Bongo Fury

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.

hello, and welcome to the forum.....

what colour have you bought, and when do you collect it?

Hi John

Its a dark grey colour and I am hoping to pick it up on Friday all being well.

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
