Well this is a coincidence of timing!
12 months ago, I went to the Isle of Man TT with my Bongo (Its first trip there!)
What a wonderful tool for travelling there with loads of gear.
What a wonderful tool for days out in fields watching the races.
The problem was that we got there and the side door ...

Hi folks.

I guess I am not the only one who is waching the weather forecast with increasing despair.
There seems to be wall to wall rain forecast for friday and saturday.
My main concern is over putting my awning tent up for the first time in rain (and probably wind)
Of course, putting up the roof ...

Thanks everyone for the reassurances!
I have just got back from a drive from home in Andover, down to Lyndhurst to get some odds and ends from Leisure Fayre.
What an Aladdins cave!
Bought basic stuff like to toilet chemical, (expensiv) degradable toilet paper, a mallet, a small gas lantern and ...

Crazy!
You are a star!

Diary of a panicking newbie camper!

I have put this in the open forum, AND the Lymington one.

I am preparing for our first nights out in the Bongo.
No big deal you say, but a its going to be at the Lymington gathering,
my first time will be a bit public.
I had hoped to have a "dry run" at a local ...

Praise be to Bongo Fury and its members!
I jus tested my roof for the first time before going away (to the Isle Of Man TT!) on saturday.
It opened ok and we got all excited about it being on, how airy it is and the possibilities of sitin g up there to watch racing.
Imagine my blind panic when I ...

Hi all.

Since posting my earlier message about Britax car seats and the customer services department, I have spoken to the guy who runs the department and showed him my Bongo.
He was impressed with the Bongo idea first of all!
He has agreed to get his guys to run the rule over mine as a guide.

The ...

I probably should keep this quiet, but, hey ho!
I work for Britax (or at least I do until the end of january.)
Now, Britax have an excellent customer services department in Andover.
The company patented a web based tool called "Fit Finder"
How do I know? Well staff in my (I.T.) department created it ...

Thanks for all your help guys!
I am enjoying the club AND the vehicle!
Yes, and starting seems to be pretty good so far.

I feel as if I have bought a class machine.
What my mechanic friend would call "a nice bit of kit!"

As I set this thread running, I thought I would share my experience.
Of driving back from Staines to Andover, this morning.
Clearly the coldest night so far, it was chilly as I climbed up into
my new friend.
It started first turn, which impressed me.
So, I set off towards to M25 for the return ...

I have aircon front and rear.
The temperature is in a digital disply, yes.


Mike

I really feel silly asking this question!

:oops:

I bought my nice shiney silver Bongo on 20th Otober and
have been playing with all the switches since! (Arent there
a lot and what fun?!)
On the journey back from Poole, I had the air conditioning
on and it was fine (hard to believe how warm it ...

Hi everyone,

I am Bongo newbie.
At the moment full of the fisrt flush of excitement.
I am loving just driving the thing!
I believe a bought a good example from The Imperial car Co.
However, I want to get more done to it.
Such as a leisure battery conversion and some thing better as far
as a bed is ...
