Ah ha, you're about to start on the epic journey of squeezing luggage into a bongo. I'm pretty sure I got my towbar from Towsure.

However that was 10 years ago and I think lots of firms do them now. Good fact sheet here on towbars:

I considered getting a bakrak:

....when I first got the Bongo. Could provide a simple base for strapping an awning bag to :roll:

Or maybe use a bike rack for the same purpose?
