Late reply, but from Nottingham the East Coast is easily accessible.. it can be a bit of a hark back to the old days of British holidays, but places like Mablethorpe can still be fun for youngsters.
There’s a big beach and all the usual cliche seaside ‘attractions’, on a sunny day there’s little ...

Booked to return this year..
Will be removing the seats and rolling our Moto Guzzi in the back again.. fingers crossed for good weather

Happy Merry to y’all…

(@g8dhe - So far as many more.. I reckon I’m currently 80+% through my allotted Christmas’s, we’ll see )

Welcome, hope you enjoy the trip..
Whereabouts in the world are you based.?

Hey Ian, wanted to thank you for your efforts in organising events (I know other have also so thanks to them too).
Enjoyed meeting your good self and few other Bongo Barmpots

All packed and ready to roll for BongoFest South West in Looe tomorrow, weather looks (mostly) promising, see you there folks.
Safe travels

Have received the meet details now, thanks Ian.

I note there’s no planned ‘events’, but wondered if there might be an opportunity for an informal ‘knowledge sharing’ session.?
I’m guessing I may not be alone in being relatively new to Bongo’s, so any chance to get info and Top-Tips from ‘the ...

Have I missed them, or can you assist/update.

An email with the info would be fine.

Cheers, Mick

What.. you can’t condemn an article of such national significance to landfill..
Get it to the Repair Shop, they’ll sort it
Or better still, frame it and hang it on you living room wall as a reminder of all the good times you’ve had over the years in ya Bongo

Oohh, that looks like a potential pain.
In such cases I search for the best fitting screwdriver I can find, and applying as much ‘push down pressure’ as I can, I carefully try to get it moving.
Again, I also find a well place whack or two before hand, carefully applied obviously, can assist in ...

Thanks again Geoff..
I see, the switches are a bit like those for the light on my landing, they can affect each other.
I reckon I’ll go for the ‘analogue option’.. I’ll leave it be and simply get maself a stick-on blind to keep out the light.

Thanks Geoff.

I assume that would mean all blinds are powered from the leisure battery at all times.?
I’m also guessing the switch on is on the earth side of the circuit.?
And if I were to lazily attach a feed from the leisure battery to blind positive side with the existing supply still in place ...

Hey folks, I wondered if anyone had wired up their electric blinds to allow them to be operated with the ignition off.?

I’ve got into the routine of closing three of mine, then climbing in and manually pulling down the one for the side door, but ideally I would like to be able to move that one with ...

In my experience (with motorcycles anyhow) yes, they usually have a tab to hold them in position.
I’m sure someone will come along shortly to advise whether this is the case for the Bongo too.
