- This is GARRICK. It's real. I think it's real. I hope it's real.
The latest from All Purpose Equipped features a POPTOP, making it a comfortable 4 berth VAN CONVERSION.
Every inch of this build is meticulously hand crafted by one man.
A well spec'd factory van truly brought to life. A beautiful TINY HOME/VAN BUILD.
Is there anything close to this level out there right now?
UAO are PROUD to confirm that we are the official van tour partner.
WOW When I said 2024 was gonna be the year of the collaboration, I didn't expect this by January.

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!
Great comment. Thanks
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 CZcams. Welcome! Congrats on another awesome build. Beautiful craftsmanship!
Thank you sir
Well done Andy. Looks amazing. Very much looking forward to joining the ape owners club
Wait a minute. Hang on…..
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 😂
You are not wrong my friend. Total perfection.
@@urbanarkoverland been following you both for a while, even had my sticker delivered from APE. Keep entertaining, great work. I did email for a price, but no answer, do we know how much the Garrick is? I am defo looking for an upgrade from my t6.1
@@darrensalter1540 try him again again mate for sure. I have a merch shop too ha ha
@@urbanarkoverland cheers just followed up. Defo want one of your stickers too 😉
@@darrensalter1540 👍🏻😂
Well done guys, top partnership and ace video! Quality build as always and setting the standard. Aiden busting an eyeball vein for the viewers - love it.
Ha ha. Cheers mark.
Mercedes Crew 👍👍 We Just Keep Going & Going
👊🏻
These are the Storyteller vans of the UK!! Absolutely love the finish on these.
Lovely huh.
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 👊🏼
👍🏻
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 🙃🙃
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
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! 😊
Ha. We stand there thanking each other.
Thanks for filing it. No thanks for letting me ha ha
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 👊🏻🦍
Great van as always! And great video too, doing it all justice
Thank you sir.
Absolute quality! 😍😎👏🏼👏🏼
Truly exquisite 👌 attention to detail and workmanship really stands out. Top work 🙌
Thanks pal. 👍🏻
BOOM drooling…
Dream Team … Back on Attack !
Love Andy's deadpan humour …
especially when paired with thee UAO energy !!
So… when's the van plan podcast comin' bruv ? 😜
Ha ha. Nice one mate. Ye maybe.
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
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. 👍🏻
The perfect van , outstanding craftsmanship, well done Aiden for allowing us to see 👍
No probs. Thanks 👍🏻
Love it 😍 the only thing I would add is CCTV all round ✌️
Cool idea
STUNNING 🦍
👍🏻
Epic van, this rivals and aesthetically (to my eye at least) surpasses the best Sprinter based adventure vans coming out of America.
I concur.
You picking this table up any time soon brother ha ha
@@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!
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.
Nothing is beating the concrete oasis for me best design to a van build to date in any country.
Another great vid. Keep em going fella.
👍🏻
These vans are outrageous. 👌
Yep 👍🏻
Fantastic Build, Like the roof systems of previous vans, but this pop top has swayed me. Great walkaround as always!
Offers so much doesn’t it.
@@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
Hi Aiden welcome back van looks awesome great video as always
Cheers you
Stunning best van I have seen amazing I bet that's a arm and a leg
2 arms 😏
Nice one, vans awesome 👌
👍🏻
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
Thanks Sam 👍🏻👍🏻
Terrific 💚
👌🏻
Just seen your transporter flying up the M6. Have a good trip.
How do you know it was me 😂😂😂
@@urbanarkoverland your very unique 🤣
@@BeardedDwarf ha ha. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great van 😉🚍⚓️🇬🇧👍
Cheers you
liked without even watching!!! Best vans ever @ape
For sure. But do watch though ha
Prefer hard top with roof rack , love their vans and someday hope to own one !
I prefer that look. But can’t deny the added bed being useful
Love it. Family adventure van. Atek roof vs Rib bed debate going on here. Would love to know the weight
If the van or the roof??
van@@urbanarkoverland
I want one!
Me too
Real trick looking van but if I was going doon that road it would definitely need 4WD
Little buddy tells me it’s off to have a rear arb locker and lift kit.
Nice Victron setup 😂
No ha
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.
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.
Is that an SCA roof mate?
Ye. 👍🏻👍🏻
Lush build. Would love to see what Ape could design on a longer chassis to include a shower/toilet.
Not sure you ever will. The forbidden fruit ha
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.
Remus blinds are jank. They rattle like mad
No thanks
@@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. 👍❤️
@@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
@@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. 👍
How much would that cost please
Have to enquire on the email.
Fantastic review but why no price on the van?
Because it was sold. 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland it would be good to know a cost for people interested in a similar van
@@user-nx2tr8eu4k it is in the website. Which I do remind everyone to visit 👍🏻
@@urbanarkoverland your very positive awe inspiring review, should imo , give a detailed narrative costs for people watching your review, not to then visit another website
@@user-nx2tr8eu4k that’s your opinion user 457 no name. It’s my channel. I chose not to say the price. Done
Big van , no toilet. What’s the point? You may as well get a Transporter size vehicle and save the cash.
Off ya pop then
Great vans but not a fan of the double back doors, I would rather have just one lift up.
Ye. That doesn’t exist from factory.
@@urbanarkoverland I know but it can be done, RP do it on their van.
@@MrPressPhotographer4 yes. Thousands and thousands of r and d and fabrication
I hope you took your shoes off. That’s way too nice
I actually did. In the bloomin snow too.
Th Pop Top looks like an SCA 252...
Yep
Don’t get me wrong it’s super nice… but I’ve personally seen 40k builds that are much much nicer.
Ha ha. The base van is more than that ya sausage.
@@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..
@@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.
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.
@@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.
Awesome quality vans! I remember when Andy first started out, he's always had an eye for top quality accessories and builds. Regards
Sean from advantureuk 🤟🏻🚐
Thank you matey. 👍🏻
