Re: internet on the go (again!)
It's expensive, if you are a 'proper' internet user...for us it's emails and minor browsing, we use it for choosing/booking onward sites and booking ferries online to come home..stuff like that (oh yes and for organising alternators to be shipped out to the Alps when it goes kaput!!). I liked the un...

Re: internet on the go (again!)
Nope, I bought it on Amazon, unlocked, so that I could use the roamline card. I have had another month away since, and it still did it's stuff, using roamline when I could not use free wifi.

Camping equipment reviews?
Bongos are not big things, and we search for new ways of space saving on our trips. Would it be an idea to have a reviews section, in much the same way as Amazon, where Bongoliers have purchased items of Bongo interest, and post the review for others. That format would be straight reviews, without t...

Re: internet on the go (again!)
No clue as to speeds, as i just use for browsing and emails, I have found speed/response time does vary, but the sheer convenience to just connect more or less anywhere, and in any country, including gb, is the clincher. the MF60 and roamline can be used with any type of kit so I could take either l...

Re: internet on the go (again!)
I have just come back from a 5 week bongo jaunt across nations (didn't see another bongo at all), using a mobile hotspot (MF60) and a roamline sim, superb, no problems, no barriers and the roamline sim can be used, pay only for what you use, worldwide. Simple, portable, easy, and you can use up to 5...

At £13 a month you get benefits including RAC european recovery cover (any trip up to 45 days at one go) Plus travel insurance from AXA.

the 'sticky' and spare bulbs/fuses
Is the definitive list 'sticky' at the top still up to date? Also I have searched around but cannot find a 'buyable' list for spare bulbs and fuses for the 'old' style Bongo. I can find odd bits, but there seems to be a coding/numbering of bulb types that you need to know, headlight refs H7?H4?. Wha...
