  I delayed this review as I wanted to do a few trips and put the Oslo through its paces first. I ordered the Oslo S2 at the Newbury Motorhome show. I'd done my research and knew what I wanted. After seeing it in the flesh and speaking to Scot and Jane, it was a done deal. On handover day, as soon as I stepped into the van I knew..... when you know, you know! It was even BETTER than my expectations, simply stunning. I'd only seen the demonstrator before and that was about 5/6 years old and on a Peugeot chassis, that lacked our chosen colours, new dash and extras that we added which really complimented the van. Attention to detail is incredible, my many 7m+ motorhoming friends have been very complimentary and have been amazed how well this van works. The U shaped lounge is very comfortable and is bigger then a king size bed when made up. I added extra solar and an inverter which makes going off grid a breeze. Dan was absolutely brilliant on the handover, I've texted him a couple of time with queries (not problems) and have had instant replies. I've got to say we love our van, we so made the right choice, the more we use it the more I appreciate how good it is and how well it functions with everyday tasks. These vans are quality through and through and so is the team that make them. Thankyou Scot, Jane, Dan and the team!

  We received our Reef S2 at the beginning of March and are absolutely delighted with it. We’ve hired motorhomes over many years and always planned to buy one someday but didn’t quite know what we wanted. On a hired motorhome trip to the Lake District last year a Consort van pitched next to us. We’d never heard of the brand before however, through the power of Google, we found ourselves immersed in what is a truly remarkable van conversion. We made the decision to go and see Scot and Jane at the Norfolk Motorhome show. After spending a considerable amount of time with Scot, who talked us through in detail what they do, without pressure and with real passion and patience, we were totally sold. We were determined though, to ensure everything he said to us rang true, so we visited all the other comparable brands at the show and were totally underwhelmed. So why do we think a Consort van is so much better than the rest. Firstly, the layout. Everything is just so well thought out. The van is packed with innovative and practical ideas that other conversions just don't have. Secondly, the build quality. The van is rock solid. Everything is top notch quality and every door, drawer and fitting has a very solid feel to it. Having been up to the factory, you can rest assured that everything you can’t see is just as good, from the level of insulation to the work that goes on under the van with water tanks, gas tanks etc. Everything is finished to a very high standard. Thirdly, the people and customer service. Everyone we've met shares a common passion for doing things right and they take massive pride in what they do. This comes through in the way you are made to feel so special as you go through the process, there is a massive recognition that you are investing a significant sum of money and they are responsible in ensuring you are happy with what you get for it. On collection day, we were greeted by Dan, a really nice guy who spends the day with every Consort customer to ensure that you understand exactly how every part of your van works, with many other useful tips along the way. He is patient and engaging, a credit to the Consort team. He even gives you his personal mobile phone number and tells you that whenever you have a problem, he is there to help. We couldn’t recommend Consort, Scot, Jane, Dan and the entire team more highly. If you are looking for a van conversion, that totally delights on every level, we don’t think there is another brand out there that compares. Thanks to everyone at Consort. Jim and Sam.

  We collected our new Oslo 3 weeks ago having owned Campervans/Motorhomes for over 30 years, this is the first one we have ever owned that you can tell is designed and assembled by people that have experience of spending time using them. Everything is designed with functionality in mind it all works perfectly, the build quality is the best we’ve ever seen, you can tell the whole Consort team have pride in the quality of work they produce. It was a pleasure to do business with Scot and Jane, from the outset at the Malvern show you could tell they had heaps of experience actually spending time in a motorhome, easy to talk to and not pushy at all. If your considering buying a PVC type conversion I’d advise you to take a good look at Consort Motorhomes before making any decisions. A massive thank you to Scot, Jane and the whole Consort Motorhome Team and a special mention to Dan for all the tips on handover day and offering to be on the end of the phone if we have any little issues.

  I've waited 10 months after picking up my Reef from Consort before writing this review. Firstly its easy to be happy in the excitement of collecting your new van and secondly I wanted get some use out of it and see if my views changed on whether I made the right choice in Consort. I'm a typical Yorkshireman, don't like parting wi mi brass and I always think I can find a cheaper, better way of spending it! That's how I first met Jane and Scott, I'd bought a 6yr old Citroen van and wanted some advice on converting it myself so I called them. Jane was lovely on the phone offering lots of useful and helpful tips. I could feel her passion for motorhomes and so ended the call with an appointment to call down to the factory to have a look at the vans they build at Consort. During the appointment the advice my wife and I got from nearly half a day talking to Scott and Jane was invaluable, my wife is not a frugal as I and wanted to order a van there and then but as it was our first motorhome we decided to have a look around before we committed. We went to several "competitors" but found not a single one could compete with the level of help and advice offered by Jane and Scott or the quality of build and layouts of the vans on offer at Consort. I did find cheaper vans, some much cheaper vans, but in terms of value, Consort were head and shoulders above the rest. So almost a year on, did we make the right choice? - Absolutely, the van is faultless, the layout is perfect and the specification we chose with Scott's expert assistance is spot on. I cannot recommend Consort highly enough, especially for first timers like us, it was a big financial commitment but I don't regret a single penny - best brass I ever spent ;-)

  We got our Reef in December 2022 and are delighted with it. Having done much research, we came across Consort where quality and customer service featured highly in the reviews. We met Scot and Jane at the Lincolnshire motorhome show who were extremely helpful and knowledgeable without being pushy. Having only ever hired motorhomes, we needed expert guidance on what to think about when choosing a model and avoid making an expensive mistake. They gave us great advice and invited us to see the Consort manufacturing operation in action at their factory. We saw a highly skilled workforce passionate about their product and producing great quality van conversions. We ordered a Reef having spent a whole day weighing up our options with Scot and Jane at hand to give advice as and when it was needed. Following our first trip into Devon we needed some support and so contacted Consort. The response was swift and professional and gave us great confidence that we would be well looked after in the years to come. It is clear that the customer commitment continues beyond the purchase of the van. The Reef has now been on a few UK trips. We are delighted with our purchase and would like to thank the entire team for what they have created for us. We would highly recommend Consort to anyone thinking of getting a motorhome.

  So glad we found Consort Motorhomes. From the first chat at Harrogate show, to the visit to the workshop, to the handover, the customer service has been outstanding. After lots of research and gaining experience from 3 camper vans, we knew what we wanted and we weren't disappointed. The quality of the build is outstanding, with great attention to detail. Everyone at Consort is committed to making sure every customer is able to live their dream. I would highly recommend this company.

  We are new to motorhomes and we found Scot and Jane, lovely people to do business with. Extremely knowledgeable, never pushy and gave help and great service all the way through the buying process. I also want to mention Dan who gave great help during the handover. I would 100% recommend this company.

  I spent the best part of a year looking for a new campervan when I came across Consort at the Harrogate CC show and I was so impressed. Booked a factory visit to check out all the models and options, absolutely no pressure and both Scot and Jane gave their time freely answering our many questions and letting us spend time in the various models. Such attention to detail they really know their product, we knew Consort was the campervan company for us. After a 9 month wait (due to Fiat supply problems) we collected our Reef model on 5th Jan 23 and boy are we happy, its everything we wanted. Dan did the handover making sure we knew how everything worked and that we we're happy before letting us drive away with confidence in the our perfect camper. The next day we drove to the Lake District for a wet and windy 3 days for the first of many adventures and we we're so chuffed with the campervan. Everything worked beautifully, we were warm and cosy, everything feels solid and made to last, its spacious and practical. I would recommend anyone looking for a campervan a cut above the rest to look at Consort you wont be disappointed.

  Took delivery of our Consort Oslo 2 in Dec 2022. We had spent a lot of time looking for our perfect van researching other manufacturers. Then, whilst at Harrogate Motorhome Show, we came across the Consort stand and spoke to the owners, Scot and Jane. After looking at their motorhomes and speaking to them both, we were instantly ‘bowled over’ by the quality and standard of build and the knowledge and advice given by Scot and Jane, who clearly know their product both inside and out. There was no hard sell, the van sold itself to us but we were given the advice to go away and think about it, book a factory tour and go and have a look at how the vans were built. We visited the Consort factory and met the whole team who made us feel really welcome. We were shown the assembly line where the vans are converted from start to finish and the attention to detail was impeccable. We decided then and there that we were going to purchase the Oslo 2, as this was exactly what we had been looking for. If you are looking to purchase this type of motorhome, have a look round at the quality of build and finish of other manufacturers and leave Consort till the last, as the quality of their vehicles, in our opinion, cannot be matched in design, materials and quality of finish. The detail is exceptional. Once you’ve chosen your Consort motorhome, we believe you are putting your hard earned money into the hands of people you can trust. Scot, Jane, Dan and the rest of the team will describe you as part of their family and now we’ve purchased our vehicle, this is exactly how we feel. On the day we collected our van from Consort, Dan was extremely helpful, explained every aspect in detail and was very patient with us, answering any questions or queries that we had. Cheers Dan for a brilliant handover 🤩 We have already taken our van out on it’s ‘maiden voyage’ during the Christmas holidays to one of our favourite destinations …. Cornwall and are now looking forward to many more adventures in the future. Thank you so much Scot, Jane, Dan and the rest of the Consort family for making our dream become a reality 😊 Dave & Jackie Dunn Lancashire
