Newbie from Norfolk saying hello

Post by Sven » Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:56 pm

Hi All,
Have been lurking on here for a month - since we placed our order for our Bongo from Andy's Imports. Just had a call from him today to say its ready to pick up, so as of this Saturday we will officially be new Bongo owners. So thought i really should say 'Hi'.
Having read quite a bit on here already, i can tell there are a huge amount of knowledgeable folk & info on here. Hopefully I won't need it too soon :lol: but i will probably be asking 1 or 2 silly questions until i know what I'm doing!
I live in Norwich Norfolk, and with Andy's imports just up the road from us, it seemed logical to buy from him.
Usually go camping quite a lot including through the winter, so the Bongo is going to seem like luxury!! :D
Hope to maybe meet-up with some of you & gain from your knowledge of these great campers :D

Very nice. Will you be able to get it under your garage door? I thought they'd be too high but that looks tight but possible.

I’ve not thought of trying it in the garage, but I don’t think it will fit. That concrete pad at the entrance to the garage has quite a steep ramp upwards.
Anyway 1 of the garages has a GTM Libra kitcar in it and the other has a Yamaha Tracer & several kayak/canoes in it! :D
