Born Free

Does anyone know anything about the Born Free for 2. I am looking at one online and there aren't may pictures. I'm assuming the couch folds down to a bed. Nice looking rig, just looking for any help
  • There used to be an active RV club for Born Free owners called Leap'n Lions:

    Leap N Lions

    Don't know if they're still active, but they could likely answer all your questions.
  • Born Free for 2 is a Class C. You might get more information there.
  • Phoenix Cruiser has a used one for sale on their website (phoenixusarv.com). Look under the Inventory section and scroll down to Used. It's a 2012 and has lots of pictures and a video and shows the couch opened.

    The Built for 2 (BFT) model was one of the most compact (21-22') and most straight-forward models BF built. It features a simple design -- living / dining room with either a jackknife sofa bed or single beds on either side of the center aisle, a small but efficient galley kitchen, and a "wet bath" combination bathroom & shower. Some designs featured a rear door, rather than a side door, which became the basis for our custom floorplan when we had BF build our wheelchair accessible "Mobility RV". (Look for floorplan #3)

    The Leap'n Lions web site is very active, and we'll be glad to help you. Several of our members still have BFT's. Also, this link has a 2008 factory brochure with the BFT on the first 2 pages.

    When the latest generation of Dodgens took over BF management, one of their first changes was to "update" the brand's image with new, more modern interior designs. As a result, the simplistic BFT was replaced with the "Jewel", with a side door replacing the center aisle and rear door floorplan.

    Despite these changes (which are, albeit, attractive), one thing has never changed -- the Born Free quality design and construction. That's why these classic Class C units remain a good used RV buy, if their owners have maintained them.
  • From what I can tell, this appears to have two plush leather chairs on the passenger and a leather jack-knife sofa. I'm intrigued. Gorgeous unit. If the jack-knife is comfortable, I could be in trouble.

    Thanks for your replys
