Bongo Fury

Hello, like many others I am looking for a simple sun canopy for short trips, I have a Royal traveller annexe for expeditions. Does anyone know if the Just Kampers sun canopy could be fixed to the Bongo?

Many thanks.

I couldn't find a sun canopy on their website, just the Fiamma ones.

I use a Khyam tent canopy and just throw it over the fan and peg down on the other side. The wind goes through the gap between the roof and the canopy lovely. However, I don't know if these are still available as I can't find them on the website. I only paid £15 for mine . I was considering putting kador strip on but I like the versatility of throwing over. I can have a canopy width to suit!

They do have these: http://www.khyam.co.uk/detail.asp?p=804 ... n%20Canopy although they're currently out of stock, but they're based on the one I've got, just that they've got the kador strip!

Here's some photos of mine. You can place your Quechua near the back or front of the bongo too.

Thank you Jillygumbo, very useful

There's also this option.

Was going to go for this, but managed to get a S/H Khyam Sun Porch on the bay. As said previously, the Khyam seems to be universally out of stock

Shame they're out of stock. My S/H Kyham one arrived today, does the job perfectly with figure of eights. Good quality. Keep your eye out for a S/H one I did have to bid to new price to get it though, obviously they're sought-after when out of stock.

... and the price! I can't believe I got mine for £15.00! Well, I can, because i did!

Quite like the look of that eBay linked one for 59.95! I want a fiamma F35 but my wife is dead set against them........

So this looks like a happy medium for the time being.

Looks like a treat for October me thinks.

I got a Khyam Sun Porch on eBay 2012 model and took it to South West Bongo Bash. Very useful after initial problems in working out how to fit it to the Bongo. After consultation with several of the finest Bongo minds, Jilly, Baz, Debs, Jude and Colin and Cheryl we fitted it securely with the flysheet over the Bongo like Jillys canopy. It made a tremendous difference having the outside sitting and standing room, specialy on a tintop where you have to perfect the art of putting on your jeans bent double.

I am totally confused about these Sun Porches as there appear to be two types. mine which is designed to flap over a tent and fits a tin top in the same way and the ones that are fitted with figure of eights. I could only find the tent variety. Are the figure of eight ones different or is there a second way of attatching the same awning.

You buy them separately Mary, but you would adapt a tent one if you so wished. But then if it got windy the wind would more likely cause damage to the awning than one where the wind can whistle through.
