The Ford Nugget camper van, a joint project with Westfalia based on the Ford Transit, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026. A limited retro series with a black-and-white design and pop-up roof is now available in Europe from €89,646.
The Ford Nugget camper van marks its 40th anniversary in 2026. The model was introduced in 1986 as a joint project between Ford and Westfalia on the Ford Transit platform. For the anniversary, a limited retro series has been released, styled after the original black-and-white design.
The special edition features a pop-up roof with additional sleeping space and special badging, but is technically identical to the base model on the Transit chassis with a 2.0-liter diesel engine. Over four decades, the model evolved from a basic camper into a family of versions, including models with a private bathroom and all-wheel-drive off-road variants. In 2023, the fifth generation arrived with a hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive.
The camper is already available for order in Europe starting at €89,646, with first deliveries scheduled for spring.

Europe's recreational vehicle market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% through 2030. Professional operators are shifting from a lifestyle approach to logistics-driven procurement with total cost of ownership calculations. Key investments include tire pressure monitoring systems like the GR-TPMS RV01, designed for mixed terrain and large vehicles, offering real-time data and fuel savings. Certified TPMS installation is now recognized by major European insurers and increasingly required for EU compliance.
The European Parliament's Transport Committee adopted its position on May 5, 2026, regarding the modernization of EU roadworthiness testing rules. For motorhome and camper van owners, the key development is the rejection of the European Commission's proposal to require annual inspections for vehicles over ten years old, deemed disproportionate. Instead, new rules introduce the possibility of having inspections done abroad while on holiday and stricter measures against odometer fraud.
