Additional information: A really cool feature is that on the battery menu, the numbers in the bottom right hand corner actually show you an estimate of how much time you have based on current electrical usage and battery percentage. This could be very useful for wild camping or somewhere an electrical hookup isn’t available.Thanks Adrian again for this useful insight.
I have recently taken delivery of my Nugget plus highroof and even the ford dealer didnt know how to change the language on the new control panel. Thanks to your advice I have now done it after following your follow up comments. I have also got the Nugget plus Westfalia manual in German and I am currently trying to translate and revising the content to English as the Ford dealer was unable to provide one which is a pity as it has created a lot work to find out how things work. Greetings from Switzerland.
Hello David. I was just about to ask where in the UK you got a highroof... then saw you were in Switzerland! Greeting to you! Amazing that you've got your Nugget and hope you are enjoying it. Glad we could help. Shame about the manual- not sure if any of the UK based dealers would be able to help with that because the highroof is not for sale here. Good luck with it all and thanks for your message.
Hi, thanks. One other comment was that I spent ages wondering how to activate the taps on the nugget plus until I realised that the tap on/off switch is activated on the new control panel as well which was greyed out until you touch it. All are operating normally now. Didn't help until I reread the German manual! Hope I get a response from Westfalia soon for the english manual. thanks again. David
That was absolutely brilliant! Thanks Neil for doing this, I would never have guessed how to do it…it is strange that it seems to be a factory secret just to change the language. Ours was delivered in German too, and I don’t expect the dealer in Milan would have know this either, especially as ours was the first one they’d ever sold! The new screen and interface is spot on though, love it 😍
Glad to have been able to help and grateful to all the others that helped us find out the info too. Sounds like you are straight in there with getting to know the new van 😊👌
Hi, I’ve tried your trick, after a while I do get the menu but I have no options. My language is in English already but the clock at the top is displayed in 12h mode but the heaterschedule needs to be put in in 24h mode. I’ve seen screenshot of the clock in 24h mode.. any idea how to change that? Thanks!
Hi koen2000. Thanks for watching. Sorry we don't have the answer to that. Because we have the older Nugget without this control panel, it's not something we have access to try out unless we borrow a newer van. There are quite a few Facebook forums on the Nugget- this might be a good place to ask?
Hi Martin. We use the van as daily drive so use for day trips has been brilliant all year and in all weather- love being able to move completely around the van from the inside when it's raining, including use of the portable toilet etc. Great additions too like being able to start the van remotely and the heated windscreen are great features that really come to the fore in Winter months. Regarding campervanning- we've not done as much overnight trips over winter that we'd hoped (more due to illness than anything else) but we have had a trip earlier in February. Diesel heater is fab, especially being able to pre-set it to come on during the night. Pop top use - main consideration is wind and this weekend with red weather warning and high winds we've cancelled our trip. However- this is rare! We've used the pop top in winter months previously and with layers, good bedding it's been fine. Will all depend on the temp though I guess. We did a DIY pop top job for a recent trip earlier in February which had many plus points- we'll be discussing that on an upcoming vlog out in 2 weeks (6th March). Hope you'll find that helpful.
Hi! Thanks for watching and glad you found it useful. There are some in Europe but the ones we've come across so far on Facebook are 'Ford Nugget UK' and 'Ford Nugget Campervan Chat'. Hope that helps.
Also if not done already, check out Die2Mays + Van3Life : they are on UA-cam and know about European based forums and have a podcast. One of our favourite UA-cam channels is Cali Camper Family - they've just had a High Top Nugget Plus this week. Hope that helps.
Hello, love your vlogs!! Does the Nugget come with this display as standard or did you upgrade yours? I thought it had a little old style display in the front. Thanks. Greetings from Italy
Hi Stefano. This is the control panel on newer versions of the Nugget/ Nugget Plus (2021 but depends on month built). We filmed this in a subscribers van. Our Nugget is a 2020 version and the control panel is in the front cab. Control panel comes as standard. The type will depend on when the van was built. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching
Thanks Andreas. We've tried a few things, but we currently use Final Cut Pro 10 and are really happy with how it works for us. Still learning as we go and trying to improve!
@@SilverNuggetAdventure editing is time consuming. Im also learning but havent started uploading yet. I think you are doing great edits! We are collecting our van later this year but its not a nugget 😅
Thank you for this. I live in France and the waiting time for a new van was at least 18 months. I found one in Germany so I bought it. The user manual is all in German so I don't know how much of it works. From this post I can now change the language on the control panel but I still don't know how to operate some things such as the toilet. I tried paying to download the manual. It cost 30 euros, and guess what, it's in German. Can anyone advise on how to get a user manual in English?
I think a few people have had this issue. Have you spoken to your Ford Dealer? There are also a few forums on Facebook on the Nugget with lots of useful contributions and may be worth asking there too. Hopefully this is resolved soon. Happy adventuring.
I believe so. Personally I prefer the original panel in the front above the drivers mirror. Not as sophisticated but very handy for any adjustments or checks on the move.
Bonjour Jerry, J’ai exactement le même problème : le frigo a cessé de fonctionner. J’ai un Nugget Plus 2022. Le concessionnaire ne trouve pas la panne. Avez-vous trouvé une solution à votre problème ? Merci de votre réponse .
Don’t give up keep trying, it took me many attempts too. I think you swipe all across the top then for the vertical stroke of the T try stopping just short of the menu buttons (blue line) on the bottom of the screen. Watch our vlog again and notice how I stop slightly short on my last (successful ) attempt. That’s all I know good luck!!!

Did you manage to change the language? I didn’t make it 😩
Maybe my control panel doesn’t speak English 😅
@@elis_in_van7339 Maybe it's a 'contact your Ford Dealer' situation and get them to have a go?
@@SilverNuggetAdventure yes, but first I let my husband try 😅

Nice tips! Have you used the van “year round?” What is the Nugget like to live with in winter in the UK, especially with the pop top? Thanks.

Is this coming on all new Nuggets from now?
I believe so. Personally I prefer the original panel in the front above the drivers mirror. Not as sophisticated but very handy for any adjustments or checks on the move.
Depends on the build month of the van but essentially yes, the newer ones will from our understanding- Ford Nugget and the Nugget Plus.
my Fridge has stopped working. Iv'e changed the fuse but still can't turn it on. Any Ideas?
Hi Jerry- apologies only now seeing this. Hopefully sorted now but would advise going back to your Ford Dealer or nearest Dealer?
