Work on a Bongo is never done - it's an endless labour of love...

@Allee202 Год назад

Love this! We are bringing our bongo back to life!

@PamelaMarshall Год назад

Love to hear it! I raised mine from the dead and he’s in mint condition now! Well worth it!

Nevis looks gorgeous, btw, and highly practical!

Thanks for updating us with all you have done on nevis. Now look forward towards your adventure in her. Nice to see you have your bounce back and mojo. Stay safe.

Thank you! It’s been a labour of love that’s for sure! Nevis has changed again, mostly exterior but I’m planning to make a vid on that next month if I get some decent weather! 😊

Well done Pamela, your van looks great, don't worry about feeling like it's not finished, or not wanting it to be finished. We're constantly doing something to our van!

Hi Pamela, it's so nice to see your happy face as you talk about Nevis. Great job well done. This will be perfect for you and your son to take in the sites of your beloved Scotland ❤. This set up will give you so much more freedom to explore and spend valuable time with your son. Keep up your enthusiasm it's very contagious. Malcolm Newcastle Australia

Hi Pam nice to hear how Nevis is doing.I have sorned my Mabel since my son and i moved housebut i cant wait to get her back on the road again.I have been using my sons car in the mean time.Have just got an elec heater to warm the old girl up as i took everything out in case it got damp.Would be nice to meet up in the summer with you and other Scots bongos.Meanwhile im trying to source insurance out ÷£££

@PamelaMarshall 6 месяцев назад

Hi Julie! Glad to hear you’ll be out and about in the summer! The electric heater is a great idea to keep them warm and damp free, I usually chuck a few dehumidifiers from Asda inside the van over the winter too just to keep any moisture out. Would recommend Adrian flux for insurance! 😊

@Pamela Marshall most definitely. I do not recommend trying to fit the 110mha back into the cupboard in the dark.... it causes foul language and grazed knuckles!

That sounds like a lot of mechanical repairs/replacement. How many km did Nevis have? I’m in the US and these vans are very uncommon here. I have just ordered one and I am hoping they are mechanically reliable 🤞

Just seen this! Nevis has 140,000miles on him, still plenty to go! There was a lot of mechanical work but now hopefully it’s all about maintenance!

Hi Pamela we love what you have done with nevis. Where did you get the table , awning and rear kitchen from? Thanks

@PamelaMarshall 2 года назад

Hi Andrew! Thank you! I got the table from eBay, a camper conversion company sold a few of them in different colours, with trim included, got that for £30. The awning and kitchen I got from a fellow bongonaut, awning was £70, usually £130 from Obelink and the kitchen was free as he was ripping it out his van to start his with a blank canvas. I got very lucky on that one! 😊

@PamelaMarshall 2 года назад

Hullo! Thank you! 😊 I’ll put a link in the video description of the exact pack I got. Not sure if the deal is still on but it’s a good backup power source for emergencies! If I can answer any questions to do with bongo builds give me a shout!

@PamelaMarshall 2 года назад

Thank you! The rear bench seat can be fitted with a swivel base, there’s a conversion company on the Isle of Wight who supply and fit them. My van doesn’t have one yet I just undo the bolts and flip it around 😊

@andrewcollins3562 2 года назад

Yh, I’ve spoken to NorthStar about the swivel rear seat. Had no idea you could switch them via the bolts. Would be a more cost effective solution. Will look into it and will look forward to it if you cover this in one of your videos 😀
