Bongo Fury

hi all i have a left hand side mounted kitchen unit with sink one gas ring and a coolbox with fan the lead coming off the coolbox connects to via a cig lighter and also an adapter then 3 pronged plug. the nearest cig lighter is on the front dash are there any others located?nearer the coolbox ?how do the coolboxes work ?are they noisy?

Hi There,

If by left you mean a unit on the passenger side then there should be a lighter socket behind it . If you look inside the cupboard there should be the armrest/cupholder etc and there should be a socket nearby.

a socket contained within the kitchen unit?

My unit doesn't have a back on it. The socket is on the side panel of the van. The 12v plug from the unit (that works the tap) usually plugs straight into this, but I have added an adapter so that I can plug in both the unit itself and a coolbox.

Heres how they work assuming its just a bog standard one.

If it has a fan you will have some noise
Absorbtion type fridges are totally silent, but cost more, work better but use more electricity

hi i have located a socket in the vehicle bodywork ,it is right at the side of the kitchen unit unfortunately it does not work i have tried the one on the dash and that works fine

Hi,

It's hard to say why the rear socket in't working without seeing it.

On a slightly different note - do you have a leisure battery? Both front and rear sockets in my bongo are connected to my leisure battery - without that the coolbox would run down the starter battery very quickly. Even if you have a leisre battery it's worth checking what's connected to it before plugging in.

Was the ignition on when you tried?

yes ignition plus switch on kitchen unit turned on yes got leisure battery only water pump connected direct to battery

Just buy a cigar socket and connect it to the kitchen feed cables then
You could check the cables to rear socket
Remove the rear pocket / drinks holder there one Phillips screw in bottom of storage pocket and it pulls out.
