Mazda Bongo Self Build Campervan Conversion
มุมมอง 19K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This is our 1995 Mazda Bongo, Papaya the Bongo, which we converted in early 2019. To skip the intro please click here: 4:16 We decided to convert this campervan after struggling to find a van that suited exactly what we wanted - a small van with lots of storage which could work off-grid - so we decided to buy a Bongo unconverted and do the work ourselves. We're not professionals - but we are re...

Nice. Is it still going?
Good morning to buy and build my bongo thanks for the ideas
Random question but where did you get the solar light on sun roof??
thanks!
beautiful stuff
looks fire!
Great video.. just a heads up a carbon monoxide detector won't pick up a gas leak. for that you need a gas detector
Great video thanks Hannah 😊
Going to import one of these from Japan....If I can find the 4x4 Turbo Diesel....
Супер получилось!) Я тоже недавно купил Bongo Friendee, очень нравится машина!)
thats nice i think these vans are going to only go up in value
Where did you get the bed from?
Where did you get R&R bed from thanks Peter
I need to have a look through my ebay to find this out! It was a rock n roll bed company, we bought it for around £300
Tidy conversion 😎👍
How do you check / top up the oil ? You won’t be able to fold the seat back because of unit behind the seat
It's mid-engine so you check the oil by flipping over the passenger seat. The bed and unit and draw all worked perfectly, we lived in the van for 6 months with no issues
@@hannahlihill Your right it’s under the passenger seat , it’s the gearbox dip stick that’s under the drivers side I just thought with the kitchen unit behind the drivers seat u would never be able to flick it back to access the engine on that side
Hi. I will be selling my Bongo soon and the video you made is a great idea and I'm glad it got you a result. Like you I'm looking for a slightly larger Van. Probably a Peugeot Boxer Autosleeper. Too old for self conversions now! Hope you continue to have fun again soon.
Great job!!! I'm on my third Bongo :) Can I ask where you got your rock roll bed from? Thanks, Steve.
Brilliant video. Having had a T5 camper in the past, I'm looking to get a bongo now and this was very helpful. There isn't much info out there regarding bongos as there is transporters so very handy.
Thank you! We really appreciate your comment 😊 Yes, VWs are definitely more popular, but even so, it seems the smaller VWs aren't quite as popular for self builds as Crafters. But maybe I wasn't looking hard enough when we researching for our self build. Bongos are awesome little campervans, and really cool to drive being automatic and so small!
Papaya is beautiful! I hope you had both had a wonderful trip around Europe, and many happy memories from your adventures!
Thank you for your lovely message. I'm so pleased you like Papaya 😊 We had an amazing trip around Europe, very lucky to have gone before the world turned upside down!
May I ask how much you sold it for, please? It's a beautiful conversion. Did you get it reclassified from an MPV to a campervan, btw? Cheers!
Sure. We sold the Bongo for £6,400, the interest we had was crazy! I must have had around 15 phone calls within 24 hours. We were very lucky with the timing I think, it seems the campervan market was really good at that time. We really loved her, but it's so nice to know other people did, too!
yooo sick! I just got a bongo exactly like yours! cant wait to convert it!
Thank you! That's awesome, share some pics or a video if you can 😁
That's grate conversion.
I have a Mazda bongo frendee
Good )
Where did you get the rock and roll bed from and what is the flooring you used
Fantastic video. I'm a new bongo owner and want to see more self builds. Very excited when I saw this, great work both xxx
Thank you so much, what a lovely comment! I constantly looked through TH-cam, Instagram and Pinterest when we were converting Papaya, but I couldn't find much out there, which is one of the reasons why we made this. I'm sure there must be more Bongo self builds out there, so I hope to see more videos and pictures popping up! Good luck with your Bongo xxxx
Lovely van, I'm sad I was too late to buy it. Thanks for the video, some clever ideas. Love the colours. 👍
Thank you so much. I hope you've found the campervan for you now 😊❤
very nice build ! hope you have great adventures in your Bongo !
impress what u done enjoy
