I loved this video, it was full of family activity and holiday enjoyment in your Nugget. I can’t wait for the next episode. No wonder you needed a cognac at the end of the day 😁. Thanks for sharing.

[@Gmaillorraine]

Love your video and I'm voting you the best parents on KZbin. I'm jealous if the fantastic places you get to visit

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Enjoyed that very much as we had to abandon a trip down the Rhine so it is interesting to see what we missed. You all look to be having a fun time. Love Izzy’s washing up tips 👍 Looking forward to the next episode 😀🚐

Hi Ken. Your very inspirational for us too.

[@MrTyger11]

Another lovely video, loving the nugget.

[@juleshe01]

Another great video. As we haven’t yet picked up our Nugget we wondered if it was possible to use the hob, to make a cuppa, with the roof down. I guess you’ve answered that for us. Good news. Thanks.

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Great, glad you found that useful! We wondered the same before we got ours….and it’s one of the reasons we filmed that part. Thanks for watching ☺️👍🏻

[@markmangan845]

Very enjoyable 😊👍

[@Gmaillorraine]

Patiently waiting for a new video. Love your videos and your raising your wonderful kids perfectly. I’m in the USA and they don’t have these. We’re waiting 19 moths for 4wheel camper truck camper. You tempting me to think I want to figure out how to get one of these. Off topic but would love to know how you are in Italy and your journey to camping. My journey started years ago in a tent in the uk. It got awakened by you tube and watching someone camping ..vanlife..then truck camping so we can off road and wild camping. All of the truck camping is learning from others on here.

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Hi Lorraine, many thanks for your lovely message and apologies for the slow reply. Yes, theres a lot of learning from others on YT amd also finding inspiration. We are in Italy due to work reasons…we came and then stayed as we loved it. We’ve always loved road trips and touring so with kids we wanted to continue and enjoy exploring under our own steam as a family…the campervan is brilliant for this! Sorry its taken a while for another video E3 will be out later this month…life got a bit busy…I hope you stay subscribed for more, and good luck with your own travels! Jordan.

@@CaliCamperFamily thanyou for your reply..your one of my favorites channels i think about and wish I did more stuff like you do with my kids who are now grown. Were in Florida so im not complaining. My kids have visited the uk twice. Were never been to Italy and I don't want to go to Rome. I like the Italy you show and its more appealingly if we ever get there.

What a lovely adventure. Did you make the bike seats yourself for the girls. I think they are amazing. Take care Gill

[@stefanobattaglia4310]

Hello!! Love your videos!! What bike carrier are you using? I would like to buy a Thule XT 3 easy fold but I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to open the tailgate with the carrier tilted. Any suggestion? Greetings from Rome

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Ciao Stefan! It is call a Atera Strada DL. Perfect for the Nugget tailgate. Have a look at our Instagram account as I’ve just made an adaptation to carry skis 🎿 too. We are thinking of taking our new Nugget to Rome, maybe this summer…you might know of somewhere safe to park in the centre ofnthe city for a night or two🤔☺️

[@hungrythirstytravellers]

Just discovered your channel and we’re really enjoying your videos, keep them up! Quick question, what are your foldable camping chairs? They look great and very practical.

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Thank you! Yes, the chairs are brilliant. We can fit 5 in the small cupboard next to the sliding door. We bought them from a store called Decathlon. Similar are available from Amazon however, but we don’t know if they are as good as these ones. Thanks for watching, Jordan.

[@tombosson]

Would be curious to see how you guys pack for trips in the Nugget vs your video you did in the Cali a while back. We are thinking of switching as love the Nugget layout but not sure how we can juggle things like our awning, pushchair and all the kids stuff without the dedicated boot space you get with the Cali

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Hi Tom. Always an interesting question this and I ought to do a video on it, like you say! IMHO, the Nugget is a much better solution than the California layout, providing you don’t need it to be a work horse of a van for work etc. The boot is always a talking point, but it is actually much, much better than a California mainly because we always had to empty the boot on our California to set up the downstairs bed. This meant it was hard to stealth or free camp anywhere (in a town etc). Also, as the downstairs bed swamps the downstairs area, you need outside space when set up. With the Nugget, you pack the cupboards and place overflow/bulky items in the kitchen (awning, push chair etc)…but you can still use both beds with things in the ‘boot’. Hope that helps! 😎

[@tombosson]

@@CaliCamperFamily thanks for your thoughts guys, we have gone ahead and pulled the trigger on a new NP stock van that should hopefully be with us by end of July! 😃

[@philwisson3933]

Hi there - what tow bar bike rack are you using please? Does the tilt allow the back tailgate to open up unobstructed even if only by a few inches? Are there any problems with this? Thanks

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Hi Phil. The bike rack is called an Atera Strada DL. This is the 3rd van we have used it on and it works perfectly. On the Transit, the tailgate clears the rack by about 10mm…I’m always careful though. If your towbar is mounted quite low, then you may ground out the rack when sliding it rearwards which means the tailgate may not clear it….particularly important when you park with rising ground behind you. Depending on your towbar, you might be able to add spacers or alter the height of the tow ball to suit. I must have done over 20,000miles with this one and apart from an issue with a worn safety catch, its been awesome. Expensive but its justified. Thanks for watching, J.

[@philwisson3933]

@@CaliCamperFamily thanks for letting me know will give it a try on ours!

[@williamclark3572]

What cycle carrier is that? Can it take 3 cycles? Can it fit inside the van?

[@CaliCamperFamily]

It’s the Atera Strada DL. It can take up to 4 bikes. It could go inside the van, but not comfortably. We never place inside.

[@williamclark3572]

Where did you get the nets are they good for midges?

[@CaliCamperFamily]

I just bought generic fly screens from the DIY store and adapted them. Yes, works for everything.
