The new Ford Transit Custom Nugget Camper is ready
to take up to four people on a trip, providing them with all the comfort
features required of a home away from home. Unveiled at the 2019 Brussels
Motor Show in Belgium, it was developed in collaboration with Westfalia and
comes in two different versions, with the ‘Plus’ long wheelbase offering some
extra equipment, as well as more space inside.
Based on the regular Transit Custom, the Nugget
Camper has a double bed that folds out in the roof space, and a second living
area with another double bed that folds out whenever needed. The L-shaped
kitchenette at the rear is equipped with a double-burner gas cooker, sink and
40-liter refrigerator, whereas fresh and waste water is supplied from the
on-board tanks.
There’s room for five people around the fold-out
table, and three more can sit on the forward-facing bench. Additionally, the
driver and passenger front seats swivel 180 degrees thanks to the folding
handbrake, and there’s another fold-out table with two more chairs available as
an optional extra.
Opting for the Transit Custom Nugget Camper Plus
means you get an even more spacious cabin. This is 36.7 cm longer
than the standard variant and adds a larger wardrobe, built-in toilet with
foldaway wash basin and high roof design.
Both camper vans feature auxiliary heating,
easy-to-clean wood-effect floor, rear privacy glass and flip-open windows. They
can be specced with a premium sound system and racks for bikes and sports
equipment. Power comes from a new 2.0-liter EcoBlue diesel engine, offered with
130 PS or 170 PS that can be paired to two
six-speed transmissions, a manual or an automatic one.
The Transit Custom Nugget Camper vans will launch
this spring in selected European markets such as Germany, Austria, Belgium,
Switzerland and Italy, with others to follow.
