I have a 24' 2013 Born Free. I bottomed out at the bottom of my driveway. I can't go in at an angle...live off a country road. I have little rollers under the back of the frame...they took most of the punishment, but the driver's side of the rear bumper also got scratched. I will probably see about the skid rollers being moved towards the bumper. What are solutions out there???

What are solutions out there???I don't have help for you but I bottomed out just once at a campground worst part I knew it was going to happen as the asphalt in front if site was wrecked for dozens of others before us. I should have backed out.It completely freaked me out at the time it happened.

On Our DSDP ,I had an Auxilliary height adjustment Valve added to the Rear Suspension. When it looks like I am going to bottom out I just flick a toggle on the Dash to raise the Rear by an additional three inches!It works like a charm!

What are solutions out there???On a Born Free, the older-style larger drag wheels weren't very attractive to look at, but they're actually functional, unlike the itsy-bitsy steel rollers that Born Free has been putting on their coaches for 3-4 years now. Get the old-style, larger drag wheels installed.

Fix the driveway ??My Bro has a really sucked driveway, and he always throws a couple 2x6'ers down when I come every 5 yrs.

I use four sections when getting my 5'vr in and out our driveway.MarshaNichols - skid roller will just allow even less clearance. IMHO, not a good solution.The other poster had very good ideas for proper solutions.
