Blanche – 2p Volkswagen bus uit 2020

Meet Blanche!

Blanche is a converted Volkswagen Crafter, a reliable and not too big van, ideal for getting anywhere you want!
The bus is uniquely equipped and furnished with an eye for detail and user-friendliness. Every space has a function and purpose.

The automatic transmission makes for a smooth ride, especially for long distances and traffic jams. The bus also features cruise control and CarPlay/Android Auto for playing your favorite tunes or navigating with ease.

The kitchenette is equipped with 3 gas burners, 1 large and 2 small, an oven, a pump basin with drainage to the grey water tank, cold and hot water, a fridge with freezer compartment and plenty of space to store all your cooking utensils.

The sleeping area features a pull-out bed; the two "pillows" along the sides serve as extensions of the mattress to create a bed 1.90 m long and 1.40 m wide. There's also storage space right next to the bed on both sides, which makes the bed feel larger. I'm 1.85 m tall and can sleep perfectly in the bed.

For electricity, there's a 200Ah battery that charges via the alternator, shore power, or the solar panel. The inverter can deliver a maximum power of 1500W at 230V, so keep this in mind if you're connecting a kettle that draws more power, for example.
