Mazda Bongo

Anyone had one?! And would they recommend?

Off topic but looking for a camper van, can also use to commute the odd day to work. Around the 10-12k mark and these come up quite a bit with good mileage. VW T4s and T5s still really expensive. So wondered if a Mazda Bongo could be a decent alternative.

Any pointers from seasoned camper owners would be appreciated as this will be our first! 🙏

Got a friend who’s got one and loves it. There’s just the two of them though, not sure it’s big enough for four is it?

It would feel a bit cramped to me with four people in a Mazda Bongo, but each to their own.

One is only 8 months so doesn’t take much room 😂 and the other is just a bit of future planning so we wouldn’t need to get a new van with four seats immediately.

Are they currently still in your balls?

On my way to pick up a Bongo in Nottinghamshire as we speak.

Had a bit of a lucky escape with someone trying to mug me off in Chester for one last week - said he’d had it 3 years, just spent 10k converting it for the summer, but got a 60k payout at work so was gonna get a proper good T5. Anyway, checked the logbook out and it changed hands last October. Then looked into the company that he said did the conversion, set up in October with one named director… the guy selling it!
