- EDITORS NOTE: This Born Free has sold.
This camper belonged to Sam. Sam lived full time in this Class C for over five years. Sam did some very nice modification work to this coach. Sam had a new custom Promaster van built by Humble Road, LLC. Sam decided to sell his beloved Born Free and I offered to help. The Born Free has sold! 👍

WOW the quality looks so nice
Born Free makes a very high quality coach. All fiberglass shell and very strong. The new owner will be very happy with it.
Very nice tour, George, and a lovely van too! Born Free is a quality build among C class vans. Decor is warm and inviting.
I've always liked the Born Free floorplan. That's a clean RV!
WOW !! That is one beautiful class C. it looks brand new. The system he installed is high quality. Well done. Wish I had the money to buy it. Some lucky human will be enjoying that unit very soon. Thanks for the tour.
Very nice Class C! But, my heart is in love with the Class B Promaster! This Rv of Sam’s will be a steal for someone wanting that size of RV, and, having the Victron system and solar panels already installed will be quite advantageous! Thanks for sharing! ~Jim~
Nice condition I like everything but the corner bed setup.
Born Free,Chinook and Pleasure way are the 3 I researched before buying PW made in Canada!
Nice service you are providing, and nice sales video.
Beautiful Class C. Like the desk upgrade. Not much of a fan of the corner bed, but I like the dry bath.....
Its perfect
Very nice unit.
Thanks George! Great job presenting Sam's class C Rv! I'll email you for more detailed information if it's still available. From Downey, CA.
The new MacBook Pros (Pro/Max) are easily powerful enough to outdo any current desktop Mac if you wanted to save space on adding an desk to your build.
They're expensive, but seeing how many videos you post you clearly would get your money's worth and save on space.
Great videos, learning tons and happily stealing ideas for my personal build.
That rig is super clean and well loved. Put me on the list for Sam’s van when he gets a new one from you in 5 yrs cause it’ll still be cherry.
Heartbroken that I only found out about this on Friday. I just wasn’t able to get to NJ in time to buy this rig before it sold. It’s absolutely perfect. When we finally find a Born Free the desk modification and lithium will be the first things we do.
What on earth made him to sell such nice van after living 5 years init, may be he is looking for some off-road and stealth adventure ahead.
Best of luck Sam👍👍
Stealth, unless it's a windowless cargo van with a bulkhead behind the drivers seat and nothing on the roof, is pretty much a fantasy. Cops can spot solar panels and roof vents a mile away, as can anyone looking out the window of their apartment complex you parked in front of, and they know exactly what the van is. Everybody has an IG account and have seen #vanlife trending. There are TV shows about van dwelling on HGTV. There is even a movie(Nomadland) that won Oscars and Golden Globe awards. The proverbial cat is out of the bag.
Also makes city boondocking possible.
I *love* the desk!
Looks a beautiful van. And as you say, technology brought up to date with the Victron installation (I've done the same with my 2008 van with MultiPlus, MPPTs, B2B, Lithium, etc.).
One thing (error) which you are certainly not alone to doing but is an important point .... The Inverter is NOT a 3000 Watt Inverter :(. It is a 2400W Inverter. Victron stated the output in the more technical VAs - Volt-Amps - and not Watts. So the 12/3000/120 is a 12V charger at 120A, but is 2400W (and 3000VA). I fitted the same (but a 230V) 12/3000/120 in my last Camper. I have the 12/1600/70 Multiplus in my current rig. That 12/1600 inverter again is NOT a 1600W inverter, but a 1300W Inverter.
Just need to point this out as, like I said, it is a common mistake and you are so precise with your information generally people take your word as gospel and the mis-info spreads :( (I've installed quite a few of these Victron Multipluses, and spec & supply a lot of Victron kit so am very familiar with their specs).
Great video otherwise and an incredibly clean RV for 16 years old. A real credit to the owner :)
Thank you for the clarification. It is an important piece of information.
Nice rv, but don't want to fight to change the bed sheets.
Clean!
I may not be in the market for that class C, but I will keep my eyes on you, in the future I'd like to buy a class B, just not right now. I LOVE the way you explain how and why you build like you do. And I also loved your cooking videos too, ummm ummm. You keep being well and doing videos, I'll keep watching one day I will buy one of those refurbished rigs, or if able have a new one designed just for me.
AM Solar, is great, I purchased my kit there too.
Honestly, I'd love to see what magic you could do stripping out a class C and redoing it HR style.
please don't give him any idea😀, let him keep the van line. so we can all learn what to do with an empty cargo van.
😄
@@benjamin2677 🤣🤣
my dream is to find a small school bus and have Navigation Nowhere do the outside and George do the inside
No please! Do not work on a Class C. Its like using cheap cloth to make a couture dress. Class C is a cheap box on top of a truck chassis. I have one. Some are better than others but they are all cheaply built affordable entry level RVs. Nice and roomy inside, but the framework is not solid. A Class B van has all metal sides, roof, floor. A Class B is thin plywood over a wood frame structure with a few metal bars, bare minimum to keep it legal. Spending $200K on customization on a rig that you can buy ready made for $80K is not sensible. Plus the gas engine means its dead at 150K miles. Not so with diesel.
I always thought a desk was more important than the kitchen. Also, this van is bonkers good. Why is he even selling it?
Most full timers I have come in contact with end up downsizing as they realize they can do with less.
Born Free is on my short list of used RVs to get - but I'm not in a position to get it right now. :(
Looks nice and well maintained.
yay
Is that original music or CZcams canned music sort of seems like the latter but I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised like most of this channel
Born Free is nothing but quality. Also, if I am not mistaken, it has a closed up fiberglass body. Wonder how many miles? And does he have service records?
The Born Free sold within two days of listing!
George; Sam’s Class C; how much is he asking?
email me with your questions
Hey George !
I responded to the E mail address you provided to inquire about the born free. Did all the inquiries crash your site ? Haven’t heard anything since the initial video was posted.. I know you are busy building….. maybe a quick update about the Born Free details and when it can be checked out in person. 😊
You went right to spam. Sorry
Too bad that bed is super tiny!!! Only big enough for 1 person and a dog.
George, you are down in FL, yes? And Sam got his solar install done in Oregon, yes? How do I find a solar specialist in the Northeast?
Humble Road is located in NJ
You got more info? Price etc. is there an ad?
email me for details
Did he get a new vehicle
I’m building him a new custom Promaster.
Batteries directly under the bed concern me due to the electromagnetic fields' effect on health. Many people are sensitive to EMF's without even knowing. I am one of them.
If you have symptoms of EMF exposure, consider it being the cause.
Anyone can recommend a setup that minimizes that? Does anyone share my concern? Any input is welcomed.
God bless us all.
I had the same thought!
Technically batteries are DC so not really an electromagnetic field. The inverter, on the other hand is AC.
Try to use the least amount of electricity.
Use propane for cooking and water heating.
If your budget allows it, you can make hot water with hydronic heating.
Go all DC power, nothing AC.
Use a small chest style fridge without freezer, because those have the lowest of power consumption.
Wrap wires in tinfoil. And use tinfoil cladding for the box where the electrical devices are.
A dinette / puzzle bed layout would be a good solution for EMF sensitive people.
But the electrical installation mustn't be under the one of the benches as they do most of the time, but somewhere in the front of the living space.
In the dinette set up you'll spend most of your time in the vehicle in the back (sleeping, eating, chilling, working).
if you build the toilet hidden under a bench, then time spend in the back area is further increased.
Then only when driving, cooking, or showering you're closer to the electrical.
But first I would do some health studies. Maybe a light sleep apnea is causing head aches in the morning?
THAT is what’s lacking for me! I would much rather have no stove and, in place of it, have a dedicated desk area! Also, many Class B Transit-chassis vans have long, useless couches running along both sides…such a waste of precious real estate! Only the ProMaster vans have acceptable “table-and-seat” work spaces; BUT #1 on the must-have list of my eventual Class B/B+ rig is the more-nimble power of the AWD Transit. That Ram is too weeny for me.💩😁 I truly hope Sam won’t be totally bummed about the big downgrade from his V10.
sold or not?
Not yet. Are you interested?
Sleeping on top of Li-on batteries would scare the hell out of me. I don’t even leave my cellphone or iPad or laptop on my bed at night. Too paranoid?
Yes, sure.
These types are very safe.
But let's say they were not. Then under the bed would be the best place. Because you would know immediately that there something wrong if it wakes you up, so you can get up safe yourself and do something.
But if it was somewhere else, you would wake up when it's too late to escape.
Yes. And also one for propane leaks.
Some people even put automatic fire extinguishers. Good if you have pets.
The Ex-Paws recently had a electrical fire.
It's good to have inspections once a year.
@@rudivandoornegat2371 i would be scare much more of the radiation coming out of the 3000W huge inverter.
I would be scared more of a drunk driver hitting the back of my vehicle, while I'm sleeping with my head right on the other side of the wall.
@@benjamin2677 electro magnetic waves ..!!! Unless you think they are harmless ?
What is the asking price of said truck?
It's gorgeous design. But for one person I never understand why you put in a great big couch that takes up space that could be utilized for so much more!! Or when a table and two booth-style seats are put in. Again a waste of very valuable space
The couch is a good place to sit and read or use as a guest bed. A booth is a good place to do desk work but this rig has a desk. A booth is not comfortable for a long sit-n-read, IMHO.
@@gblakev I could think of much better options for it sorry do not agree with you at all
George, your anti-propane campaign continues. But how would I use my gas oven if I got rid of my propane tank? And what would I put in the tank's place....Hmm ...?
Well if I could find a solution to keeping my propane powered Easy Bake oven, I bet at least 2 lithium batteries would fit where the tank used to be giving me at least 600 ah total, or 1,000 ah if 2 Lithionics 315 GTX's would fit. Jeeze, I might even be able to use my 24v AC for more than few hours with that much juice. Options.
George, can I have Lithionics and Battleborn's at the same time?
Many prefer a gas flame for cooking. Others have accepted the induction method. It's a personal choice and my position resonates with my clientele. Do not mix battery types. You could, as I will be designing in my next builds; maintain two separate and dedicated battery systems in the coach. Stay tuned!
