Tyre fill up when loaded?

I'm off on the ferry to France tomorrow and will have a very full and heavy bongo. Should I fill tyres after load up or before I load?
And any tips staying in the south west of France would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bongo lover in Surrey :D :D

Re: Newbie on line....fridge/battery?

No one has come forward from Bongofury but am in contact with a private autoelectric guy but am concerned if he has experience of old Bongos. I've emailed a garage too.
Crossed fingers I get somewhere soon as I'm hoping to go to France in august

I live near Guildford, Surrey.

Re: Newbie on line....fridge/battery?

The lb is sitting under the bonnet with no connections to anything else and looking very old.
I have no idea if I have a split charger or even which zig? Don't know what a wiring loom is.
As you can read....I know not very much at all....this is all new to me and I'm not mechanically or ...

Newbie on line....fridge/battery?

I've just purchased a 1997 bongo. The Waeco fridge works well on electric hook up and off it but the leisure battery does not work or connected. The water pump does not work and the zig ????? No idea. Therefore, whilst parked up with no electric hook up I do not want to put the fridge on as I ...
