Can anyone recommend a good steering wheel lock which fits the Bongo? Reading this thread has made me a bit twitchy! I'm guessing the type of lock which locks the handbrake to the gearstick will not fit an automatic? I'm favouring a wheel lock, and just wondering which ones fit the larger steering w...

That depends on a number of circumstances. What time of year will you be camping? Will you be sleeping in it? Will it be used just for storage or as a living-space? How many of you in your party? How watertight do you like things to be? Do any of your party have mobility issues? Do you have a dog? ...

Whichever water tank you have - best practice would be to clean with those sterilisation tablets Also, flush some of it through the tap to clean the pipes & tap. Best to also give the end of the pipe a wipe over, with anti-bacterial wipes especially if the water tank and sink haven't been used o...

My mattress came with my van when I bought it. From the thickness, it does seem to be the "proper" one I can put the roof back down easily with it in situ - not tried to do this with the mattress folded, or with the sunroof hatch open... But I'd say close the hatch, and keep the mattress i...

Photos can't be uploaded to the forum but need to be linked to and external server. There are some notes in the FAQs but I never worked it out either. Like your Avatar by the way - looks good...... Ah yes, I realised that just after posting this comment - now I need to set up an imgur account (or s...

This looked so interesting, I ordered some from a shop on ebay. It seems to be called a few different names, e.g. Kandor strip Kador Strip - but it does look as though it will be easier & quicker to detach / attach the awning. So I ordered some. As it happens, I ended up with 2 lots of Fig 8 str...

Given the decent fit of Fig 8 strips on the gutter of the Bongo I intend to leave mine in situ over the Summer months, it will also stop wear to paint on guttering from frequent removal and fitting (hopefully) I had thought about that myself. As you say, one fear is the Fig 8 strips might lead to w...

I got my van converted by Custom Coach Ltd. Of Caldicot in South Wales The guys did a great job. Really pleased with it PS. I store the table behind the drivers seat when not in use - it usually needs something to hold it in place, like a cushion, otherwise, it will slide out when going around corne...

Who ordered the weather? Ah, if only we could...... :) Actually, as someone who knows the area quite well - it seems that the place can have almost a little "micro-climate" of its' own I've headed out in that direction in "inclement" weather, only to find, as soon as you get to ...

Well I'm hoping to make the next Welsh Bongo Bash. I'm not too far down the road (few hours, traffic allowing) - so this will be my "local bash" in future :) I know Pembrokeshire quite well. I've camped there a lot over the years, and took my Bongo "Blodwyn" there last summer, fo...

The strip allows it to be drive away, without the strip it becomes more difficult to remove without either removing the figure of 8 or unpegging the awning. My preference is to forget the figure of 8 altogether, if your awning allows for a pile to fit in a sleeve at the end then you will find that ...

Thanks for the welcome guys :D I did find the info for A & S Motors in the members area That's the only one listed locally - I suppose I was just hoping there would be a couple, or that someone on here had used A&S and would care to share their experiences.... Anyhow, I'm off to explore the ...

Hello everyone, I've only just joined Bongo Fury. Although I've already been to one meet, and bought my Bongo in the middle of last summer... I don't know why, but joining just seemed to keep slipping my mind - perhaps it's a sign of my age! lol I'm just starting to get to grips with this forum - wh...
