 

If your Born Free is equipped with Liquid 
Spring, do not turn the ignition key to the on 
position if anyone or anything is under the 
coach. Turning the ignition key to the on 
position activates the Liquid Spring system 
and it may adjust the height of the coach when 
activated. This could result in injury or 
damage to anyone or anything under the 
coach.

 

 

 

Every Born Free Motorcoach has an onboard 
water pump system.  Unlike the city water 
coming into your home, you have the ability 
(in your motorcoach) to shut your system off 
with a switch.

 

 

RV’s have numerous plastic fittings and lines, 
which, when put together, make up the water 
system.  You should never leave your water 
pump on when the motorcoach is in motion.  If 
a fitting or line should break due to the stress 
of some poorer roads, you may not hear the 
pump running above the engine or radio.  If a 
leak should occur, you could experience water 
damage in your coach.  The risk of this 
happening is slight, but better safe than sorry.

 

 

We also recommend turning

 off your pump 

when you leave your vehicle for any length 
of time

.  Small drips can occur, just like in 

your home plumbing, around faucets and 
drains.  If the pump is left on, the pressurized 
water system will continue to leak in your 
absence.  When you are in the vehicle you will 
hear the pump run for a second or two; this is a 
telltale sign that there is a leak.  To avoid 
problems, periodic inspections of the drain p

-

traps, faucet connections, and water line 
connections are recommended.

 

 

Note:  Plumbing fittings may loosen or even 
break under certain road conditions.  It is 
critical you follow these guidelines.

 

 

We strive to use the very best products 
available in the manufacture of Born Free 
Motorcoaches.  We feel our plumbing system 
is superior to other brands, but we also want 

you, the owner, to be aware of potential 
problem areas and take the necessary 
precautions to avoid them.

 

 

Please feel free to contact Born Free 
Motorcoach’s Customer Support Division with 
any questions or concerns.
