Conversion Story: Chamonix began life as a Yodel delivery van before Laura & Jacqui bought her to convert. She was a perfect base van for them as she had been well looked after and serviced with low mileage. Laura & Jacqui converted her according to their model van build design which is very similar to the van they live full time in. It features their beautiful live edge work tops, copper features such as a hand built copper tap, copper lights and copper and oak shelves.
Laura and Jacqui know how important it is that we maximise the use of space with plenty of easy to use storage and equipment, whilst maintaining a space that feels open and easy to move around in without squeezing past each other or making up beds everyday.
