Bongo Fury

Hello Bongies. newish owner, yet to go 'for real' I have a 'push up' roof with straps, not too difficult to push up, but for a OAP, hard to pull down. are the telescopic support struts meant to be 'stiff'? can I shove some oil down them? or is that just how it is??
Regards to all. Bongo Burty

Welcome aboard.
Is the roof a mushroom style opens from the side along the length of the van ? Or is it hinged along the front/rear ?
The mushroom roofs are known to be quite difficult to lower down.

Hello Geoff, hinges from the back, relatively easy to push up, hard to pull down.

Right not sure which make that is, the gas struts normally only need a clean / polish of the ram section as they have there own lubrication internally.

Thanks for that Geoff
