Bongo Roof Cover
Hello,just got back from Nick Wilmots having just bought an exterior windscreen cover for the Bongo which is the best I have seen.But what I am posting about is the fact that Nick has perfected his Bongo Roof Cover and is able to produce them in Silver,Grey,Black and Dark Blue.This is the cover which several Peeps have been searching for to use to make it warmer when sleeping in the roof or winter camping.Email him at [email protected] to discuss it more.Hope this helps anyone searching for a roof cover. Cheers Michael

Re: Bongo Roof Cover
Great news at last! Thanks for the heads up. What's the cost, for those wanting one?loneranger wrote:Hello,just got back from Nick Wilmots having just bought an exterior windscreen cover for the Bongo which is the best I have seen.But what I am posting about is the fact that Nick has perfected his Bongo Roof Cover and is able to produce them in Silver,Grey,Black and Dark Blue.This is the cover which several Peeps have been searching for to use to make it warmer when sleeping in the roof or winter camping.Email him at [email protected] to discuss it more.Hope this helps anyone searching for a roof cover.

Re: Bongo Roof Cover
I'll second that Michael, Nicks stuff is excellent. We've just got a cover for this alternative Bongo we've got. He does awning sides as well which are handy.

Re: Bongo Roof Cover
Hello,Mike I did not find out the cost of the Roof Cover,but if you Email Nick at Comfortzleisure @aol .com and mention my name I am sure he will sort you out and you can discuss the price.I was impressed with the fit and quality of the Roof Cover compared with the one I saw at Looe two years ago.He had it fitted on his Bongo and my reaction was "If I slept in the roof I would want one of those to make it warmer or cooler".I was there to purchase an Exterior Windscreen Cover for the Bongo,to combat the heat from the sun.This is easier and quicker to put on than the Interior Silver Screens (no messing about with suckers) and can be used all year round.So as soon as I got back ,on it went in less than a minute.Cheers Michael

Re: Bongo Roof Cover
Hello Brian,who is now Bongo less which is a sad loss to the Peak District.As Queen says "Another one bits the dust".I agree that Nicks stuff is top quality and nice bloke to deal with, but then he is a fellow Bongo Owner.I look forward to seeing your alternative Bongo!.Cheers Michael

Re: Bongo Roof Cover
Hello Simon £199 seems to be the price for the Bongo Roof Covers.This is good quality fabric not like the flimsy Mazda one that I saw two years ago.It is the same fabric that my Exterior Windscreen Cover is made from and I am very pleased with that.I do not and never will buy rubbish or recommend anything I would not buy myself if I needed it.I just remember that several peeps were after the Roof Covers last Autumn for winter camping.As far as I am concerned they have to decide if they want one and how much to pay.It is a decision I have had to make several times in my ownership of the Bongo regarding accessories in the world where everything for Bongos cost money.Think about the crazy prices people pay for the rear ladders,which serve no purpose.Cheers Michael

Re: Bongo Roof Coverss
Hi Gordon, you're quite right and I have no excuse really the roof cover project got shelved for the best part of 12 months and I'd not been on the forum for a long time - but I totally agree I should have got back to you so sincere apologies!the laird wrote:Still waiting for him to reply to all my e mails!sorry to burst his bubble but not impressed with his buisness approach
P.S. take a look at your inbox
Cheers,
Nick

Re: Bongo Roof Coverss
I second that. I took time to take loads of photos of my original roof cover for him so as to help Nick with the project last October, with the promise of a test cover to trial and compare to my original. Heard nothing back.the laird wrote:Still waiting for him to reply to all my e mails!sorry to burst his bubble but not impressed with his buisness approach
Interesting that the final product is now for sale though, presumably without being trialled alongside the Mazda original. Wonder how many of the final ideas were taken from my original cover photos?
I can't see how a comparison can be made between this new one and the original Mazda cover by someone who has not tried and used both types over a matter of time in both hot and cold climates.loneranger wrote:This is good quality fabric not like the flimsy Mazda one

Re: Bongo Roof Cover
Hello Andrew,I never said that I had used the original cover.All I saw was one at Looe as I stated,which did not look as good as Nicks.I was only trying to help people who were posting in search of a cover.The problem seemed to be that the original Mazda Covers did not come up for sale very often.It does not effect me personally as I have no requirement for a Cover.I sleep in the Bongo winter and summer and as I am a Tough Norterner I do not need to be papered.Cheers Michael
