Anyone got one? Anything I should look out for? I'm seriously tempted as an alternative to the ubiquitous VW camper.
Cheers

I have, well a Ford Freda, which is the same thing.

Top vehicles, but with some idiosyncratic features. Have a look on the Bongo Fury website forum, they'll answer all your questions.

We averaged somewhere between 15-18 mpg on a 1000 mile drive to France a couple of years ago. That was in a 2.5 diesel.

4wd, heavy + aerodynamics of a family home does not make for an economical cruiser.

Was a very comfy trip though!

We used to get 28-30mpg from our 2.5l diesel. Never lower than 24mpg on trips through hilly Wales. We sold ours when fuel was £1.30/litre a while back. Couldn't really afford to run it - it was costing 20p/mile to go anywhere. I do miss it though - it was a lovely thing to have for races, days out and rides away anywhere.
