Hi all,

   Just taken delivery of my bongo campervan. Looks great, but wasn't used over the winter and the elevating roof material has some mould growing. Nothing too serious at this stage. Can anyone suggest the best product to treat this with?

thanks in advance

If you have just taken delivery, can your dealer not help?

I would ask first rather than try and possibly make things worse.

Hi - private purchase. And I got such a great deal that I couldn't complain when that is the only problem.

I've heard that milton sterilising solution might do the trick. The mould hasn't been there long by the looks of it so it should be treatable. Just don't want to damage the material by trying the wrong product.

Does anyone know exactly what the material is - is it waterproofed canvas or some form of manmade fibre?

thanks in advance.

Have you tried the Bongo owners forum ?

I am sure they will have some suggestions.

Should get a response or two on there soon...

Thanks.

FYI - Thetford Awning Cleaner sees to have done a very good job on this problem.

I paid £4.99 at a local caravan shop, but afterwards found it online for £2.50.

Hi James, glad to know you find a suitable product, but don't worry too much about the online price as the postage would probably make it more expensive anyway, not to mention waiting for it to arrive.
