Editor's Note: This news item was retrieved and first published through New Atlas' website.
New Atlas reports on the Ford Transit Nugget mini-camper which is being rolled out in European markets by Ford. Already available in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, the Nugget debuted in the UK at the recent NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show, with prices starting at £56,273 (approx. US$72,375). Ford Europe is promoting the camper with a new "Great Escapes" video series highlighting Ford vehicle adventures.
Converted by Westfalia, the Nugget packs an L-shaped kitchen, forward lounge and upstairs bedroom into its 16.4-ft. length. The pop-up roof and convertible lounge allow the van to sleep four people and seat five. Available driver-assistance features include intelligent adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping aid, and blind-spot information system with trailer tow. Ford recently added the Ford Pass Connect modem and Wi-Fi hotspot to the Nugget options, providing Wi-Fi signal for up to 10 devices 49 ft. away from the van. The company has not released any plans to bring the Nugget to North American markets.
