Day van set up, swivel middle row and a table

[denni]

I thought I knew what I wanted when I decided to buy a Bongo but after owning VW's for years, I think I have finally decided that a day van approach is a good idea.

Originally, I wanted a tintop but after driving a few and chatting to other Bongonauts about practicalities etc and with my experience of VW campers, a day van is a better idea for us.

So then, an elevating roof and fit a swivel base to the middle row of seats and a basic table in between. Does anyone have this set up and have any pics they fancy posting? Seems the way forward for us.

Thanks in advance, Den

Hi there. No-one on the forum has (to the best of my knowledge) fitted a swivel to a bench seat. There are 2 places in the Southampton area that have supplied a seat that swivels, but the work involved is quite significant & I seem to recall the cost is several hundreds of pounds.

Here is a link to one of them: http://www.northstarconversions.co.uk/8.html

Hi Simon,
thanks for the link to the site. I found a place in Southampton today that would supply and fit for £300 which I thought was fairly reasonable.
Just need to find one that has one fitted to get a good look at it.

Give Kevin at Southern Bongos a call: http://www.southernbongos.co.uk/. He has them on some of his vans.

Have you got a link? I would be very interested.

The link above to NorthStar is probably going to be the same place . I've seen Kevin at Southern Bongos (just outside Southampton) also offer them as an option, but it would be too much of a coincidence for several Bongo convertors in the same area to be doing the same thing, so I expect Adam @ NorthStar is the manufacturer.
