Hi, Can anyone please tell me where the fuse for this electric rear curtain lives?
Mine has stopped working.
Thanks

Oh never seen a rear curtain that was powered! It looks factory fitted as well!
Where is the switch(s) for controlling it ? I would have expected that it might come off one off the existing blind circuits if the switch is mounted up near the two blind ones on the front dash.

Do both sets of blinds on the sides work ok?

Electric rear curtain? I can't help but I just had to say WOW!

Yet another thing that some Bongos obviously had, and most didn't. Own up chaps - who else has one?

We have one too, and there was one on our old bongo. Assumed there were lots of them about. However, we never really use the switch as it's in the front. By the time you've got the bed made up and in bed, it's easier to just close them by hand rather than lean into the front :)

How interesting! You learn something new every day (well, you do if you come on here!!)

That's true :) Every evening when we have dinner Chris asks us all "what have you learnt new today". I'm finding half the time I answer him with a bongo related fact :S

I must say that it is one of my favourite bongo tricks.
If you have never seen the powered rear curtain in operation, it whips together from open to closed in under 1 second.
When I have it going again, I will post a video.

Blinds work fine,
I think I may have upset some wiring that went under the handbrake tray area when I changed the head.

Thanks for help.

Switch looks like this

Look forward to seeing that :oops: I am suddenly beginning to understand why my 4 year old is so fond of playing with the electric blinds #-o

Blimey, almost £600.

Some of those accessories look tasty though. Anyone going over to Japan soon?

Does anyone know of an electric blind that might do for a bongo back window like the side ones? maybe somthing off another van? or someone willing to make such a thing be a real market for them i guess,

I'd sell mine as it's I tend to close the curtains by hand, but I think Chris would have a few words to say on me selling his play gadget :P

Our little ones are continually playing with the blind buttons and touching everything, we keep them out of it when we can :) I really can't see the point of an electric rear curtain. It's really much easier closing the back curtains manually. After we've set up our bed downstairs and closed the front curtain, we can't be bothered to lean over and press the button, so we just close it manually :)

Just imagine how delighted you would be if they pulled the electric rear curtain off it's rail? Probably as delighted as I was when my little monster wrecked my front window switches (the rocket launchers)
