Has anyone seen what the Born Free RV buildings in Humboldt, Iowa are being utilized as? Since the founder and his son of Born Free passed away a few years ago, the company got shuttered in May of 2017. Just wondering if RVs are being manufactured there these days. Considering a new Class C purchase, and probably will go with a Winnebago from Lichtsinn, in Forest City, Iowa.
I kindly advise not to give up hope on a new quality-made rig. Yes Winnebagos are decent, but there are a number of good quality brands to consider. Don't just blindly buy without doing your research. You don't want to have buyer's remorse. With the internet, you can cover a lot of ground in the comfort of your home.
List the essentials of what a rig absolutely must provide you, then go from there. Must you have the huge bed over the van? Must you have both a couch and a dinette? Must you have a walk-around queen bed? Do you have a limit on over-all length? Things like that.
My wife and I did just that in 2006/2007 and we ended up with a Phoenix Cruiser. Our rig can be seen by CLICKING HERE.
