I am thinking of getting a vehicle to convert into a simple motorhome for one person (up until now I have been a tent user). My budget to spend on the whole project is about £5,000. I was thinking about a Bongo for the following reasons:
1. It's no bigger than a estate car so will fit in the area I've got available to park it.
2. If I get one with the elevating roof I will be able to stand up in it
3. If I get a 4wd model I will be less likely to get stuck off tarmac.
4. A diesel model won't be too expensive to run
5. Parts availability seems to be reasonably good even though they are grey imports
Are they good vehicles? Are there any disadvantages that I need to know about?
