Re: A sad bongo farewell.....

Recently sold my bongo and eriba David, miss them both especially the bongo, however I am enjoying the comforts of the motorhome, best wishes for the future and if you don't buy another bongo, get yourself an eriba. :D

Re: selling sites for mazda bongo

Agree with Simon, I posted mine on a Mazda bongo sellers site on Facebook and pulled it after an hour, due to Del Boys mailing and phoning with rediculous offers, sold it on the fury website in about a week, first lad that came to view it bought it.

Re: Leisure battery query from a bongo nube and electrics Bi

You did not mention a fridge, assume your hobs are gas fired, (or 240v electric which is unusual) so you could get away with a solar panel to recharge the starter battery by day, especially if you use things like internal lights etc sparingly.
