Ford's European Camper Van: A Potential Transit Custom Nugget

Ford of Europe is set to introduce a new camper van that is equipped with a pop-up roof featuring a solar panel. The company has recently unveiled a range of new vans and is now gearing up for the camper van's debut. The model, which will be revealed on August 24, aims to provide an unforgettable outdoor experience and embrace the popular "VanLife" trend.

The teaser videos released by Ford give us a sneak peek at the exterior of the camper van. We can see a sliding side window and a pop-up roof with a solar panel. When the roof is raised, there will be enough space to stand inside the van. Although not much else is shown, the van is expected to have elegant counters, a refrigerated drawer, zippered window coverings, and a rear touchscreen display for adjusting the color changing lighting system. There also appears to be a sink and an external shower head or washer.

While Ford has not provided many details, it is speculated that the new camper van could be the redesigned Transit Custom Nugget. The timing of the debut aligns with the introduction of the redesigned Transit Custom, and the rear quarter glass suggests that the camper van is based on this model. The Transit Custom, which was introduced last September, offers various powertrain options including EcoBlue diesels, plug-in hybrid, and electric variants.
