Wow Muz, sooo envious - we love the Lakes! 4 weeks and we'll be there!

That's sort of what I meant (sorry I wasn't very clear): how long would it take for it to run flat?

How long is it safe to leave the leisure battery connected? We might only use our Bongo once a month or so in winter. Does the same apply for the starter battery?

AL Motors is still in Braintree, it's my brother in law's garage. Say Hi to Kev & Don from me when you go!

So when is the Bored with Butties recipie book coming out?

Fabulous fungi! I'd love to go on one of those Fungus Forays where an expert tells you which ones are good to eat and you cook them up afterwards... could do that in the Bongo!

If it doesn't clash with a wedding we're attending in Las Vegas (!) we'll be there!

On the subject of winter protection, mine will be outside 24/7 as it won't fit in the garage. Does anyone use the Vito van cover that's on sale in the club shop? How good is it and are there any disadvantages eg condensation?

My sister wants me to take her on a girlie road trip in my Bongo, and I'm searching for inspiration... we'd like a campsite with good facilities as she's definitely a 'glamper' not a camper! :lol: Ideally we'd like somewhere under cover to go for the day if the weather is wet/cold, but nothing too a...

A HAMMER

Grr, defeated by the beeps! Had a go at silencing mine, found the connector but can't get it apart! Took three screws out of the cowl but it wouldn't move much and I just can't get my fingers or even a pair of pliers in far enough to get a good grip. Am I missing something?

I've had Boris Bongo for nearly 2 months now, and we've just returned from our first long (6 day) trip away, to Scotland via the Lakes. I thought I'd share a few photos and campsite recommendations with you all. On Weds 28th June we headed for Wasdale and stayed for 2 nights at the Church Stile camp...
