Consort Oslo

We have now gone up to a 50a B to B and 20a mains charger. We made a template and cut a carpet for it out of an off cut we had. We took it locally to get it bound and they have done a good job of it for £35. On Weds I was under the van all day in the drive fitting some air bags on the rear suspension. I think I am getting too old for all this nonsense but we have just about got it how we wanted it now. This van is so much warmer than the old one.
 
Over the last few weeks we have been having trouble with the solar controller not always coming out of night mode and starting to charge in the morning. We rang Consort up this morning and I took the van in at 1pm a new controller was fitted straight away FOC. No quibbling or ifs and buts all sorted and on our way in less than 1 hour. A great service from Consort. It's so refreshing after hearing all the struggles many have trying to get satisfaction and things sorted from other manufacturers and dealers.
 
Update with the van, pretty much everything has been great with the van the only niggle up to press has been the other week when the temperature got up into the 30s and the inside of the van was hot the 140l Indel B fridge struggled to keep the bottom of the fridge cool enough. The ice box was fine but the shelves in the door were about 8c. We may just need to tweak the settings a little. Fortunately not much of a problem in this country most of the time.
 
Today we sold our souls to the Devil and did a deal on a 2 year old Consort Oslo with less than 4000mls on it, It is from Consort as they had an open day with factory tours and I liked the way and how they build them. The bonus is they are less than 10 miles from home. It includes Awning, 2x160w solar panels 230a lithium, flyscreen sliding door, leather trimmed upholstery, tracker They are also putting a door to access the boot from inside the van and to enable me to carry long lengths of timber and pipe when needed. This is a real step up from the Swift Mondial RL that has served us for over 10 years and over 60,000mls


Ten miles from home is a big bonus
