Bongo Fury

Hi guys,

Just got to campsite and pitched the awning in strong winds (not easy !!). My roof won't go up, no noises or beeps, nothing. Checked the relevant fuse and it's not blown.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Only thing that has changed recently is the door beepers were disconnected last week when it was in for some work. I've plugged it back in and checked the other plugs down there and all seems well.

Thanks for any help.

Did you make sure the handbrake was up fully?

Hey Waycar, you are a total star mate, man I was getting worried.

Anyway although the handbrake was on, it was not on as much as it could go and that did it - result.

Serious thanks for that, 3 people sleeping downstairs wasn't something I was looking forward to.

Thanks again and ribbing for such a daft mistake can now commence !!!

Glad it's sorted apole... I bet that was a releif eh?

I'd check the connection to the handbrake anyway...it may have worked a little loose,they often do.

Well having checked all the fuses and other things I could think of my next thing was to see how many immodium I had with me. Having spent most of the day with my 2 boys asking "are we there yet" and put up an awning in a strong crosswind (more than once !!) I was about to look for a window to jump out of.

So glad waycar gave me the answer I can tell you.

Until the awning blows down in the middle of the night all is now good and I plan to make the most of it.

I may celebrate by disconnecting the beeper again, being as I forgot anything nice to drink.

Glad it was an easy fix for you Andy, enjoy your holiday , its a very common thing with the handbrake,its so easy not to pull it up fully (done it myself a few times )

Tell your two lads that the roof had "gone in a mood with them" cos they kept on asking if you has arrived yet... At least it should make for a more peaceful ride home....

or just close the roof before they have time to climb out

The halfway stop mechanism would have to be bypassed first...I can speak from experience there!

I've got the T-Shirt!

So have i!

i bypassed them middle sensor on ours so anyones had it if they get stuck up there. gonna look at moving the lock cancel switch sometime.
