Apart from all the good stuff at comfortzleisures stand (quality mattresses, AFT covers, privacy rooms etc.) I came across a couple of neat Bongo offerings at this years Bash. First, a tailgate awning - something I've been hoping someone would have a go at for years. This one is from an outfit who are custom making them to order and buyers can choose from a range of colours. Decent quality waterproof ripstock nylon seems to be the material, stitching looks good, and only outstanding bits of design to be sorted as far as I cold see are zip position and sturdiness, spring poles (essential if tailgate is not to be strained/damaged when getting in and out of Bongo and suspension dips), and possibly magnetic strips to hold awning against Bongo sides. Very tempted to buy one when these details have been sorted. Here's a couple of pics I took (click to enlarge):
The other neat item was a reversible passenger seat. Great for extra seating, dog bed etc etc and v quick and easy to turn seat around by withdrawing two sturdy pins, turning seat through 180 degrees, then re-inserting the pins. I found head height marginal for a 6' person like me but most would be fine with it. Pics:
You post them your seat base and they do the mod and return it. A small strip of carpet needs removing beneath modified seat in order that it can move freely when adjusted. The people who are selling these seats are also offering really nice chromed replacement grab handles for the sliding door entrance and rear passenger area.
Great to see innovative new ideas taking place for this classic car.
