Hello and welcome

Is there a label attached anywhere with the make in english?

If so,may be worth looking at the makers website and see if there is a similar model shown

Cool, well unfortunately I don't have any instructions but hopefully the photos may give some clues on how it is supposed to look :).

I think that's the first time I've heard of a Bongo coming with one of those. Regular readers will know of my enthusiasm for a tailgate awning and swing out kitchen. I had to make my own, but yours looks better :-(

The Camper Shack by Packa Shack is quite a good option for the Bongo if you want a tailgate awning: http://www.packashack.co.uk/

Previous incarnations recommended for Bongo (bought last year) are too tall for the Bongo (without modification), see other peoples threads. An under ground sheet would be my reccomendation. My version does not totally unzip with a flap.
reservations.

From £204: http://www.packashack.co.uk/camper-shacks.html

I saw one on a Bongo last weekend at the Welsh bash and it looked pretty good. Not sure who the owner was but the van was a little different with waves down the side and beach hut graphics on the front and rear.
