Ford Nugget Plus v California comparison

[Sad]

I thought the wet belt failures were about a change in the material they used to make them with. Something about trying to use ecofriendly materials. It didn't work!! And they've changed it back again!

Yes, though I never think rubber bathed in oil is a winning combo.

The bloke who thought of that should have been sacked on the spot

I confess, I went to a Ford Transit dealer to collect a van for the business. They had a Nugget in the lot, which I poked around.

I’m surprised to hear myself say (and write this), but if/when I bought another van, I would have the Nugget over the Cali.

Obviously the name sucks and the lineage/heritage is lacking (I’m a dyed in the wool VW air cooled freak from my teenage years on), but for usability and build, I would rate it above my T 6.1

There, I’ve said it out loud and in indelible format on a forum.

I’ll await the pitchforks.

I like the layout but only really works with the roof up. Kitchen is too close to the lowered roof.

Agreed, though I never use the burners without it up. 240V kettle and a Ecoflow for brews on the go.

Otherwise, I channel @wildslammer22 and brew on a shovel over an open fire.

Raises a few eyebrows at my local BP service station.

Not the same shovel you used to dig the cat hole I hope?
