Everything wrong with my Bedford Rascal (Good and Bad Points)
Everything wrong with my Bedford Rascal
My Bedford Rascal had a lot more problems when I first purchased it, mainly to do with the running gear/engine. I since did a lot of work on the engine at the back end of the summer last year to make sure that the Rascal could cope with a decent run without either overheating or cutting out.
There is some rust around the Rascal which is to be expected for this year of vehicle, but it is mainly cosmetic and it is not in a particularly bad way. There are some leaks from with windows, and from the vents in the ceiling, but they are easily remedied. There have been some crack which have developed since I bought the Rascal which are a bit worrying, they should be there which is showing that there are some additional stresses on the rear and the shell has been comprimised somehow which I will also need to sort out.
A tape player sits upfront in the cab which is awful when it works, but that's only when it works, because there must be something wrong with the wiring because it only works intermittently. The audio is very poor anyway because it plays in mono, it needs to be changed.
A big problem for me is the head liner in the rear cabin, the dark grey carpet around the cieling and sides and windows is horrible and poorly fitted, it looks like carpet for the floor which has been stuck on, all this needs to go in a future update and replaced with something a bit more high tech and modern.
There are a lot of good points too, it has a good sink and the pump works, a good leisure battery powering everything, a fridge, yes it only works on mains electric and could do with converting to battery but still useful, and a stove/grill area, and a great area for breakfast and double bed. You could use the Bedford Rascal for anything adventure if you really wanted to and that's what my plans are in the future.
Please subscribe if you haven't already, i'm sure my videos are going to get better over time and I would appreciate your support very much, until next time.
