Today I saw an elderly couple in the cab of their Bedford Rascal motorhome. They were smiling and looking happy. They looked like they were driving someplace on an adventure. So nice.
Hi Alen, this takes me back to the late eighties, one of the group of people we went camping and caravanning with had one, her and her husband where on the small side and found it ideal, the wife and I camped in just a basic Rascal van with a double air bed and double sleeping bag, so we must have had the smallest basic camper van going. The Bambi was good for 60mph max whereas the basic Rascal van was good for 70mph, both the Rascal and Bambi was ideal for exploring the lake district and the yorkshire dales, where they small size made them ideal for small roads. We ended up with a small trailer that we pulled when camping that carried the awning, gas stove, table and chairs, etc which came in very handy, the rascal had no problems pulling the trailer and we even ended up pulling a friends bigger trailer tent once when a there van's tow hitch fell off (we put our small trailer in the back of there van). We had plenty of fun with the small Rascal van and it makes you wonder how much luxury do you actually need over your basic needs.
@@ghunt9146 Just have a look at the American 5th wheel trailers, some are so big they used full sized commercial trucks to pull them, (think full sized truck and trailer that delivers to your supermarket). Often they are just used by couples. Now lets have a look on eBay for a rascal van, I have a plan.
This will definitely fit inside the streets of Lucca Italy because that city has a similar street dimension to a Japanese city. If you're working for the British Broadcasting Corporation you have to bring one of these to Lucca in Italy because a standard Land Rover will get stuck in the streets
It is a composite, very lightweight. I have an earlier version but this is better. I thoroughly recommend using this system (or similar). The big one holds 18 litres - the same as traditional holder!
We have a 1987 Bambi. Best vehicle ever, I love everything about it. The engine sound is just amazing

Here here, it's gone ridiculous now with all the nonessential 'must haves'. Keep it simple. 👍

One small correction: UK production of the Rascal ended in July 1993.
Should call them bampi van lol
Compared to the Toyota hilux galaxy it looks pretty tame.
What year model was the Toyota Hilux galaxy Graham?
