I am looking at a 1992 26 ft, rear side bed Born Free. Yes, bigger than a B, but to my eye, it doesn't look like the average Class C either. Sleek all fiberglass body and interesting cabover.
It has a great floor plan, with sofa and chairs for 4 adults, a permanent bed, tall shower, reasonable kitchen space, lots of closet and drawer space.
I am having a mechanic look at the motor/transmission as it has -gulp- 125,000 miles on it. Am I crazy to consider buying a unit with that many miles? My Honda Accord has 186000 miles, but....
Any experience/advice re a Ford 460 with high miles? It starts easily and runs well, although it feels twice as heavy as my Class B. Can one really adjust to only going 55 ??? It seemed like it didn't really want to go 65. It did feel solid and !NO squeaks or rattles, so that was encouraging.
