About Us
Most German van products fall into one of two categories.
They're either cheap and poorly made, or they're eye-wateringly expensive because somebody has put the word "overland" in front of them.
We started ALTVAN because we felt there was a better way.
We're passionate about Mercedes Sprinters, Volkswagen Crafters and MAN TGEs, and we believe upgrades should be built for purpose, mechanically sympathetic to the vehicle and capable of standing up to real-world use. Not just looking good on Instagram.
Sam is a former Mercedes-Benz Master Technician with over 10 years of experience working on German vans. Having spent years diagnosing, repairing and maintaining Sprinters professionally, he knows these vehicles inside out. That experience shapes everything we sell and develop.
Vanya is a qualified Level 3 Technician with extensive parts knowledge and a keen eye for what works, what doesn't and whatgenuinely represents good value.
Every product we offer is chosen for a reason. We look for quality, durability and sensible engineering. If we wouldn't fit it to our own vehicles, we won't sell it.
As enthusiasts ourselves, we spend plenty of time exploring green lanes, campsites and remote places, so we understand the importance of having equipment you can genuinely rely on when you're hundreds of miles from home.
Our initial focus is on Mercedes Sprinter suspension and overland accessories because that's the platform we know best. As ALTVAN grows, we'll continue developing products that combine practical engineering, sensible pricing and real-world experience.
Because your van doesn't need the most expensive parts on the market.
It just needs the right ones.
