We had the privilege of being one of the first guests to rent this new Ford Nugget. Beautiful car, with ingenious thinking: ° Every cm is optimally used to transport passengers + luggage. ° Equipped for 4 people and in terms of sleeping space that is certainly fine. ° In terms of room to move (and moving luggage when converting) I would only really recommend it for 4 people in the summer, either with a trailer or an extra tent. Compactness always requires a little room comfort. We went with only 2 people, and that went really well! We didn't use the upstairs sleeping place, so the roof didn't even have to be opened. The hostess and host are extremely friendly and really pampered us more than expected. A few little extras ensured that relaxed holiday feeling, which always starts a bit exciting. As well as a good briefing in advance (e.g. in terms of electronics on board). The Ford Transit Nugget was unprecedented for us, but it is a special spicy car, even in the mountains. I would even say, spicier than a VW van. • Our consumption was 8.5 liters (= little, considering its weight). 6 gears, many automatic options, and (not unimportantly) allowed in all European LE zones • The Ford Nugget does not look like a classic camper (-> you can drive/park in zones where normal mobile homes are not allowed) • You can go from the driver's seat to the kitchen or trunks at the back, without getting out. • You can cook without having to fold up your big bed every day (necessary with a normal camper van). • The back door serves as a large (functional) shelter, just like the retractable awning. • We went skiing with the camper, but beware, everything requires some mature organization to keep things clean and handy. No festival bus! • Swiveling front seats. Tip: practice converting the back seat into a bed in advance. • The compact camper had everything you need: kitchen, drinking & gray water, toilet, (outdoor) shower, heating, storage cupboards, extra gas fire, pots, pans, cutlery, plates and bags. Only bring (under) sheets + sleeping bag / blanket. The car is located in Lummen (crossroads of the 2 Flemish “Routes De Soleil” E313 and E314). We could leave our own car there. All this made it the ideal choice for us to drive from Antwerp to Winterberg and stay there for a few nights in a very budget-friendly way. Worth repeating! David & Alex
