Hi

We went camping last weekend and there were two Bongos parked near our tent. I thought they looked brilliant and went over to check them out. One had been bought unconverted and the owner had then taken it to a company who did a full side conversion, the other was not converted at all.

Since coming home I have spent hours in the tinterweb looking at Bongos in all different guises.

We decided to go out today and "just have a look at some" - you know what is coming next I'm sure! Yes we bought one. It was from a very reputable dealer in Mirfield so I feel confident that I have made a good choice.

It has no conversion and what I plan to do is get an awning and use it as is for this year until I know exactly what I want and find a good company to do it for me.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Hi Wendywoo - and snap! - my Bongo is unconverted too and I've done the same thing - bought an awning to see how I find it as it is for now

Look forward to swapping stories as we get out there in the Bongo World! I've had mine a couple of years now but its not been christened camping in it yet, poor things just been doing day to day boring stuff so far
