Ford Nugget Exterior

Starting at the front of the vehicle, the Custom Nugget comes standard with front fog lights and parking sensors to assist the driver. It has the additional feature of colour-coded front bumper components that are very pleasing to the eye. For driving aid, comfort and convenience, the Ford Custom Nugget also has rear parking sensors.

Colour schemes on the Ford Transit Nugget are very well coordinated with bumper colour codes that match the window frames. All windows on the Ford Transit Custom Nugget are heated and glazed.

A water filling tank is located on the side of the Nugget. This is lockable and easily accessible. It also has an accelerated electric socket that allows you to connect to the mains on the campsite, which is very handy when you’ve been away from home for a while and need to get back in touch with technology.

Campervan lifestyle

 

When you take a look inside the Ford Transit Custom Nugget, you’ll notice that the build quality is exceptional. This is based on the Ford Transit van, since it comes with a lot of the van’s standard kits. It’s one of the best things to love about this campervan.

Ford-Nugget-Seats

 

The Ford Transit Nugget has three rear travel seats, an easily removable table, as well as a swivel driver and a front passenger seat that are both heated.

There is plenty of head height in the back of the camper. As you enter the Ford Nugget from the back, the first thing you’ll notice is that you have a shower. Unfortunately, this is a cold shower. The Ford Nugget camper sink, on the other hand, can provide you with both hot and cold water. It’s worth mentioning that the Nugget has no bathrooms, so you’ll have to get creative, including the likes of utilizing the campsite’s toilets.

Included with the Ford Nugget camper, are the fantastic camping chairs and foldaway table, which is stored by the back of the camper.

Two gas hobs are located next to the sink. You’ll also find a 38-litre fridge that is always kept running without difficulty. You also have swan neck lights at the back of the campervan that can bend to your suiting. There are also lots of remarkable storage spaces available, so you won’t have to worry about over-packing. A dimmer switch is located next to the storage box, allowing you to adjust the brightness in the campervan. This is ideal for when you’re driving late at night and the kids in the backseat are playing a game of cards, or if you simply just need some light while you sleep.

Sleeping

Ford-Nugget-Bed

 

A double bed can be made by folding down the rear bench seats. In order to fit the bed, all front seats must be swivelled around, so they face the wheel. Despite typical British weather when it’s lashing down rain, you can walk to the kitchen of your camper to grab a snack and drink without leaving your vehicle! It couldn’t be easier.

As well as your converted bed, you have a top bunk that also contains a double bed. There is a safety net at the entrance of the bunker bed, so kids can’t roll out, so you can avoid any nasty accidents on your trip. For reference, someone who is 6ft 3 was perfectly able to sleep in the bunker and had plenty of space. The beds themselves are remarkably spacious and soft, you will actually forget you’re sleeping in a campervan! If this doesn’t make you want to finance a Ford Nugget today, ready for your summer holidays, what does?

Driving experience

It’s a really nice campervan to drive with a chunky steering wheel just like you would find in Ford vans. Driving the Ford Transit Nugget even feels like driving a van a lot of the time, which gives you the sense of just how comfortable it is. As you would expect to find from the standard Ford Transit Custom Nugget, it has a load of driver features and comforts.

Ford-Nugget-Wheel

 

Starting with the steering wheel, there is cruise control, speed limit functions and controls for your phone for hands-free driving. On the dashboard, there is a traffic sign recognition feature. Along with this, you have your basic fundamental vehicle features such as wiper functions, headlight functions etc. The Ford Nugget standard 16-inch alloy wheels are another standard feature on the Custom Nugget.

Moving to the entertainment system, you can enjoy the convenience of touchscreen, along with Radio and Bluetooth. This model has the added feature of a satellite navigation system. Below this, comes a variety of driver comfort feature buttons, such as air-con and seat heating. So you have everything you need to enjoy a long drive.

Ford-Nugget-Dashboard

This particular campervan features a 6 speed 185ps manual transmission. With the Ford Transit Nugget, you may also choose to get the 130ps manual or the 185ps automatic. 

There is plenty of space in the cabin, with handy storage pockets on the dashboard. A USB port with 12 Volts is located behind your steering wheel.

Overall, the Ford Custom Nugget is a practical campervan that allows you to travel with ease. Whether you’re on the road or relaxing under the stars, this camper is loaded with excellent functionality.
