Born Free RV Custom RV Under 30 Feet 

Thanks Kathy, they seem like a great company to work with and your comment enforces that. Hope you're enjoying the summer with your Born Free!

A home on wheels, I want one!!!!

Great point - its too bad that so many companies feel like they MUST build coaches with slides because we really love how space is used in those without.

We're the Russos .ppllll"l L

We might try to get there at some point. Would be great to see how they're made.

lol - you are some kind of Trekie, you know that? Thanks! Now, on to try and find that sponsor ;)

+We're the Russos Hahaha, I deff take that as a compliment! Im 56 and referred to here among my friends as "NY's OLDEST nerdy teenager"! 🤓😜😎😂

Great point!

Great point, we try to include those specs in most walk throughs but forgot to include them during this one.

We'd love to see one with the Murphy Bed as well.

You're very welcome and glad you enjoyed it. From what we've seen, Born Free makes a great product.

+Paul Wicklund thanks for the suggestion Paul. We will look them up.

We agree - so bummed it was sold, but we need to do a lot more research and searching before we'd be ready to get something else. We love our current coach so no rush to get rid of it.

lol - well when we meet you, we'll have to have a scotch!

roberto abrams what is YOUR fave single malt ?

And no slide! I do not want any slides.

We actually told each other that we thought you'd really like it. I remember you saying the Benz chassis didn't have the capacity you needed. It looks like they can be made with cab over bunks - would be an awesome machine!

Thanks, we'll looking into them!

Yes they are. We were thinking about getting the suspension set up similar to an Earthroamer and then going many more places!

+We're the Russos or tiger adventure vehicles. a cheaper version of an earthroamer.

+CampingwiththeKelly's 👍

Well with slides you have more potential for issues and a heavier coach. We've seen some layouts without them and we like the use of space.

hrmm good question and something to look at next time we go check one out.

aww shame why did they close

SHADOW LIVING nooooooo!! :(

+Kenneth Sievers 👍

For us, its a personal preference. We really don't need the extra space and additional weight / complexity that slides offer and really like floor plans that don't have slides.

thank you.

I agree, slides are just more to break KISS. (and I have seen many broken) I have a 2001 Born Free RSB and being single woman I like simple.

Well Earthroamer is working on what you describe but based on their other rigs, it will probably run about $700k. Keep in mind, most Ford dealerships will not touch a RV, even if it is built on their chassis. There might be some exceptions but our current RV is built on the F53 chassis and Ford won't touch it.

Earthroamer is to offroad centric for me. Wow! I did not know that was the case with Class A's but then again it would probably be a lack of access that's the issue. There are lots of products out there that are close to what I want. More function over form unfortunately usually that means $$$$. Things are changing so, about the time I am starting to have my parts replaced, I will probably see what I want in an RV. An RV is a dream to fixed compared to the human body. Parts often don't fit properly even if you can find them at all, no warranty after it's start moving air through it's intake, really expensive mechanics, but the support staff are much nicer (nurses). Bornfree has the right idea, just need to get it's marketing out of the last century.

Just remember that life is a sexually transmitted disease with 100% mortality rate so enjoy it while you have it! I really want any new rig we get to be all diesel...even the stove.

Not so sure about the stove as I have heard many times they just don't burn hot enough and definitely not hot enough to get rid of VD. They use them a lot in the marine industry. Propane has still got some pretty good uses and it's used daily by people who would buy swampland in FL. and they still don't blow themselves up. If you look at the orifices (no not that one) on a natural gas bbq and then look at the ones on a propane bbq you will see that the former has HUGE ones because there is not as much energy in CH3 compared to propane. Propane is a byproduct of Gasoline production so in a sense it's more green than people realize. Diesel oddly enough takes less processing than gasoline yet often is more expensive. We have had shortage here over the years of diesel but that should change as they are building a diesel speicific refinery here. In some ways the USA is more dependent on diesel than most people think. Up north of the 49th pretty much all frieght moves east-west. That makes the cheapest way of transportting goods (trains) much more usable. The US moves frieight in every direction so trucks are king.

oookkkk

Yes, the first one only had the convertible couch.

WARRIOR FOR TRUTH You don’t realize the quality of these RV’s until you see one in person. They hold their value because of it. Well worth the money!

I believe they sold it for just over $100k

Yeah - I don't know where that was coming from and wasn't able to remove it from the audio while editing.

sometimes there is interference from a phone or other transmitting device close to the camera..

I think there might have been something in the coach causing the interference. I don't remember hearing it when we were there so I'm assuming this was something the mic was doing.

Interesting concept about going to "open houses". What we'd love to find are some tiny houses we can tour and take a few notes from them as to how they do things.

Yeah, I have seen some of the cutest and most innovative tiny homes on tv :D You inspired me to do a google search... I didn't spend much time, but here is a link to a company that has tiny home workshops... just a thought :) www.tumbleweedhouses.com/pages/workshops

Great - thanks for the link...oh another rabbit hole to go down :)

Lol, oh you know, wherever the wind blows...

Thanks, we'll take a look at them as we're going to be in that area of CA in Sept.

Hey John - They sold the unit right before we saw it. Not sure what it went for, probably over $100K?

100 kkkkk wow

The couch converts into a walk around queen - so the living room area is also the bedroom. When you have coaches this size (24') many do not have separate rooms like the larger coaches do.

We'd prefer not to have them because we feel there are less issues when you have fewer moving parts. Also, we boondock a lot in places where we are unable to put our slides out - also less weight.

We didn't see one in there.

I believe they sold that used Super C for just over $100k

I believe they sold it for just over $100k

+Pretty in Pink it was the pullout couch

+Ray Sater right now they are currently selling the 2017's so the RV in the video was originally sold in 2012.

+Ray Sater will do. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍

Since the couch becomes a walk around queen, it would be enough room for two.

+vegasdavetv 😜 you're totally missing out
