Hi all im over from the TT forum and wanted your opinion, we have a ford galaxy and was contemplating getting a bongo, but credit crunch is stopping that, now instead of taking our huge baby ( TT ) out for the weekend i just wondered if anyone has seen a galaxy style camper if one excists. we have thought of taking out the rear chairs and blacking out the windows and using blinds and then just living out of the car for the weekend. thoughts please are we gonna look daft

Cheers

Garry

Hi, We have a Delica and the seats are captain seats which turn around to make a large bed plus twin batteries for lights etc, So that would be the only main difference between ours and your galaxy, we dont have the sink,cooker etc fitted we have a  small gas portable cooker, but what we use that makes a big difference is the Movelite XL awning as it is big enough for a double bed compartment and room for a table and chairs. You dont need the gutter attachments just use the throw over straps and you can then drive away during the day. We now have more 1-2 day weekends away with this set up rather than take the caravan as we can go further quicker and set up quicker.

If you are thinking of converting a Galaxy it may be worth asking the people who are most likely to have a stab at doing it themselves SBMCC  These are the Self Build Motor Caravanners. Quite a few people have had a go at Bongos, so why not a Galaxy / Alhambra / Sharan? Good, practical vehicles; you will just have to use a bit of imagination to make it work

There is a tent that fixes to the tail gate and becomes an integral part of the vehicle - that could be worth looking at. CARNOPY is the name. The Carnopy is also sold by Towsure 

I saw one on e-bay a few months back, looked really good. Had a small sink & cooker etc with a pop-top.

The wife keeps sayin to me she thinks that something like this might be a good idea for us, cuz when we had our M/H we seemed to use it nearly every weekend, but now we have gone back to a tin-tent we go away less often.

Buy a Bongo with a Freetop,its by far the best compromise,it does everything!!

MM did you have your awning made speacel or just buy it from shop so to speak

Slightly off topic, but have you any idea where I can get seat covers to fit the captain seats in our Granvia? I've tried all over the place but can only find universal seat covers, which of course are too small. Any suggestions most welcome.
