VAN TOUR. Amazing SPRINTER build, sleeps 4, off grid pro self build AWESOME

My first van tour!!!!! This was a fun first VAN TOUR. That is what it is all about. Making sure the fun stays in this van life path we are going down. MOSSBERG is the third in what is hopefully, a long line of APE built vans. I am lucky enough to be friends with the creator of these lovely vans. So I was able to push him into featuring one of these amazing builds on my channel. Truly inspiring.

Hi pal, looking at power banks for my van build. What do you recommend? Have been looking at the Clayton 3000 but seen you using different ones. Thanks.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Hi mate. Email me. Email In most of my newer vids 👍🏻

Awesome build, simple reliable, practical spec with the best workmanship in the business. Keep the Apes coming bud.

Genuinely an awesome build 👍🏻👍🏻

Great review Aidan! Such a high quality campervan. Looking forward to your review of Kong 4x4!

[@urbanarkoverland]

This van is stunning. Kong is somehow in a different class again 👍🏻

[@christinamacintyre9972]

Great video and editing as always - love Ape vans.. well done Andy on your attention to detail there

[@urbanarkoverland]

Lovely aren’t they. 👍🏻

[@NK-dl2nc]

Nice build and not bogged down with tech that isn't needed. Simplicity equals reliability 👍

[@urbanarkoverland]

Yeah exactly. The efforts were put in the correct places here I feel 👍🏻

[@jackburt5008]

Insane, followed this guy for a while, nobody comes close for detail & finish

[@urbanarkoverland]

Out of this world mate 👍🏻

[@stevenFerbrache-j1k]

Amazing finish, where is the B pillar trim and bulkhead trim from. I have looked everywhere. Mercedes want a donner vehicle, i have searched all over. Any help would be much appreciated.

[@urbanarkoverland]

Ha ha. You Amy owe me a beer for this…… but what if you used the reg in the video 💡

[@stevenFerbrache-j1k]

@urbanarkoverland it has not got one? Does he buy them already prepared. The only ones I have seen again without reg is the new AWD ready for converting

Who makes the rear seat?

That’s a RIB bed. Plenty of orientations etc. 👍🏻

[@garrybeard7718]

Fantastic just fantastic love it.👍🇬🇧🤘🍺

[@urbanarkoverland]

Thanks buddy. My favourite video so far 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@nickthorley1]

Love the van and build etc but just wondered what you eat and if you can get by with just a hob and micro. Totally appreciate that not having gas is a massive help on terms of build and safety but I would think an oven is a very useful item?

[@urbanarkoverland]

Hi mate. I also do not have an oven. And I don’t miss it to be fair. So many one pot dishes available. Plus many microwaves have oven option. Although a little power hungry. There are also such things like an omnia. You can literally bake bread. And it’s used on a hob 👍🏻

[@jordanhamilton7739]

Should keep these van tour vids coming, great to see all different builds 😊👍🏻

I agree. Have a MAN 4x4 coming next 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You mention about it being FWD and the headspace in the cab is there some sort of link there or were you just meaning the fact he’s not opted for the storage above the cab?

[@urbanarkoverland]

No mate. The fwd has more headroom. The rwd and 4x4 lose about 80mm. For the drive shaft 👍🏻

[@jonnyatack6669]

@@urbanarkoverland interesting thanks! Are there any other pros cons other than what you can spec from new with the rwd vs fwd? If you were to be picking up a used van for instance would you have any preferences?
