Hi,
I hope somebody can help me. I am looking to buy an awning for a Bongo I hope to pick up next weekend. It is a Kampa Travel pod midi and I have found a very very well priced new one and it seems to suit our needs well, but I have to buy it soon as it is the last one left.
It states that it fits rails up to 190cm. Would this fit on a 2002 tintop? I have no idea how high the awning rails are on Bongo.
Thanks for you help in advance.

Re: Awning rail height
Hopefully someone with a tintop or knowledge of whether all bongo rails are at similar height whatever age will be along soon to help.
I suspect that awning would be fine. I have just measured the height of the rail/gutter on my '96 AFT and it is 179cm off the ground, so unless Bongo heights vary much (and it could be 11cm higher and still be OK for a fit) I can't see a problem.
If you're not sure, can you get the person you are buying the bongo from to measure the height of the rail for you?

Keep Calm and Bongo On!
Re: Awning rail height
Just measured mine. 180cm at the B post and 185 at the very rear. I have aftermarket 17" wheels but the diameter is pretty close to standard fitment. I'd guess that you shouldn't have any problem staying within 190cm.

Re: Awning rail height
Thank you both. Got the awning, think it will fit fine. I was going to email the guy I'm buying it off but hassled him enough . I appreciate the replies.
Re: Awning rail height
How did you get on with this awning? I went to the NEC yesterday and was also interested in this type.
