We got ours as we'd become tired of putting up a tent...! We've had Barry (fresh import 2l petrol with aft) for just over 5 years now and he's the best thing we've ever bought. We're a family of 4 and he's taken us all over the UK on weekends/days away, for the kids' triathlons, trampoline comps, e...

Hi Bongonauts, Just wanted to have a great camper, smooth V6, power door and blinds. Not prepared to pay VW prices and also the amazing support of Bongo Fury. The key is to get the very best you can afford, underseal with yearly checks for dreaded tin worm. Regular maintenance via a Bongo technicia...

Versatility, reliability not an issue here either once you get it sorted. :D Define 'sorted' ? Muz post says it all. A good major service, belts,afreeze, gear oils etc. Problem is with second hand is you never know what previous owners have done. So best to clear the decks and start clean. I came f...

I inherited a 1997 2.5TD 4Wd AFT when my dad moved to France (MoT seemed like a faff) and at first I thought what is this heap of purple crap :D Then I got in it and loved it, alright it was a little noisy but it was comfy and good to drive. I ripped out the dated conversion put in a new one I spen...

Mostly holiday trips as we're retired, have another car, and shops are an easy walk from home, although I do make sure and take the cars out once a week to prevent problems which develop while sat un-used.

sounds great

What made you go for a Bongo over other options such as VW or Panel Van? I just can't decide which of the above options to go for for 2 adults and a youngling. Key is space, I know Bongo's are small but at a push i'd add an awning. Plans are to travel the UK and definitely want a vehicle I can go t...

Almost lol.

Jesting. 12 years is a long time, have you put much mileage on it in that time ?

Hi. :) The auto box and 4 wheel drive are important to me. Not a serious off roader, but I do like to be able to get off a campsite, and my left knee can be a bit mischievous. 2 Adults, and Bongy is cosy, but we now have a caravan for longer spells away. The Bongo is great if you are moving most da...
