Yes see here https://www.newdawnconversions.co.uk/swivel-seats
Also the middle seats can be turned as well but you loose a lot of storage space.

Inherited a Bongo about 2 years ago when my Dad moved to France and whilst I was understandably grateful I found it a little dated inside...

First job was to resew the mesh into the tent as it was torn (not easy!) but after that I turned my attention to the interior. This is what is looks like now, I'm really pleased and I hope you guys like it. The bed in from JDS metal tech and I retrimmed the interior with the same fabric, made new blackout blinds, resized ikea cushions into pillows etc etc. Its constructed from 12mm birch painted with dulex trade satin wood, has the usual things you would expect plus 100w solar, and a webasto thermo top - airvent isn't shown in any pictures but comes through bulkhead directly behind engine, controls are in a cupboard in the rear

Hi all.
Mine is not a full conversion rather a tailored alternative. DIY through most enjoyed challenge.

The rear box has shelves that are hinged so access can be gained to all within the box whilst in the vehicle. For those sunny days the drop down shelf makes a perfect cooking, food prep area.

Some lovely conversions in here.

Here's mine, which I've just completed, I wanted a rear Pod that I could use to cook from outside under the tailgate, and that was easily removable if I want to use the Bongo as a van.

It's from Evo designs and is actually designed to fit a VW T5/T6 with a 3/4 bed and side units, which makes it narrow enough to fit in the bongo, fitting quite snugly between the rear wheel wells.

It came flat-packed and took the best part of a day to put together, but it's of really nice quality.

Image

I've secured it using some homemade brackets which slot into the sliding rails

Got a matching table for the "lounge" and turned the middle seats around and she's good to go.

Image

Only issue now is I can't go out in it due to the the Covid-19 Lockdown! Something to look forward to when this all blows over I suppose!

Not bad eh? We are blessed to have that view of the Ennerdale Valley right from our back yard. Living in West Cumbria does have it's benefits.

You don't need to go anywhere, just look out of your Bongo window! :lol:

Finally, the van is pretty much finished inside, the outside is awaiting graphics, it's gonna have the same theme as inside, wacky/retro/hippy style!
The whole side conversion was made from scratch, the bed was made to order but needed slight engineering mods to make the back bit fit flush with the rear hatch, this saves at least a foot of space.
All lighting is LED throughout, including the light up air vents, seriously, they really do light up!
Let me know what you think of it so far, it may not be to everyone's liking.
