Bongo Fury

Hello

please could somebody help me. I have fitted a leisure battery to the bongo but would now like to run all the internal electrics (lights/ciggie lighter) off it. Can anybody explain to me how I can do it in a simple step, by step way. I have already seen a couple of posts here but although explained it isnt immediately obvious. Firstly they dont mention the internal lights, only the cigar lighter and electric blinds ( i dont have elecric blinds) and secondly they state to connect to a power supply running from the leisure battery. I,m not sure where I am supposed to look for this. Please help the totally clueless ones amongst you who have no idea how electricity works. cheers

sure, I am in cardiff

All the leckies that I know are in the North West and in Southern Scotland. Well I am from Liverpool originally of Scots parents. You could try Pm'ing Madmile for help, he converts Bongos to campervans for a living. He is located somewhere in south Wales.

As mountaingoat mentioned madmile is a great source of knowledge and from my experience a very helpful and approachable guy,he is based in Caerphilly.
If your ever down my neck of the woods id be happy to take a look for you.

ok, now the next obvious question. how do i get hold of madmile. remember i am an apprentice so am not used to this forum and cant see him here. thanks

One way is too look through the different posts until you come to one by Madmile. Then click on PM at the bottom and send him a message.

Another way is to click on "New Messages" at the very top of this page then type in Madmile as recipent and then type out your message to him.

what have you done so far? split charge? How have you gone about it

firstly thanks for all the advice. it really is appreciated. secondly, how far have I got? I have bought a battery, ordered a tray and a split relay kit. But fitting that should be fine as I have some simple instructions for it. its just getting the internals to run from this battery that is the difficulty

cheers

Its not a willinton kit then?

if not its a case of getting a fuse box and running the wires through to the main fuse box and replacing a few fuses with the wires it is simple once you have set up the new fuse box

its only simple if you know what your doing, sadly i dont. any further top tips?

Here's are a couple of threads that may help with pics of my set up.

PM'd you Mark.
As for routing cable, I use the big grommet behing the main battery as its closest to the fusebox.
