Re: 2025 Meetings
Hey Ian (I’m unable to PM you as that option shows as ‘disabled’ for your account).
We’ve booked for the Looe meet but have received no details as yet, I think you were going to be post them.
Have I missed them, or can you assist/update.
An email with the info would be fine.
Cheers, Mick

Re: Pillow change out ;-)
What.. you can’t condemn an article of such national significance to landfill..

Or better still, frame it and hang it on you living room wall as a reminder of all the good times you’ve had over the years in ya Bongo

Re: what type of screw/fixing is on the rear number plate light ?
Oohh, that looks like a potential pain.
In such cases I search for the best fitting screwdriver I can find, and applying as much ‘push down pressure’ as I can, I carefully try to get it moving.
Again, I also find a well place whack or two before hand, carefully applied obviously, can assist in ...

Re: Power to window blinds when parked
Thanks again Geoff..
I see, the switches are a bit like those for the light on my landing, they can affect each other.
I reckon I’ll go for the ‘analogue option’.. I’ll leave it be and simply get maself a stick-on blind to keep out the light.

Re: Power to window blinds when parked
Thanks Geoff.
I assume that would mean all blinds are powered from the leisure battery at all times.?
I’m also guessing the switch on is on the earth side of the circuit.?
And if I were to lazily attach a feed from the leisure battery to blind positive side with the existing supply still in place ...

Power to window blinds when parked
Hey folks, I wondered if anyone had wired up their electric blinds to allow them to be operated with the ignition off.?

Re: Fuse box
In my experience (with motorcycles anyhow) yes, they usually have a tab to hold them in position.
I’m sure someone will come along shortly to advise whether this is the case for the Bongo too.

Re: Storing Meals for a Bongo Trip
Gotta say, I’ve mostly used takeaways 😁
However.. I was looking at similar options myself, ideally ‘one-pan’ meals, so would be interested in what others have found worthwhile.
My Bongo is unconverted, so I use camping stove set up next to the Bongo or in my pop-up Quechua ‘awning’.

My front Spot/Fog lights only operate when my lights are on full beam.
Have you tried them like that.?

Oh, not an overly reassuring start.
