab over area in his 2002 Born Free 26' RB motorcoach to twin beds.
