Re: Evans waterless coolant

My husband is very keen indeed to try this, but as the Bongo is mine, I'm still waiting for someone else to try it in theirs :roll:

Funny how he thinks the Bongo is the only vehicle in our fleet worthy of the experiment [-X

Re: Is 3 children plus bed possible?

Do you sleep in the awning then? Love the idea of just turning up somewhere, popping the roof and being all set. Is that unrealistic? Sorry to sound a novice but what's a gull seat? Tipping front and rear seats back sounds bumpy and like my wife and I will be sleeping miles from each other. Is that...

Thanks
They're all over the place. Lidl sometimes do them, Halfords probably sell them.

Google "cargo net"

Re: Sleeping up top.

We used ordinary bed boards (two bits of wood cut to fit the space where the roof/floor goes up with about a foot of space at the end for access). Can measure them if you like - they are now sitting redundantly in the garage. We now have the "cat flap" having made a special 500 mile round ...

Booked for Friday and Saturday \:D/

See, we're not avoiding you all really. Really looking forward to catching up with everyone again. It's been too long since we saw any of our Bongo buddies :oops: .

Re: Have a good Bash

Yep, have a good one, guys.

Sorry we won't be joining you this year, but at past Bashes I've always had to ring my Dad to wish him a Happy Birthday. He's 90 this year, so we've decided to stay home (because he didn't want to come to the Bash with us!!)

Re: 12V freezer just for cold blocks - any ideas?

I think what you are looking for will be hideously expensive. Our hideously expensive Waeco CDF-25 will freeze blue blocks and keep them frozen, but even the smallest capacity Waeco CDF, the 11 litre version, will set you back over £250. Back in the old days when we didn't have luxuries (and slept i...

Re: Ignoring the wild camping aspect are campsites too expen

Camping is certainly no longer a cheap option. As with others above, we are members of the Camping & Caravanning Club and use their Certificated Sites (CS) and also take advantage of some of the Temporary Holiday Sites available from time to time. For examply, Hendra Holiday Park at Newquay - al...

Re: sun canopy

To stop water filling up a tarp on top, get an extendible washing line prop then cut a hole in tennis ball and pop it on top. Use that to prop up the tarp in the middle. It might fall over in wind, but should otherwise be held down in place by tarp tension. It's good advice, and works a treat when ...

You still around then? Thought you'd sold your Bongo to someone who doesn't wave :wink: I take it you don't have an instruction book for the MS50? Any more problems, give me a shout and you can borrow mine (although I'm not sure how useful the book is against the usefulness of folk on the forum) PS ...

Depends on where in "the South" you are, but the Webasto website should point you in the right direction http://motorhome.webasto.co.uk/service.html If you're near the coast, you're more likely to find a Webasto repair person at a marina than anywhere else. Mine was installed, and is servi...

I quite like the look of these. £80 though (hence why I haven't bought one yet) http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/outdoor-revolution-easi-canopy-porch-awning.html I like the fact it's got a window! Good to keep an eye on the kids, etc... We've got the older version of this (which wasn't £80) and le...
