Type of Heating: Wood burning stove. Conversion Story: Mont blanc began life as a humble builders' Transit. We bought her after a long and careful hunt. She was hand-converted by the owners with inspiration from alpine chalets. The conversion started with the dream of taking her on a ski trip for the maiden journey, which we did (for 3 weeks!) in December 2019. Her cosy wood burner, quaint decor and painted mountain scenes are combined with clean bright white so she looks good all year round. Rest assured that Mont Blanc has been road tested in the harshest of environments and we can report that she is as comfortable as a van could ever be! We do not recommend that Mont Blanc is off-grid until March 2021 if wanting to use the refrigerator as the solar will not be sufficient. Please note that Mont Blanc has a new exterior look.
