  • Kathy gave me a tour of her Born Free 2009 Casual Elegance 22 foot RV. It's made by Born Free out of Iowa and this B+ RV is built like a yacht. I'm so surprised by the craftsmanship and quality of this Born Free RV with its fiberglass outer exterior including the roof and side steps. I was blown away by Kathy's beautiful RV and the modifications that she made to her RV to tailor it more to her liking and travel style as she travels around the United States this year.
    Kathy also shares her story about being a solo female traveler, her boondocking experiences, the fear that many people get when starting out RVing full time, moochdocking, and Harvest Host locations she has camped at recently.

    ★ My Story
    Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started full time RV living. I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of traveling full time in an RV and creating incredible memories.
    After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B van on a Promaster 2500 chassis. Now in my 4th year of RVing in my camper van, I'm still loving this RV lifestyle and being a digital nomad. I almost always boondock in nature and really enjoy that off grid living.

Iam 60yo and not sure how much traveling I want to do. Your BORN Free home looks very nice. I first thought abought a Nissan cargo van or cargo trailer, but so many rules about where you can stay?? I see women travel by themselves it looks like fun. Born Free looks like it would be good for WA state winters, but Scottsdale, AZ would be nicer for October to May then go to WA for June to September. I live I WA state 2000 to 2001 we had lots of Rain & wind!! I think western WA is pretty, eastern WA more desert like but winters are very cold. Coldest winters are in Nebraska Iowa & Minnesota, so I would say western WA winters are not as cold as midwest winters.

    Loved this!! Beautiful RV and lovely Kathy! I do want to add my thoughts about #2 in the toilet ... gah ... alert ... more about toilet issues than you might want to know! Anyway, I have lived and travelled in my 33 foot Winnebago Adventurer ... 8 months plus full time as well as a lot of 3-4 month, and assorted travels over 16 years. So ... poop does not remain solid if there is plenty of water :) ... and if you routinely dump black and then gray, the gray cleans the hose. I have never had an issue with a smelly hose ... really! And actually, the gray water smells worse than the black. One thing I do, is I do not put tp or anything other than what exits my body into the tank. I have a flip lid waste can, but after adding a bidet attachment to my home toilet, I thought ... huh, I could use the toilet cleaning thing to have bidet in the motorhome ... wash, don't wipe and you will never go back. There ... much, much more than you wanted to know, probably.

      @@AmberJBaldwin I agree 110%, if we all could have had a crystal ball. Everyone including me complains about the high prices of a new campers. There's Born Frees, Scamps, Casida's, Air Streams just to name a few that are being sold 20 years later that at the time seemed over priced for more then then they sold for new just because the roof did not leak and destroy the trailer. Look on Craigslist there's trailers 10 years old being sold as scrap just because of roof leaks.

We'd looked at Bs and considered truck campers but we would have had to buy a truck...So soon we will be driving a 24' Born Free 2006 on a Ford 450, in perfect condition. It's considered a Class C.

    Our first motorhome was a Born Free 24ft Rear Bath. Loved it!! We actually used our bathroom, both for showering and . . . well, you know. Did several years of research before buying it. The build quality and safety features were the deciding points. The founder of Born Free, John Dodgen, and his wife actually rolled their Born Free down an embankment while on a night trip. They were standing by the roadside when the emergency vehicles arrived. Totalled the Born Free, but they were saved by the roll bars. It's so sad that Born Free is no longer in business. :-(
