The Camper Van Revolution: Ford’s Big Nugget at Düsseldorf!
Welcome to the world of camper vans, where the skies are the limit and your bathroom is but a few steps away! Get ready to be blown away—not just because of the fresh air and freedom, but by Ford’s latest addition: the Big Nugget! Presenting this masterpiece at the Düsseldorf Caravan Fair 2019, Ford has truly outdone itself (in a good way, of course)… unless you think “Big Nugget” sounds like something you’d get from a dodgy takeaway… but I digress!
What’s Cookin’ Inside This Behemoth?
So, what makes Ford’s Big Nugget stand out in the sea of camper vans? Well, it has been lovingly crafted hand-in-hand with the German wizards at Westfalia because, let’s face it, the Germans do know a thing or two about precision. The Ford Transit Personalized Nugget—a name that just rolls off the tongue!—is just the start. They went ahead and stitched together this beauty, creating a version that makes you wonder: if my house is too small, can I just live in here instead?
The Specs: Space-Crazy Luxury Awaits!
This van ain’t your typical run-of-the-mill transport. We’re talking a 6-meter long chassis with a 2-meter internal height—perfect for those of us contemplating whether it’s worth taking up Dwelling in a Van as a full-time gig! With a whopping 13 m² of internal space and four cleverly designed living zones, you’ll have more room than in the average London shoebox.
Heavy Duty Comfort: Bringing Hotel Luxury to the Great Outdoors
And for all you comfort-seekers out there, worry not! The driver and passenger seats swivel around like cheap disco moves to join the social party in the living room—sorry, I mean sleeping area. And yes folks, it gets better: there’s a fully fitted bathroom segregated from your kitchen quarters. Finally, you can shower without risking an accidental trip over the gas stove. That’s right! You can do your business, wash your hands, and then start cooking breakfast without feeling like you’ve walked through a swamp first.
Now, speaking of breakfast, let’s not forget the kitchen where two gas stoves, a sink, and a refrigerator fit snugly within. That’s right, a 70-liter fridge to keep your snacks as cold as your ex’s heart! So whether you’re whipping up a five-star meal or simply trying to figure out how long that yogurt has been in there, you’ll have the facilities at your disposal.
Is It Time for the Nugget to Fly?
So, what’s the catch, you may ask? As of now, the Ford Big Nugget is still just a concept—not a production model ready to hit the road on your next camping adventure. Ford is showing this beast off at their stand at the Caravan Show, which means they’re just teasing us for now. Come on Ford, just give the people what they want! We might even forgive you for that “Focus” disaster!
Conclusion: Is the Big Nugget Worth the Hype?
The Big Nugget is definitely stirring up excitement among campervan enthusiasts—who wouldn’t want a mobile fortress? It’s versatile, spacious, and has the charm to lure anyone wanting to escape city life to the open road, ideally with a can of beans in one hand and a pint in the other. But until it hits the production line, you’ll have to settle for gazing longingly at the concept and dreaming of weekend getaways in style.
So, keep an eye on Ford; you never know when you might get the chance to live the camper van dream—because why not go big or go home? Or, to put it another way, why not go big *in* your home on wheels?

**Alex:** It’s definitely a game-changer! With 13 cubic meters of interior space and four living zones, it really overshadows the cramped feeling many smaller vans can have. It’s almost like living in a studio apartment, just on wheels. That’s seriously appealing for both short trips and long-term living.
**Host:** The Big Nugget has been developed in collaboration with Westfalia. Do you think that partnership enhances the design and functionality?
