Hi Sylvia, thanks for your lovely comments. The girls are growing and changing quickly and it surprises us too! It made me smile when I read you got your cheese, biscuits and wine ready, its lovely to hear! More Nugget adventures on the way too, hoping to get another travel video edited before we set off to Croatia (and beyond!) next week - we can’t wait (you’ll need double cheese and biscuits for those!) 😉😃

Hello to both of you!!! Thanks for watching us again and your lovely comments…we love making these videos especially for future times and to be able to look back as the girls grow. Their joy is golden! Yes, the new Nugget is proving much easier in wet weather too….a cosy cacoon, we love it! Izzy had a great birthday thanks, she reads all the comments and loves seeing her name mentioned ☺️. Happy travels and thanks again 🙏

Thanks, we’ll give that a try 👍

Thanks Russell! Its nice that you enjoy it in this way, we don’t plan anything with the filming so it is ‘as we are doing it’…the Nugget is an awesome thing to own, we absolutely love it! Izzy is happy that you wished her a happy birthday 🥳 thank you 👍🏻. New video on the way very soon 😃

Thats an awesome comment!!! And thanks for saying….we aim to do exactly as you mention so its nice to hear we are showing useful content that’s enjoyed. Campers are awesome!

Thanks Alan, lovely thing to say ☺️👍🏻

Thanks Lorraine, yes, we are certainly big kids too! 🤪…thanks for the lovely comments, best wishes, J and family.

Thanks Elaine! Glad you enjoy watching and you like the Nugget 👍🏻…yes, girls are growing fast, it keeps surprising me!

Hello its Issy awww thank you so much for the lovely feedback 😊

@@CaliCamperFamily 😘

Cheers Hans!

Many thanks Beverley, very kind of you to say 😃. And yes, it is frightening how fast they grow up 😨!

I know, it’s frightening 😨😳

Hi Richard, we can highly recommend it 👍🏻. Also, it is certainly worth spending several days driving around the lake, it is spectacular 😎👍🏻. Good lick and happy travels, Jordan,

Glad you like it 😃👍🏻

Hi its Issy thank you so much for the comment and I can’t believe Australia WOW 🤩

Hello! You are spot on there….the Nugget High Top works brilliantly for a family and is much, much easier to out in ‘camping mode’…well described 👍🏻. We still love the California too (especially our previous one!), but this suits us much more nowadays mainly due to the awesome layout/convenience inside 😎👍🏻

Cheers Mark! 😎👍🏻

Thanks for saying (&watching!) 👍

Hi its Izzy thank you so much for the birthday wishes. Best of wishes Izzy. ☺️

Hi Amanda-Jayne! Glad you enjoyed our video and I’ve passed on your birthday wishes, Issy is very happy ☺️. At the moment, the high top is not available in the UK for some reason 🤔…but maybe it will be in the future. Thanks for the lovely comments, all the best, Jordan.

I think you might be right 🤔😉…thanks for watching 👍🏻

Hi Simon, good question 👍🏻. I do have a small video on this which we’re yet to publish…so watch out for that. But in short, I use my existing Atera bike rack and have adapted it to accept a bolt on frame. On top of the frame, the box sits and it has 4 holes drilled through the base to secure the box to the new frame. Also, underneath is still clear/useable for skii’s etc. Hope that helps, Jordan.

A good call…but it ain’t going to happen!

Hi Steve. Campervanning is perfect for retirement, especially with the comforts and benefits of having your own facilities with you wherever you go; and for bird watching it would be a perfect companion. As regards convincing your partner, this can be a problem. I have spoke to and have had lots of messages of the last few years from people (men and women) whose other half won’t even consider it. It’s such a shame, really. Modern campervans and motorhomes can offer superb on board facilities and we’d choose our camper anyday over a hotel, especially after COVID. Renting a nice one for a long weekend might be a good starting point…I hope you can achieve it, it’s truely wonderful! 😎

@@CaliCamperFamily Renting one may be the way to go just got to make sure it's on a warm & sunny weekend!

Thankyou! Yes, the the beds are really good 👍🏻. Waterproofs more or less dried out, but I put the shoes in the plastic back-box overnight which was a school boy error!

Thanks Piezi! Yes, we still use it, it is the rack in this video. I will probably buy a new one soon, as this one is showing its age now, but we have used it extensively and works perfectly with the Nugget 👍🏻

@@CaliCamperFamily Thank you for your nice quick reply. That helps a lot. I also happen to have the same box :) That's how my eyes fell on the trailer. I need it for an e-bike with a dog trailer and a box that doesn't tip over and can therefore serve as a table. For many purposes - that's how I love it. I'm looking forward to your next video :)

Thanks Gerry! Very funny 😄

An excellent question! I am researching both the new Nugget and the new California at the moment. I hope to release a video soon. However, as regards the new Nugget, I have my reservations due to the revised practicality of the interior. I’d be interested to know what you think? Are you a Nugget owner too?

@@CaliCamperFamily Sadly not, I’m trying to persuade my caravan loving ‘other half’ to make the change, so still in the researching phase myself. We only have one child left but have one of those dog creatures which complicates matters. Just watched a good German review of the new Nugget, 16 minutes by Clever Campen. Some nice new cab features, no handbrake or gear lever, so flat floor. Nicer materials, as based on the Tourneo not the builders van now. More USBs. Heated rear bench (and therefore bed) BUT, the kitchen is less practical as the gas cylinder has changed location. The fridge is now smaller, bad but a drawer, good. Lots to consider. Needs a side by side review… by you. Can you get a press car ?

Hello. Yes, it is noticeable with strong cross winds. You can easily control it, but it’s the same with any taller van. As regards corners, it still handles very well with only a small bit of extra roll compared to the pop-top. 😎

Much better for storage, so suits us much better! It’s superb to drive, quiet and refined. Not quite as quick or manoeuvreable. It does feel bigger and not as agile as the short wheel base pop top so not as easy to use as an everday car. But, brilliant!

We just pulled the base of the seat/bed more upright and moved the two front seats rearwards to support it 👍🏻

Hi, it’s not been a problem. Toilet before bed and they usually sleep through. Very rarely have we had to get up to help them. Thanks for watching!
