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

Ford of Europe is teasing a new camper van that is set to be unveiled on August 24. The company promises that the model will make your next outdoors trip an experience of a lifetime, embracing the "VanLife" trend.

The teaser videos show glimpses of the exterior, revealing a sliding side window and a pop-up roof equipped with a solar panel. With the roof raised, there will be enough room to stand inside the van.

Inside, the van features classy 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 model could be the redesigned Transit Custom Nugget. The timing aligns with the introduction of the redesigned van last September, and the camper van variant is expected to debut at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon.

The Transit Custom is available with various powertrains, including EcoBlue diesels with outputs ranging from 108 hp to 168 hp, as well as plug-in hybrid and electric variants.
