BUT, I still think a converted Bongo can make a lot of sense. For a single person, or a couple, it can offer adequate cooking and sleeping space, and you still get a compact, easy to drive (down narrow lanes etc.), very well featured vehicle, at a good price, and that is still a stress free everyday car (MPG excepted!). It's fine also for families as long as they accept the absolute need to put up a decent side awning on site. This in turn puts pressure on storage space inside the Bongo, so a trailer or back-box make sense. A covered trailer is best I think as it is v. quickly detached on site and can be used for storage once camping gear is set up, plus it can keep all the camping gear packed and ready for immediate departure. It could be argued of course that once you've had to accept all that, you might as well have a Berlingo (and its much better fuel economy) as the tow vehicle

But the Bongo is a beautiful (and very useful) creature, and that's why I'd be reluctant to give mine up. Some people have dogs - I have my Bongo
