The new Ford Nugget Plus takes all the best features of the original Nugget – Ford’s own in-house campervan – and gains extra space and a built-in cassette toilet. It also has twin sliding doors, a hot water system and outdoor shower. Is that enough to make it a better buy than VW’s best-selling California?If you would like to see more videos like this you can help and support us by giving us a thumbs up, leaving a comment or subscribing to our channel.◼️ REVIEWED BY: Peter Vaughan, Group Motorhome Road Test Editor for MMM magazine and What Motorhome magazine Editor.

Total waste of money.
Why? Loads more useful than an SUV and cheap holidays for the next 10 years plus…
Lol at what point was this convincing that this ford is better than a California? Each to their own.
If you want five belted seats or a built-in toilet it beats the California and you don’t have to let your kids out in the middle of the road as it has sliding doors on BOTH sides…
No solar panels on the roof?
You could get them fitted by your dealer. Few campers like this have them as standard
Fantastic! Which is why we never get these things in the U.S.
A ford transit is of an inferior design and build quality than almost every other van based platform from my experience as a mechanic. The conversion is down to semantics.
Hardly semantics, it’s the conversion that is the basis of most campervan buying decisions.
As for the Transit Custom, it’s Britain’s best-selling van, so it’s hardly surprising that you might see more in for repair. If it was that bad, it wouldn’t be so popular.
@MotorhomeCampervan sorry but the manufacturing quality of the interior and exterior trim is miles apart from Mercedes and VW, also the engineering of the mechanical parts also have a noticeable difference in quality as is the overall ride comfort,. I also drove a sprinter and a transit for extended periods and there is a huge difference in handling and load carrying comfort but some people just like them but it’s the same with every van, if you look after it well then it will last but I found the Mercedes has less faults over time. I drive a VW at the moment.
should have rear view camera
fuel cosumption, very good
You don’t by the vw camper because it’s the best you buy it as it’s trendy and to impress others. What they have don with this layout is very clever
The classic VW layout still works really well for a lot of buyers, but only if done properly.
Had to laugh with Nugget’s focus on the toilet!
My 5 bedroom, 3 bath, house in California, cost me $200,000k. So, Ford wants almost half the cost of a family house, for a van?
And, oh boy, 2 sliding doors, well why didn’t you say so in the beginning? Insane
Not sure what’s insane about two sliding doors!
Price is comparable with other campervans and a lot less than some “luxury” SUVs. Maybe things are cheaper in California?
Problem with the ford is its looks… it will never be a VW
That may be a problem when the next Transporter comes out and it’s basically the same van as the Ford!
I want it. Immediately 🥰
When you need to drop a nugget + in the toilet
In my comment just now re pop up roof on Nugget Plus I omitted to add my name- Alan Hobbs.
My comment on the Nugget Plus was to do with the pop roof being initially difficult to push up before the gas struts took over and in the reverse operation hard to roll up fabric without it coming down hard on your head. Anyone else had this problem ? Alan Hobbs
Yes, you always have the initial heave before the gas struts take over. There are a very few electric roofs on the market which get around this issue but it’s not a bit problem for most buyers.
@MotorhomeCampervan Many thanks, I’ll build up my arm muscles ! ASH
Did he just fart @ 8:54 whilst demonstrating the toilet? 😂
Err, no! Peter
Americans dont know how to design caravans.
This isn’t a caravan and it was designed in Germany…
