Re: Homemade bedboards and platform removal
I do mean the AFT fabric. Obviously, it's only while they are in transit, and not in use as bed boards. I suppose I should try and stop them from sliding about (which is, I imagine, what they have been doing) or wrap them in a blanket or something so that. I'm reasonably sure that it's probably the...

Re: Tour of the Hebrides
Lovely pictures, looks like you went to many of the same places we did. Two weeks of touring round proved to us that the bongo is the perfect vehicle to do it in (and having a cobb to cook on helps :D :D ) Can't wait to go back next summer, and considering the terrible weather we had it hasn't put u...

Re: Another Hebrides trip
I guess if the weather was always good, everyone would go there, and we'd have had to share the beaches!brorabongo wrote:Pity the weather was'nt better for youse though.

Another Hebrides trip

We've just come back from touring Barra, Uist, Benbecula, Harris, Lewis and Skye and would go back tomorrow! The weather was iffy, had to put the roof down a couple of times in the e...

Re: Team Muz Highlands & Islands Tour 2009
Amazing pictures, we're just back from our Hebrides tour - Oban - Barra - Uist - Harris - Lewis - Skye and back to Mallaig and Fort William for a trip on the Jacobite (2500 km). It's an amazing place but we had some shocking weather :cry: Best buy was the quechua pop up base tent, stood up to some s...

Air con....works in back not in front
The air con in our bongo is only working in the back, not front. All the lights are on and the engine noise changes slightly when it is turned on but nothing blows. The other day it briefly stopped working and then came on again and the temp is still very cool when it was working. As a complete novi...

Re: Homemade bedboards and platform removal
Hi there, We are about to try our new bongo in few nights and am investigating sleeping arrangements too, with our little monkey son most likely to sleep in the roof top, as combined weight of us bulky adults exceeds japanese design. Can I just clarify if you can put in bed boards and leave the ori...

Re: Homemade bedboards and platform removal
Hi All, Just got back from a successful weekends camping trip in the Bongo - the first one with the new bedboards. It all worked really well and the Tomy bedrail stopped the little one hurling himself out (which he did try on a couple of occasions so we know it was up to the job). The only thing we...

Re: Homemade bedboards and platform removal
The bed was successfully tried and tested at the weekend by my two, it was handy to be able to get up there to make the beds and when my youngest cried we could easily reach him. We stored two boards over the cab and the rear one was moved back slightly and the silver window screens were stored on t...

Re: Homemade bedboards and platform removal
We had a go a doing boards for our bongo yesterday and wondered how anyone who has done this overcame the problem of the height difference between the cab end (which is slightly raised when removing the original panel) and the side of the roof where the panels rest? Having bought the ply without re...
