Re: Solar set-up Advice
The controllers/regulators won't allow the voltage across the batteries to exceed the maximum for charging, they simply reduce the amount of current they contribute to the overall charging so neither battery at any time will be overcharged. How can the MPPT know how much current or voltage thats co...

Re: Solar set-up Advice
Yes you can wire direct to the LB, that's what the controller handles, it can also have other power sources charging the battery as well, in my case the EHU Charger and a Split Charge Relay all three sources are in parallel and which ever one has adequate power will provide the power. I hope you do...

Solar set-up Advice
Hi, Planning on using my Bongo prettymuch all summer this year and will be spending a bit of time off-grid so wanted to explore some solar options. I have done some research online with different youtube videos and so far I understand that I’ll need a panel and a solar charge controller. Was thinkin...

Re: Roof Rails for Bongo
Surely better with a tow-ball mounted rack and large box, or even a trailer. How are you going to access a roof box? Bongos fuel economy is bad enough already. If you insist, then it's something bespoke or its back to the seventies and those style of bars that clamp to the vehicle gutters, but in m...

Re: Roof Motors Advice - Bongo 2.5TD 1999
Sorry mate I couldn't tell you for certain if they're the originals but considering its only been in this country three years and with 60k miles I assume they're all original parts, I can raise it in the morning and check for the numbers if you like, I'll post the results afterwards. I ended up buy...

Re: Roof Motors Advice - Bongo 2.5TD 1999
Mines also a 2.5 diesel with AFT and last weekend was the first time since we tried it out when we bought it that we used the roof and its the same as yours regarding the bleeping continuing once the roof is fully up and ours was full up as the tent portion was taut. When we started the engine on l...

Re: Roof Motors Advice - Bongo 2.5TD 1999
Not sure its possible to diagnose remotely, I suspect you really need to compare parts:- Tent, Roof itself, sliders, cantilever arms, gas struts and see what is what. I guess you must have an Aero tent, but maybe its the shorter gas struts that aren't allowing it to go fully up, or its mismash of p...

Re: Roof Motors Advice - Bongo 2.5TD 1999
A bit more complicated than this, the older roof cantilever sliders that do the raising are different from the later Aero design as they (the aero ones) had to reach 3" higher in the same length of travel, but in the lowered position couldn't be any longer than the original ones in order to fi...

Re: Roof Motors Advice - Bongo 2.5TD 1999
Yes that is definitely a case of a newer model tent having been put on an older roof :-) Been there done that myself! Ended up being able to exchange it with someone who had the reverse combination so we both ended up with the right sizes! That doesn't however explain the beeping continuing, but I ...
