See how a campervan is built at leading two-berth specialist, Consort Motorhomes in Leeds

[@broadpete]

Scott and Jane used to own Vantage vans. My 13 year old vantage van has developed a slight drop on the ceiling. Chatting to Scott at a show, he offered to fix it for free.....on a 13 year old van built by a company they no longer own. Unbelievable customer service!

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

That's very impressive!

[@greenjacket66]

I think this is the best vlog you've ever done.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Thank you!

[@tylerstravels0610]

About time you visited Consort Peter, been telling you long enough 🙂 We have the Reef on a Peugeot, looking at the Reef on on the new FIAT in the silver with the new graphics, it is very tempting to change 🙂 Scot and Jane are brillian, as is all of their staff, a fantastic company. We have had a few problems, not anything to do with Consort, just the Thetford fridge and water pump, both were replaced with no problem whatsoever , customer service is just brilliant. We are going down to the open week at the end of October and will be very interested in the new fixed bed idea. Thank Peter, great video as ever and well done to finally getting a video on this amazing company, cheers and take care , Trev Debz and Tyler

Brilliant high quality video Peter. Thank you. They are an amazing van ! Would love to see a similar vlog on S&L

[@GeosterTrow]

This is exactly what we want! Yaaayyyy! What great design and quality! All the possibilities of off grid winter trips in our home nation of Scotland. Thank you Consort. I imagine we will be contacting you shortly! Brilliant presentation!

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Go and see the factory. I think you'll be impressed

[@dkb2go]

That was a really nice change of pace, Peter. Very informative without sounding or attempting to be a commercial.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

I don't do commercials! Glad you liked the video

[@nomadic_lotus_eaters]

Had our Reef for four years. Just come back from Shetland, Orkney, Scottish west coast and the Western Isles. Not only is the quality of the van second to none but the service and support from Scot, Jane and the team is outstanding.🚐

[@GeosterTrow]

So glad to read this. We live in Shetland and this looks like the answer to all our needs. Thanks.

[@colinnewmarch1106]

How opportune, we picked up our Pace model on 12th September, and we are just back from our inaugural trip. The build quality and attention to detail is top notch . A van built by campers for campers .

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Very true.

[@tonysutton6559]

A great insightinto how vans get put together. I want to stay at the campsite shown in the first drone clip with the mountain behind as the drone flies out to sea.

[@briankeniry219]

I've had an Oslo for coming up to 6 months and they are easy vans to live with. I'm pleased Peter picked up on the storage because the organisation of the storage is something that I noticed. Inside storage for inside stuff and the boot for the outside gear. Maybe this is one instance where Scot and Jane's own camping experience experience has helped.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

I agree - The fact that Scot and Jane really use their 'vans really shows in a lot of details

[@ruthkirby9277]

Blimey, didn’t expect to see this video pop up! We have a Reef currently but the fixed beds sounds interesting 🙂

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

I can't wait to see one! Especially as it'll have a proper one-piece mattress

[@ruthkirby9277]

@@MotorhomeCampervan that’s what appeals to me as it would be more comfortable than make up cushions🙂

Hey Ruth, you going to the open day week at the end of October ?? We are there Saturday 🙂 xx

@@tylerstravels0610 Hi Trev, might do you know, wouldn’t mind a chat with Scot about this new layout! Would be nice to meet you and Debs too, obviously 😂

Great vlog it would be great to see more like this . Great job

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We love our Nova 👍

[@Chris_Carini]

Excellent vlog. Great company.

[@y0rkiebar]

We've had a Reef since Jan 2024, fantastic build quality and the rear boot storage is very useful.

[@NigelL0304]

Had an Oslo for nearly two years now. After experiencing both Burstner and Auro-trail vans previously, Consort are in a different league in terms of build quality and customer service. Loved the video👍

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Glad you enjoyed it - and that you love your 'van

[@Mas-lx5nc]

Love this van, about as good as it gets in my opinion - one nice addition would be a hatch/door connecting the boot storage to the lounge area as this would enable the transporting of longer items occasionally if needed.

[@neilbland1701]

A fascinating insight Peter with how the conversion elements all fit together and if I may say, the end results looked impressive. I hope you do the same with other conversion companies, manufacturers etc. Thank you!!

[@bield7]

Great vid. Their van look great!!

[@TimmysFavs]

It's always great to see how the vans are converted & assembled. These Consort vans appear to be very well converted & constructed & I was impressed with the direct hotline for troubleshooting, reassurance goes along way to customer satisfaction as so often when there's an issue or a problem, ringing up the dealership only to be told we can get you in in three months just to have a look to find out whats wrong? Then the ordering of the parts as necessary & then another three month wait until the fault can be rectified all gets a bit tedious. The Oslo model shown at the end looked great but I think a brief look at all the aspects wouldve Been helpful ie kitchen, cab & washroom. Apologies for going on a bit.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

We hope to follow this video with one covering the range of 'vans in the future

[@williamchanning9055]

Excellent video Peter, I'll definitely be visiting the consort stand at the nec; my only niggles are the rear n/s window, this should be changed to avoid the door hitting if open and a shower curtain in the washroom.

[@stephenstrong8885]

Their web site says they are not at the NEC this month.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Consort won't be at the NEC but they have an Open Week at the factory in Leeds, 22-26 October

Really nice video. I just wish they did an Adria Twin clone.🤔

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

There are fixed bed models on the way very soon

[@chalkyc]

excellent looks a fabulous van, much more complicated than expected really see where the money goes!

[@gwl1945]

Those vans look incredible. I would have liked to see the bathroom though because I don't like shower curtains.

[@colinnewmarch1106]

The 6 metre vans have flip up sinks ,which gives more space. There is a shower curtain but only enough to cover the door area , as the rest of the cubicle is plastic or similar

[@muddymarvellous]

Lovely Video...Are consort at the NEC show Oct 2024?

[@philipellis7039]

I’ve no experience of Consort but they seem to have a good reputation. Shower curtain (based on other comments) is disappointing these days. I was going to make an exasperated noise about the U shaped lounge ( much nicer than just two benches but my wife wouldn’t consider the layout for a second) so be interesting to see a fixed bed option.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

The fixed bed model is coming, in all three lengths of Fiat

[@hamsterclamper]

Interesting video, but the quality was like watching an old VHS tape🤔

[@y0rkiebar]

Yes, the camera lens isn't great, blurring on the edges.

[@hamsterclamper]

@@y0rkiebarI believe it’s called chromatic aberration

[@teaforthree1]

Scott makes top quality vans, as with Vantage before, but that rear lounge layout is SO old hat. Fixed bed is the future. Carpeting too is old hat, check out the likes of Globecar with automotive plastic where he has carpet. Raised bed with real storage underneath. So pleased Scott sees the future, and he knows the Fiat p***s all over Peugeot.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Lots of buyers still love a rear lounge but Consort are now offering fixed beds, too. As for Fiat v Peugeot, they are exactly the same van in the latest 2025 version.

[@truth3358]

Peugeot boxer is is the cheapest around you pay for what you get when you buy a van there’s loads of Peugeots are they for sale with low mileage 4 years old 12,000 14,000 only on the clock no one wants Peugeot boxer van is in a commercial way Spending 50,000 60,000 on a van conversion I wouldn’t use a Peugeot boxer van That’s why there’s loads of them for sale

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

There are loads of them for sale because, until recently, a lot of major converters built on Peugeot. Like the closely-related Fiat Ducato, they work well for motorhomes and especially campervans and Stellantis has worked with the motorhome industry. There are better vans but a Sprinter or Crafter costs a lot more.

[@owensnorma]

Are there any women working there at all? 🤔

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Scot's partner, Jane, is very actively involved. You'll see her at all the motorhome shows
