New Bongo owner from Bradford

Hello to you all I have just brought a Bongo from Wellhouse Leisure. Its a Auto Top with AVA conversion. It's been in the uk for over 4 years so it may have been on the forum before. The reg is N77JAK, if anybody knows any history of this Bongo can you let me know. I know Wellhouse can be on the expensive side compared to other companys who sell Bongos. I really like this conversion because the side units are narrow and the modified Mazda seat which has Mazda runners which can slide back and forth, means its easy carry goods in the rear. It comes with 12 months MOT, full service and 12 months AA warranty. So I will look out for other Bongos in the area and wave.

If you was wondering The hob pulls out of the unit. The sink is a bit narrow and it has a chest fridge. This means you can access all units while sat down. The colour is a blue/gray.

Welcome aboard minoltaman and enjoy the Bongo. Wellhouse are on the expensive side but more than one person has said their aftersales care and commitment is 2nd to none, which should count if you have any issues post purchasing.
Have you read up on the sensible precautions to take with Bongos in relation to the cooling system? Well worth it

You will it has a windout awning, I had a list of accesories to chose from up to £1000, so I chose windout awning (colour coded), alarm system and towbar. So I feel I have done quiet well
