Re: Suitable seat covers?

Best place to try I reckon would be town and country:

We looked for a while then decided not to bother as we'd have to cut holes in them for our child seat and for the seat belts.
Front ones are cool though ..... 8)

Re: Small trailer or rear mounted Storage box

Inside, we had the following: 2 burner grill/stove 5kg gas bottle breakdown kit (air compressor, gloves, triangle, oil, wiper blades, bulbs etc etc) Fairly substantial tool kit...

Re: Safe heating for a Bongo when wild camping Is it Possibl

I have two camping trips due in the Bongo, both involving sites without hookups. As the weather has turned cold and looks like getting rapidly worse I m looking for some way to get some heat into the Bongo. I am a born Southerner ie wimp, but my excuse is a bad back that gets worse when cold. I hav...

Re: Day van set up, swivel middle row and a table

Hi Simon,
thanks for the link to the site. I found a place in Southampton today that would supply and fit for £300 which I thought was fairly reasonable.
Just need to find one that has one fitted to get a good look at it.

Day van set up, swivel middle row and a table

I thought I knew what I wanted when I decided to buy a Bongo but after owning VW's for years, I think I have finally decided that a day van approach is a good idea. Originally, I wanted a tintop but after driving a few and chatting to other Bongonauts about practicalities etc and with my experience ...
