Designed with winter road tripping in mind, the new Ford Nugget High Roof is a versatile year-round mini-adventure machine. While priced above an equivalent Nugget pop-top, the High Roof still rolls to market at under €85,500 (US$100,000).

Built on the same Transit Custom as Ford's Nugget camper van, the new Westfalia Kipling features a layout more similar to a full-size van camper, just shrunken down into mid size. "Kipling" is a solid name, but we think of it as the "Twisted Nugget."

Ford has been busily debuting new Nugget camper vans over the past few years, and it's now preparing to reveal the one it calls "completely winter-proof." The fully hard-sided four-sleeper Nugget High Roof will offer something VW doesn't.

After reemerging on the American market in 2024, Westfalia is taking a step closer to the beloved Westies of the past. The Wave SRT is its smallest, nimblest new camper van, a right-sized family camper that has space for four on the road and at camp.

Westfalia updated one of van life's icons at this year's Düsseldorf Caravan Salon. The simpler, more streamlined James Cook camper van does away with the added bulk of an expansion module, going for faster four-sleeper setup, on or off road.

While Westfalia Americas was busy this week with a US relaunch, the brand's German HQ was showing its own new products. The Club Joker Urban camper arrives as a small, versatile Ford Nugget alternative ready to escape into the open-skied yonder.

Westfalia announced a US return last year and is now preparing to reveal its first new camper van for the market. The all-new Wave brings serious family-sized sleeping capacity, smart home controls, plus a flexible floor plan for gear and people.

Iconic German camper van brand Westfalia is deep in plans for a grand American return. Its new van won't be based on a Volkswagen, but it will be a classic pop-top with sleeping space for the family.

The Ford Nugget family resides at the top of our list of cool, clever European camper vans. It gets even better as Ford previews a Nugget Plus in ruggedized Trail guise that brings extra traction, dual sliding doors and Raptor-like looks.

Westfalia may still be known for classic VW pop-tops, but it continues to innovate into the future with versatile, new campers. It shrinks the new Kepler Five to mini-campervan size so it can move from everyday commuting to high-mileage road trips.

As beloved as it is, the VW California often draws a big criticism: no bathroom. Ford offers a bathroom on its Nugget camper van, and now it adds a pop-up roof. The pop-top Nugget Plus brings extra convenience to a smart, multi-room camper with WC.

The Westfalia Sven Hedin jumps from VW Crafter to MAN TGE, and it's loaded with clever solutions like a sidewall expansion, forward-folding bed/storage garage and split fridge.
