  • 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!

    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. Awesome van 👊🏼
