is it child friendly?

Hi.

Do many children go to bash? We are visiting Drayton manor that week and were thinking of a detour and camp at the bash.

Thanks.

Re: Body shop in Bournemouth area

Might be worth giving Al's Autos a try 01258 857713. They are in Sturminster Marshall so not too far away. Not sure how much body work they do but have been great with my Bongo.

Re: unconverted camping stuff

Thanks for all your help. Have just camped again overnight cooked on back of seats worked well.

Will have a look at that footwell thing sounds good.

I def need hook up-was cold last night and had free hook up so was a bit miserable knowing I could have been warm.

Re: Bongo Help and Words of Wisdom needed

Out of interest what do insurers think of diy Isofix is it classed as a modification?

Re: Bongo Help and Words of Wisdom needed

Isofix are only safer as it is almost impossible to fit incorrectly. So a correctly fitted car seat with three point seat belt offers the same protection. I would invest in a decent three point car seat and make sure you know how to fit it correctly.

unconverted camping stuff

Hi what do people use to boil kettle in a unconverted bongo? I'm currently on first bongo trip and as weather is fab I've used my suitcase stove outside but not sure what to do if it rains (have cooking tent if staying 2+ nights) I have electric lead but haven't plugged it in as didn't want to leave...

It took 6mins from a cold start to be comfortably heating the bongo.

Re: Stupid Aircon question

Agree with others my v6 (non lpg) gets toastie very quickly, in fact it's only the second car I've ever owned which I need to turn the temperature down. (The other was a mitsubishi galant)

Re: Thanks and Hello

Hi.

Just to echo your sentiments I spent a fair amount on fuel driving to look at wrecks, on getting there the garage sellers assumed I was already a bongo owner or a mechanic as I knew where to look/questions to ask.

Good luck in your search I'm also happy to view a local one.

Re: mattress and other essentials

Thanks for the offer would have been great however I need the mattress for the roof as well and comfort leisure offer a deal if you buy both. Shame would have been nice to meet a fellow fury member.

mattress and other essentials

Hi. After spending more than planned on Bongo I need to be careful where I spend remaining funds. Have allocated for rear cupboards that also fit my stove. Aft has no mattresses so planning on buying roof and cabin mattress from comfort leisure. What else is essential/really useful. Much appreciated

Re: pros and cons of a diy rear kitchen - advice

Would you mind if I used your pictures to show a tradesman what I want. Just looked through all the 'show us your innards' and whilst many were gorgeous, yours is exactly what I want!
