Description
Our vehicle is a Ford Freda badged Mazda Bongo. (Exactly the same vehicle). First registered in 1995 so not so young but in great condition. Under the bonnet is 2.5 L Turbo diesel engine with automatic transmission. This is such a lovely easy vehicle to drive as it is automatic and the size of an estate car. Parking is especially easy due to the large screen on board parking camera. The roof pops up electronically to create a sleeping area for two. Kids will love "the den" effect! But also a cosy space for two adults. The rear bench seat in the main cabin is a "rock and roll" bed creating a three quarter double. There is a two ring Camping Gaz cooker and a sink with water on tap. When hooked up via a camp site's electricity you can also use the micro wave that is supplied and the 13 amp, 3 pin sockets inside the vehicle. An alfresco folding camping table and seats and 2 fold up camping chairs for chilling with a glass of wine are also included. All pots, pans, frying pan, kettle, crockery , cutlery and cooking utensils are also included . Together washing and cleaning items. You just need to bring personal stuff like wash kits with towels and sleeping bags etc. There is a blue tooth connector so you can play your own tunes. (The radio has a CD slot if you know what they are?) There are two USB ports for phone charging . Please note the vehicle plan shows the passenger seat turning. On my vehicle it does not turn to face the rear. The vehicle also has the benefit of a tow bar should that be required. Safety: There is a dual Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detector fitted A fire blanket and Fire extinguisher. In the glove box is a Fist Aid Kit Breakdown cover with the RAC: They will provide cover for the following: - 1. Alternative Transport (Hatchback, not a camper or motorhome) 2. Emergency overnight accommodation cost (Max £150 pp) 3. Repatriation to garage or alternative address (home) The insurance covers age 23 to 70 with UK or EU licences. Please ask if outside these parameters we still may be able to accommodate with a call to our insurance company.

The little Blue Bongo is not young but drives beautifully. Please treat with care it cruises along nicely between 60 mph and 70 mph. Pulls up hills very well even has a low and a slow gear. Very easy to park. Especially, with the large onboard reversing camera. If you can please don't wear shoes inside the cabin. I know its difficult so I'm not precious. But it will make for cleanliness for you and future clients. I realise you will wear shoes in the driving and passenger positions.

I had such a lovely time in bobs blue Bongo… It reminded me of having my own one a few years back, and how happy I felt to be on the road again! Drives like a dream and I slept really well, easy to use bed, cooker, sink etc and Bob was so accommodating – really helpful and friendly. Thanks again Bob! Best wishes, catherine
We had a lovely holiday in Bob's blue bongo! Great drive and with everything we needed for our trip away. Clean, comfy, cosy, and reliable. Good communications from the nice man Robert who we rented from. Thank you :-)
The Bongo made for a great weekend as we met up with friends at Wowo campsite. The Bongo had sufficient space for 3 of us (2 x adults, 1 x 8yr old) and was kitted out really well with all the accessories we needed for the 2 nights away. We didn't get the chance to hook up to electric due to the campsite we selected, that would have added an extra level of comfort perhaps but not really missed, and was nice to go off-grid'. Nice and easy to drive, and a fun experience.
