Took Olive away on Thursday last and dropped her off with 321 Away for a full side conversion. :D

We picked Olive up this afternoon from Wokingham.

WOW...... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: =D> =D> =D>

Really really pleased with how well the work has been done. She looks amazing. We plumbed for a full side conversion with the seats cut down to form the bed. So we have a fully fledged 4 berth sleeper and the practicality of a 6 seater! The seats are on the repositioned runners and float in the rear cab space, giving us loads of flexibility and boot space.

The cupboards have loads of storage and the whole build is seamless and solid. FANTASTIC.

So, a big shout out to all at 321 Away for a brilliant job......... =D> =D> =D>

This is our second bongo and this conversion totally blows away what we had previously. Having seen a wee bit of the market I really can't rate these guys enough.

Piccies will follow.....it's dark now and our neighbours think I'm odd enough. So, Bongoplod please be patient [-o<

Got such a smile on me face......brilliant! :D :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Our is from 321 too, they're fab conversions and great people to deal with :) Did you get a "catflap" put in at the same time?

Enjoy the van and all the great trips it will bring you

Excellent, and I'm delighted to see you have an energy efficient toploading fridge :-)

We will be testing the bed for Sam and I, with probably a filler for the seats.......me and the girls are desperate to try Olive out with her new conversion..............but mummy is having none of it, citing "it's too cold".... :( . So it will be a while. However, I reckon we will have the seats filled/flattened to make the bed more comfortable and not have to worry about finding space for the filler!

Test and adjust...........

We are really pleased with the single use fridge or freezer.......Makes perfect sense to us.....cold air staying low etc......when we tour we tend to stay off the mains.......despite having 3 hook up cables..... :lol: and from the way we 'campaign' it will suit us down to the ground.

Really pleased with it and I reckon Olive is well chuffed too........ :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I must say a big shout out to Sam choosing the silver......I wanted the dark carbon...... :twisted: , but the silver really keeps the interior nice, bright and uber slick.....just don't tell her about it...... =D> [-X =D>
