Another great video, a little jealous of the boat trip, unfortunately, my crew are not interested in getting out on the water! A pool is all they go for! Some tight spots on those sites, that would be fun towing my trailer. Never been caught out yet, nearly but not quite! Keep up the great work.
Boat trip was a highlight and well worth doing for a day…mind you, we do love boats and as you say, it’s not the idea of a perfect day for everyone! Trailer is a compromise, and sometimes I think maybe I should have taken it with me! One day, I’ll put my van on a weigh bridge too…🫣. Thanks for watching, as always 👍
Thanks Isla…the boat trip was certainly one of the highlights of the holiday! Ps…received your message from the other day and am working on a plan to review the new Nugget. I wish I could get my hands on a press car….let’s see 😃
My daughter and I love watching your videos. Looks like you had a great time! Can I ask what brand this E-Bike is you are driving with poppy and holly on the back? Looking forward to your next video.
Hi 👋…nice that you watch together! The orange bike is called a Yuba cargo bike. However, we have now sold it and replaced with a more powerful eBike called ‘Fiido Pro’. Soon, we will be featuring this new bike on our channel. If you check out Instagram, @calicamperfamily you can see it there already. Best wishes and thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for saying! Nice to have feedback! As regards the house, there’s been a few minor delays but we are due to start this month, finally!!!
I really enjoyed the video as usual. I have a technical Question for you. When you rotate the drivers seat, do you have to release the handbrake (you do in mine!) Which makes it tricky using chocks! So wondering if the nugget works the same way
Hello! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, my Nugget came as standard with a retractable handbrake. Hence, you apply it and then it drops again to the floor allowing free movement of the rotating seats. Best wishes from us all 😃
hey guys, nice vids! just a question regarding the nugget plus vs the cali if you can tell me pls: how much do you feel the hard top while driving, compared to the regular cali? i like a lot the setup of the nugget but it seems very wobbly in taking turns when compared to the Cali. thanks and safe trips!
Hello! Good question! Firstly, both drive well and probably better than most other vans in this size/class. The Nugget Plus isn’t as spritely as the standard Nugget and you do notice the extra height and length (both mine having 185bhp engines). The standard California is somewhere in between, and feels heavier than the same sized Nugget. Yes, you do feel the extra height of the high top compared to a pop top, but it honestly is a very small detriment and in my opinion is a small compromise for all the other benefits a hard top gives you. The high top is still great to drive and isn’t ‘wobbly’…it doesn’t feel top heavy….just bigger. Crosswinds on the motorway do effect you more though. Fuel consumption is not much difference either, slightly more drag but shouldn’t be a deciding factor. Always try to spec the most powerful engine variant as this is what will make most difference between all these vans in terms of driving fun. A slow camper when loaded will be tiresome, body roll on the corners is expected - it’s a camper after all! But both the Ford and the VW are very impressive vans to drive. Hope that helps ☺️
Another great one, it had everything that demonstrates your rock star life, island hopping, boats, flying (well drones really) and a bit of Hollywood.
Haha…funny, I like it! It summarises it very welI I think! Well, as much of a rock star-life as we can manage with 3 kids along for the ride! 😂👍
Very enjoyable, great vid 😊👍😎
Thanks Mark, best wishes from us all 👍
