APE Adventure Vans

APE Adventure Vans is a UK-based campervan conversion company operating out of Greater Manchester, known for its specialization in larger vans with an off-road aesthetic. The company focuses exclusively on converting the latest Mercedes-Benz medium wheel base chassis, which it describes as the "swiss army knife of adventure vans" due to its optimal balance of space and maneuverability. Each van is built from the ground up using premium components from market-leading global brands, ensuring a high-quality, durable, and unique vehicle for adventure enthusiasts. The company prides itself on delivering professionally built, well-equipped, one-off vehicles with a guarantee of quality and individuality.

The company's distinctive approach involves sourcing new, high-specification vans directly from Mercedes Commercial in the UK, which are then transformed into "All Purposed Equipped (APE) ADVENTURE VANS." APE Adventure Vans does not offer custom client builds, instead focusing on its signature adventure-style, off-grid conversions. The founder's extensive background in the aviation and rolling stock industries underpins a meticulous attention to detail, which is applied to every aspect of the build, from fit and finish to safety-critical systems. This commitment to precision and the use of high-end components are central to the reliability and longevity of their conversions.

Beyond full conversions, APE Adventure Vans has expanded its offerings through strategic partnerships, becoming a leading UK supplier for Vandermoon products and an official UK dealer/installer for Flarespace. They are also noted for equipping more Sprinters with the SCA 252 elevating roof than any other UK company. The company also offers a range of unique van build accessories through its parts store, catering to those looking to upgrade or customize their adventure vehicles. Notable builds include the "Garrick" and "Mjolnir" models, which are showcased on their website and through popular YouTube van tours.
