What problems/issues have you had with your Born Free?

I have owned a Born Free for over 10 years, and the one issue my coach seems to have on an ongoing basis is many roof and side seam and compartment doors that leak rainwater.

I have taken my coach to the Born Free factory at great expense, and am finding that the same area they worked on, started leaking water again in a matter of months.

I am wondering of other Born Free owners have issues that remain unsolved too?

Thanks for any constructive fixit advise!

    For more information. I have owned a 2008 RB for only several months, no problems so far.

    Traditional awning mountings are horrible as far as sealing against water. Horrible.

    My side entrance door leaked for years,I thought.I changed door seal,adjusted the door many times.Final solution# the mounting screws above the awning came loose.I replaced them with stainless steel screws
    one size larger and resealed the seam,problem solved.

    If you can post some photos of the problem areas, that would be a big help and could generate more accurate advice.
