Ford of Europe is teasing a new camper van that is set to be unveiled on August 24. The company promises that this model will make outdoor trips an experience of a lifetime, embracing the popular "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 ample room to stand inside the van.

Although there isn't much else to see from the teasers, the van is expected to have 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. Ford has been tight-lipped about the model, but it is speculated that it could be the redesigned Transit Custom Nugget, based on the rear quarter glass and the timing of its introduction. The redesigned van was unveiled last September, and the camper van variant is likely to debut at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon later this week.

While full details are yet to be revealed, the Transit Custom is known to offer various powertrain options, including EcoBlue diesels with outputs ranging from 108 hp to 168 hp. There are also plug-in hybrid and electric variants available.
