EPIC Mercedes Sprinter VAN TOUR. Inside look at an APE VAN. Inspirational.

[@TK-Touring]

The quality of APE builds are just unrivalled. The outside is OEM++, and the interior is absolutely lush. I think this is the van everyone secretly aspires to!

[@urbanarkoverland]

Great comment. Thanks

[@thrivans]

As a fellow van builder, we've been fans fo Ape Adventure vans on Instagram or a while now. Glad to hear you all will be doing more on KZbin. Welcome! Congrats on another awesome build. Beautiful craftsmanship!

[@urbanarkoverland]

Thank you sir

[@jasonnicol8302]

That van is top shelf material. Stunning.

[@urbanarkoverland]

It sure is

[@WayneMillsKidals]

Well done Andy. Looks amazing. Very much looking forward to joining the ape owners club

[@urbanarkoverland]

Wait a minute. Hang on…..

[@darrensalter1540]

The best uk build to date, there is no one out there doing the same quality and it doesn't have the caravn style interior. Want one 😂

[@urbanarkoverland]

You are not wrong my friend. Total perfection.

Everything Andy does is outstanding. His attention to detail is second to none. He's lucky to have a mate like you to enthuse over his builds! Great video! 😊

[@urbanarkoverland]

Ha. We stand there thanking each other. Thanks for filing it. No thanks for letting me ha ha

[@apeadventurevans]

Indeed I am very lucky to have a mate like Aidan flying the APE flag. His enthusiasm for these vans is completely genuine which I whole heartedly do appreciate. As do I all the pozi vibes the UAO van tours generate regarding my passion. Thank you for your comment it really does mean something 👊🏻🦍

[@robww5921]

Great van as always! And great video too, doing it all justice

[@urbanarkoverland]

Thank you sir.

[@paulhowes3788]

Fantastic video, always like your walkarounds and you've teamed up with the best. Big van pop-top's are another level. Our ATEK roof has changed the game especially coming from a small van with a pop-top. I feel the pop-top wins over roof racks, especially using the van with a family. Andy is an inspiration with these van builds and i cant wait to see the next One note, keep your hand out of the shot, the camera focuses on it 🙃🙃

[@urbanarkoverland]

Ha. I don’t mind when it focuses and refocuses. A bit of ‘where did it go’ ha ha Cheers mate. His vans truly are the best

[@antmck33]

These are the Storyteller vans of the UK!! Absolutely love the finish on these.

Lovely huh.

Fantastic Build, Like the roof systems of previous vans, but this pop top has swayed me. Great walkaround as always!

[@urbanarkoverland]

Offers so much doesn’t it.

[@DeanCoulsonOfficialPage]

@@urbanarkoverland yes, as you said in the video, it's all the little but clever touches. I have a T6 camper conversion currently and it made me think what else can I do to utilise the spaces in clever ways

@@urbanarkoverland haha! Life has got in the way, are you going to be in Brum for the Camping and Motorhome show? If not looking like around 21-22 of this month!

[@Digitalassetsinnovation]

It’s a great build, but i’m not sure it surpasses the quality of some of the US outfitters such as Outside Van, Limitless Van, Overland Van Project. Just to name a few. Great build tho, to each their own.

[@kaito8919]

Nothing is beating the concrete oasis for me best design to a van build to date in any country.

[@spasmpeter]

hello mate, thats a nice van and nicely done. just an observation as i see things others don't, that van would look really cool with some decent mud flaps with Ape printed on them. mud flaps look great and that adventure look, done my discovery D4 and it looked epic after, i'm gonna do my black sprinter too mate

[@urbanarkoverland]

Hi mate. Previous ape builds have the mondo kit from terrewagen. But that’s when increasing tyre sizes. Sometimes customers pot in and out of different things. 👍🏻

[@kenjhickey]

Hi Aiden welcome back van looks awesome great video as always

[@samhartfieldlewis5247]

Really excellent finished, give him a hi five from me please. I prefer no pop top style rack above and stuff, but it’s not my style and that’s the point. Bespoke too the customers nice going. Water tank set up is really cool system, Will go back and check out the name looks solid long lasting. Nice one thanks Sam

Wish people would stop banging on about black. It’s perfect. Looks classy and stylish. Makes the lighting look better. Nothing worse than going in a van/ motorhome/ caravan and seen it been full of neutral bland creams and white white that you nanna says make a the space look bigger. Its 2024 not 1984. Awesome van 👊🏼

[@mattpoole9498]

Its a nice Van but does not even come close to what their designing in the US right now, maybe they just have a bigger budget than us. loving that garage though. great vid by the way enjoyed the viewing.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Come on. To say doesn’t even come close is a little harsh. This is soo nice. Not much in the states is that much nicer.

[@StephPNE]

How much would that cost please

[@urbanarkoverland]

Have to enquire on the email.

[@aberdeendeltaforce]

Beautiful van, finish is amazing but if I had one fault and it’s a biggie for me is the blinds? Remis blinds are a game changer and the lack of them or something equivalent on this build is disappointing.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Remus blinds are jank. They rattle like mad No thanks

[@aberdeendeltaforce]

@@urbanarkoverland it’s the hassle free speedy application that sells it for me but they do rattle to be fair and the plastic they are made from is junk considering the eye watering price but if anyone can make integrated blinds that blackout a van as well as remis do then I’d be all over it…..maybe ape could refine a set to his very high standards? I’d love to see that. 👍❤️

[@urbanarkoverland]

@@aberdeendeltaforce only takes a second to put the magnet blinds up. And you don’t have to live with them in the way for the rest of the time. The rattle of the Remus blinds would seriously drive me crazy

[@aberdeendeltaforce]

@@urbanarkoverland yep they do drive me crazy sometimes but nothing a small strip of duct tape can’t eliminate, do you have a link to these magnetic blinds and are they exclusive to APE AV. having never used them I cannot comment on how good they are but am very interested to see them in action as a comparison. 👍

[@darrenmeaden312]

Lush build. Would love to see what Ape could design on a longer chassis to include a shower/toilet.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Not sure you ever will. The forbidden fruit ha

Great vans but not a fan of the double back doors, I would rather have just one lift up.

@@Markos5511 ha ha. You sausage. Ya know what. I was about to start to break it down. Base van 75k etc. but it’s not worth it. I can tell you only see your own opinion.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Yep

[@chrislodge003run]

Don’t get me wrong it’s super nice… but I’ve personally seen 40k builds that are much much nicer.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Ha ha. The base van is more than that ya sausage.

[@chrislodge003run]

@@urbanarkoverland yes I know around 80k nowadays (silly money) just saying the interior is very basic compared to other builders that would charge half the price. It’s very nice just priced in a different realm..

[@urbanarkoverland]

@@chrislodge003run less is more my friend. It takes real hard work to have a smooth subtle finish. But depends if you are after that cbe everywhere you can look. Please send a link to a nicer 40k build. Genuinely be interested in buying it.

[@chrislodge003run]

It’s more of the layout vs the build. It’s obviously a top tier finish! Not seeing a built in shower and toilet in an adventure van is odd to me.. it’s a stunning build just very basic in my opinion compared to other builders.

[@urbanarkoverland]

@@chrislodge003run so no shower. No shower in an adventure van is weird. Chad from living the van life?? Can you get any more adventure van??? Please send me any example of a van of 40k. Cannot buy a base van for 40k. Cannot pay to convert a large van for 40k. I just went to a vw show where ut seemed the going rate for a transporter build is 26k. And that’s a cad designed mass produced deal. And before you think I’m taking offence. I’m genuinely not. I’m just giving your comment a truthful answer. You were being specific so I thought I would.
