I would check with motorhomes of Texas. They became a dealer for them or check with Anceria as they two were a dealer. One or the other can source the parts I would think.

Walt's RV in Corona Ca. is an interesting place. It is an indoor collection of various RV items in large boxes or in a pile. You name it and they have it. I believe they have and do continue to purchase items that may have been removed to upgrade as well as new stuff. Rv inventories from failed dealerships or what have you. Where is it in their warehouse? Who knows but it is a treasure to explore.

Does anyone know if Kim Olson, Customer Service Rep. at Born Free for 30+ years, is still in the RV business?


Its page 4 of this post It does not appear that anyone here knows.
If you are seriously trying to find him , go see a private investigator who is licensed to do searches with software thats not avl to you or anyone else.

Thanks, but the RV industry is where I choose to look. Since that is the industry focused on here.

Your stainless steel fuel tank was a Ford product not a Born Free product. Since your tank was made out of stainless steel how in the heck did you get it to rust? Stainless steel in normally extremely rust resistant.
I wish we knew; "how it rusted out."

Fact is, that it's not a one off case. I visited in-person with a FoMoCo marketing dept. longtime Detroit, MI Ford Truck expert, and he knew of other like cases having happened.

So, yes, it's possible that Born Free manufacturer had something to do with it.
BTW, the entire inside of the OEM tank was coated in rust. I inspected it before authorizing a new replacement was installed.

Kim posted something in the born free page on Facebook a bit ago. I did not see it soon enough to reach out to him

I have a 2002 24RB and am trying to find out what standard factory equipment came with it when it rolled out the door. The only way to price it is to determine that and then add any equipment that had been installed after that, either by the factory or by a private owner. Trying to get the correct NADA pricing for insurance purposes.

Thanks Much for any and all info provided. Dave
