A long-wheelbase campervan with integrated self-containment.
The Ford Transit Custom Nugget Plus is a 4-berth campervan built on a 5.34m long-wheelbase chassis. It distinguishes itself from the standard Nugget by incorporating a permanent rear cassette toilet and folding washbasin. The Westfalia conversion utilises an L-shaped rear galley layout, creating distinct zones for cooking and relaxing, while the tilt-roof provides a secondary double bed. With a 3400kg MTPLM and 653kg payload, it balances daily drivability with the facilities required for extended touring.
- Long-wheelbase chassis measuring 5.34m in length to accommodate a permanent rear toilet.
- Four-berth sleeping configuration via a pop-up tilt roof and converted lower seating.
- Rear L-shaped kitchen layout featuring a 40L fridge and twin-burner gas hob.
- Westfalia three-room concept designed to separate cooking and living zones.
- Payload capacity of 653kg within a 3400kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: The 5.34m length and longer wheelbase may require more care when parallel parking in urban environments. Storage for large items like surfboards is restricted when the pop-top roof is in the lowered position.
Buying a Ford Transit Custom Nugget Plus
Who it suits
- Tourers who require a compact van but refuse to compromise on a permanent onboard toilet.

Reasons to consider it

What to check

- Inspect the condition of the Westfalia cabinetry and the 40L fridge unit.

| Ford Transit Custom Nugget Plus | 4 | 3400 kg | 5.34 m | £55,000 to £82,000 |

The Ford Transit Custom Nugget Plus occupies a specific niche, offering a 5.34m length that sits between standard short-wheelbase vans and larger 5.41m alternatives like the Elddis Whirlwind or Dreamer D43. While the Nugget Plus focuses on a unique L-shaped rear kitchen and permanent toilet, competitors often trade this specific layout for higher MTPLM ratings or different price points. Its 653kg payload is competitive for a 4-berth conversion of this size.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the external shower connector for cleaning gear before storage to maintain the interior Westfalia finishes.
- Regularly service the cassette toilet and folding washbasin mechanisms located in the rear extension.
- Monitor the 3400kg MTPLM when fully loaded for 4-berth trips to stay within legal weight limits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 653kg payload by installing heavy permanent accessories without recalculating remaining capacity.
- Misjudging the 2.11m height when entering car parks with restrictive barriers.
Worth knowing: Always ensure the pop-up roof is fully secured and clear of obstructions before driving.
