APE Adventure Vans

APE Adventure Vans operates as a UK-based campervan conversion company, with a particular focus on larger vans, specifically the Mercedes-Benz medium wheel base chassis. The company's approach involves sourcing new, high-specification vans directly from Mercedes Commercial in the UK, which are then meticulously converted into "All Purposed Equipped (APE) ADVENTURE VANS." This process emphasizes quality construction and the integration of high-end components from market-leading global brands, distinguishing their builds from budget conversions. The company does not offer custom client builds, instead focusing on its own professionally designed and equipped vehicles, which are sold as one-off creations.

The expertise of APE Adventure Vans is rooted in a career spanning the aviation and rolling stock industries, which instills a strong emphasis on attention to detail, high-quality fit and finish, and safety-critical systems. This rigorous mindset is directly applied to the build quality of their campervans, ensuring reliability and durability for adventurous use. The company is also an official UK dealer and installer for specialized products like Flarespace and the SCA 252 elevating roof for Sprinter vans, demonstrating a commitment to integrating premium, adventure-focused components. They also act as a leading UK supplier for Vandermoon products, further expanding their offering of outdoor adventure gear.

APE Adventure Vans showcases its completed vehicles, such as the "Garrick" and "Mjolnir" builds, through an online showroom and features them in collaborations with YouTube channels like UrbanArkOverland. Their conversions are designed to be modular and open-plan, maximizing space within the medium wheel base chassis, and they offer solutions like the "APE SLEEPS FOUR" system for additional sleeping positions. Beyond full conversions, the company provides various upgrades and installations, including Victron DC systems, Nomadic Ark fans, Flarespace Nvader rear carriers, ARB base racks, and Bravo snorkels, catering to the off-grid and rugged adventure market.
