"My comments are to finalize the blog which my grandson, Brandon, kept from Florida to California.
It was a thirty day trip. We took three Born Free motor coaches with Wanda drivng one, Brandon leading with the gps, and me bringing up the tail.
It was a wonderful trip. In each state we had a rally for owners and prospects to come view the three Born Free models we had on display. We also entertained them with a 'Taste of Iowa' pork barbecue. We sold a few units along the way and many more promised to buy later as has been the case this year, last year, and the previous year.
The Born Frees handled exceptionally well, getting great gas mileage. We travelled very safely inasmuch as each Born Free had three roll bars and has allowed us to advertise the fact that in over 42 years of production there’s never been a fatality to a Born Free owner or occupant.
We pulled our own barbecue which also had a deep freeze on it and carried along our charcoal and hickory wood to make it convenient for us to put on the noon barbecue in a centrally located spot in each state. We did two barbecues in Texas - one in Dallas, one in Austin - both very well attended.
We ended the trip in San Diego where we left our three Born Frees - a 22 foot rear kitchen model, a 24 foot rear bath model, and our new 27 foot rear side bed model. We left our units with Holland Motor Homes in San Diego who was our dealer a few years back. We intend to set them up as our factory direct outlet in Southern California.
We also plan to show our units at the FMCA Western Rally in Indio, California, January 12th through 16th. One of our owners, Bob Newby, is heading up the FMCA rally for the western area this year and due to his personal invitation to come and show and put on a barbecue we decided to do so.
Brandon had a gps which led us to the KOA campgrounds we stayed at each night and had our barbecue the next day or two.
All in all it was a fantastic trip. We travelled over 5,000 miles. the only mishap happening when i backed into an orange post out of my mirror sight at a Walmart.
We flew from San Diego to Omaha, Nebraska where we rented a car and drove to Humboldt - feeling very comfortable back home again.
I want to express our thanks to all those who came to our rallies in each state and extend our best wishes and happy camping!"

What a great adventure you had John. You should be proud of your grandson. He has represented you, your wife and your products well. Perhaps he can fill your shoes should you ever decide to retire! Best of Success Brandon. I know you will succeed in whatever you put your mind to.
A proud Born Free owner
