Maybe a bargain, maybe a nightmare, but it's FREE!

Excellent thought. No point in spending $$ & time getting it running or having it towed home if you're going to have to surrender it.

The front is a window. Born Free stopped putting the window in several years ago because of problems with leaks.

Biggest problem I see is "no title." The CL ad says "title clean" but the text indicates "abandoned on property."

Without the help of a "fixer" it could be difficult-to-impossible to Title/Register/Tag this thing.

It's a Born Free.

If you could come up with a title as suggested I could jump on that if local. That is a perfect size RV for a lot of things. It was no el cheapo either for its looks.

Does anybody know if that black on the overcab is a tinted plastic window, or just black paint? If it's plastic / plexiglass, I wonder if BF has replacements still available and at what $$ if it cracks.

That would be the first obstacle I could see to a low-bucks DIY fix-up. I've seen a couple of old Sunraders Toyotas here in the SE mountains with really f'ugly rough DIY fiberglass replacing smaller curved but no-longer-available plexi cabover windows.

Looks like a Born Free coach
