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!

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.

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.
