Draught skirt

Post by Eratosthenes » Tue Jul 12, 2016 10:24 pm

Just had our first camping trip using our Cayman Movelite awning and really enjoyed it.
It was quite windy and the awning did well. However it was quite gusty from underneath
the Bongo and I have been looking for a draft skirt. Have seen plenty for the VW's but
nothing for Bongo's. Is there a suitable commercial one or have folks made their own?
Any info appreciated.

The Bongo fury shop doesn't seem to stock these any more. Can anyone advise the best draught skirt to get? Can't seem to find anything the right size online.

Welcome to the Forum.

If you can't find what you want it might be worth trying a sail maker or upholsterer, they might well make you one. 8)

We don't stock them anymore in the club shop. Try the VW club shop (Vankampers?).

Thanks for this. I have got one on back order with Justkampers as they are currently sold out. Looks to be adjustable, so have high hopes this will fit the Bongo's shorter wheelbase.
