Thank you Consort. This act of random kindness says a lot about you as a company.❤️
It certainly does. Thank you 🙂
Too right it does fab thing to do top blokes they are... 🙄✔️🇬🇧
That is one of the best acts of kindness I've seen . I know Scott from Consort didn't want publicity from this fantastic and costly gesture , I was filling up and its not even my van . You see so much doom and gloom stuff on CZcams, this put a real smile on my face . Hope you bought him a nice bottle or two .
There are still lovely kind people around. We just don’t see their actions, as a lot of folk just live this way, and think it’s normal to be loving and kind. I am so made up for you, and I know you will pay it forward. Honestly, the look on the faces of people when I tell them that they look nice, thank them for their time, or tell them that they are doing a great job. It doesn’t cost much to be nice to folk. I hope everyone has a good day. Peace!
Well done Consort Motorhomes for looking after our man! Lovely thing to do! ❤
Thank you 🙂
Good things happen to nice people. Well done to Scott, Dan and the lads at Consort Motorhomes. ❤
They're stars 😊
I was choked up myself for you James and brought tears to my eyes. Wow ! Just incredible. I’m so happy for you and those guys are just beautiful souls ❤
Thank you, I'm still buzzing from it. When I'm out and about I'm so excited to get back to the van 😂
It shows that in this world still there are good people. I am so pleased for you my friend that you will have such a beautifully built van. Good luck to you and all the best.😊
They've not 'felt sorry for you' fella
There are decent folk about who still do nice things for others.
It's a great channel you've got, really positive, always interesting, always fun to watch, thought provoking too.
Hope it gathers momentum and life just becomes increasingly more fun for you, without stress.
Brilliant stuff. Stay happy 👍
Thank you mate, that's a lovely thing to say 😊
Life can be furiously tough. You've found a way of making it lovely. Trample on every obstacle and I hope the wind is at your back. If, for a moment, it isn't. Stride on. Keep on. Just have all the fun, that's surely the point.
What a marvellous conversion James, proves there are still generous and decent people about, and well deserved to.
Thank you, I am so lucky. They are wonderful people
Wow….. absolutely chuffed for you and the Mrs and your daughter.
This just restores one’s faith in mankind when a random company contacts you and transforms your little van into what we see here, well done and fair play to Consort 🤘🏻👌🏻
Thank you, they have done me proud 🙂
What a superb gesture from Scott and Consort Motorhomes. So wonderful to hear of such unmitigated kindness in this world of hate, strife & turmoil. It blows MY mind so God knows how you are feeling. ENJOY...
Thank you, I feel amazing!! 🙂😃
I'm tearful for you. The guys who did this for you are wonderful human beings and you deserve this too. All the best to you and Helen xx
Thank you 😊❤️
Aren't they an amazing bunch of people,to do this for you James.Helen will no doubt be amazed when she sees it!There are good people in this world.Looking forward to your new adventures.👍
They are brilliant. Just taken Helen away to the Peak District for a couple of days. She loves it, it feels like a much bigger van now
Three things...number one, that has to be one of, if not the best make overs in a van I have ever seen. What a really kind thing those guys have done for you (and Helen and your daughter). Make the most of it James and get off on some exciting travels. Number two, what a shame that your mum and dad are leaving their lovely garden!! I do hope that wherever they are moving to they are able to do a bit of gardening again. Third, I am glad that you have got the idea to pass on the kindness in some way...lets hope that continues down the line...
Thank you, I'm looking forward to making many more vanlife videos 😊
You're living the dream pal 👍🏼 what a transformation they've done a fantastic job 👍🏼
Thank you, I really am
Just goes too show there are still nice people and honest companys out there well done 😊
I'm speechless. That is one stunning transformation.😮
Lovely conversion that Consort have done there, well done to them for their generosity. It will definitely make a big difference to you all.
Wow James what a absolutely fabulous job Consort Motorhomes have done !! You must be over the moon. Just goes to show there's still plenty of kind people in this world. Credit to them ❤
Im chuffed to bits with it 🙂
I’m flabbergasted by what they’ve done …..just pure quality n british made too wow
I'm still in shock to be honest
Absolutely great James,it’s beautiful,and thanks to Scott,and his company for their kindness.Even the outside of your van looked brand new,hope you,and Helen enjoy it in the years to come.
Thanks. I couldn't believe how clean it had come up. I thought they'd resprayed it :-)
AMAZING thing for Scott to do for someone, you must feel like it’s just a dream and you’ll wake up in a minute! And not even on the proviso you advertise them on your channel, just a nice bloke doing something absolutely amazing for you James. Restores my faith in human nature knowing there are in fact good people everywhere 💕
Absolutely, I was quite shocked by it because it is always easy to be cynical. Top bloke
James So pleased for you as you clearly are very stoic about your challenging living conditions. You deserve it and Consort Motorhomes will benefit from their generous gift to you
Thank you, I hope they get some benefit from it.
Hi James....I can't do subway anymore ...just feel ripped off....although I have had some decent foot longs 😊
Great conversion and you're a lucky man and how generous of him. It's so much easier with patterns to cut out and experience in fitting storage systems that work ,sound proof and insulate and help make van life easier and comfier 🙏🙏
What a transformation James !!! Actually life changing actions from Scott...
Nice to see people can still act as humans .....even with this crazy non sensible country we live in 🎉🎉
Be comfortable, be happy and for once can you rate Scott and his team with a 10 out of 10 please. 😉😉😉.
G 👌👌👌👌
I can't stand the smell of Subway, that Italian sauce you can always smell makes me retch - I've had one years ago and never been back.
WOW WOW WOW James what an awesome conversion on your home. What an amazing gesture from what can only be described as a first class company. CONSORT MOTORHOMES you are a company in a million. You have restored my faith in the human race. Didn’t think companies like these existed. Looking forward to your future travels. All the very best James and Helen you deserve it ❤
Thank you, we are very lucky 😊
What an amazing man Dan / Scott and Consort Motorhomes are. Fully deserved though as this is a fantastic channel.
A fantastic gesture for a down to earth, unassuming person / couple. Enjoy it. Well done to Consort Motorhomes and the team that achieved the end finish.
Really pleased for you mate. What a crackin job they've done, good lads!
So pleased for you James. I don't know you personally, but you come across as a nice human being. The van looks great. 😄😄
Thank you :-)
You totally deserve it mate you’re such a nice guy. I wish you all the best in the world and I hope that I meet you one day. There’s not many people like you. Take care and enjoy yourself with your family in your new van. What a fantastic job they have done.
you should have called this video "I've got a feeling we aren't in Benidorm any more" James lol. Good man Scot on helping you out and what an absolutely fabulous conversion. You so deserve it. I cant wait to see yours and Helen's new adventures in the van. I'm sure Helen will be gobsmacked. For sure, I'd love Scot and his lads to convert a van for me if ever I got rid of Viv..... or come to think of it, I'd love to see what they could do with her. Much respect- Kenny
That brought a tear to my eye the kindness of this company will make huge difference to your channel and travels.
What a wonderful blessing
Happy travels 👍
I can’t believe how kind Consort have been. You deserve it James. You and Helen will have so much fun. Also your daughter will love it.
Yes, it's all so exciting 😊
Cracking job, and this is a much better advert for the company than just putting a message on a screen
Well happy for you mate
What an incredible conversion James I love it! Everything looks mint, I’m jealous.
Nothing like a good bit of northern kindness👍
Absolutely amazing James, now time to enjoy it and make some memories, what a gesture from a great company.
I’ve watched this a few times and feel so happy for you and blown away myself at what Scott and the lads at consort have done. Superb fellas 👌👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Consort Motorhomes really know their stuff, I'm blown away by how much they got in that van.
I used to build these vans, the amount of work below the surface is massive and hugely costly. Give a superb big shout to the guys looking after you.
This is wonderful to see. Congratulations, James. You really do deserve this. Here's to many happy miles in your wonderful van!
Thank you, I'm so excited about all the trips I'm going to have 😊
Wow! What an awesome job they did on your van. This reminds me of how awesome the Brits can be. With everything that is going on in the world today, this is a wonderful story. Congratulations James 😊
What a superb gesture from consort motorhomes. In this day and age to see a big company do this is totally heart warming. To see that your first response is to do something for charity says a lot about you. Well done to Consort and to you, enjoy your van.
So pleased for you James. They couldn’t have done it for a nicer fella 👍
Thanks mate
Not all heroes wear capes, what a gift ,we're all feeling the good of this gift from that crew ,looking forward to future travels. Long may your road run.
James i am over the moon for you mate , the work that is gone into that and the time too do that , it looks out of this world , James you are one of the good guys in life and backed by a great lady , i really could not be happier for you both , be good you deserved this best wishes James
These lads in CONSORT know what they are doing, what a cracking transformation James, it was always clear she was always going to be in great hands but with a little bit of mystery.
Enjoy the new ventures in style & comfort.
Thank you :-)
Wow! What an amazing act of kindness and an expensive gift from Consort. I assume they will expect some advertising as a thank you from you but what a small price to pay. So excited myself to see how you and Helen will utilise it during the coming months.
They said that they don't want any advertising but their kindness is certainly some good publicity
What a job you and Helen go and have some great adventures you deserve it both of you 😊 👏
I am so happy for you James & Helen - what a beautiful, thoughtful and professional job Consort have done for you. They
are outstanding. There are good people out there and it’s heartening to get some good news on my iPad for a change. It’s like
your Birthday & Christmas together. Enjoy your new Motorhome, you deserve it. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
what a fantastic conversion and a fantastic gesture! i really like what they have done with such a small space, very very clever
What a breath of fresh air the guys at Consort are. I feel for your situation. So many being priced out of rental by greedy landlords profiteering on peoples desperation. Keep positive.
Big shout out to this firm for doing this amazing gift what a fantastic job looking forward to more vlogs
Great transformation. The company that did the job deserves all the publicity that you can give them. I love watching your videos it's nice to see how your van life journey is going. All the best. You deserve the transformation 👏 for the joy you bring to us with your vlogs.
You lucky man , and well done to Consort Motorhomes
88 + thousand people have watched this amazing documentary. Everyone, James’s ,Scott & All at Consort you have ALL brightened up my day 🌴
Whatever you do with a good heart you will get back 10 fold. Consort motorhomes will get rewarded for their kindness. What a fantastic company.❤😊💯💪
Really pleased to see your van looking amazing James. Hats off to a fantastic company (Consort).....They've gone above and beyond to make your van extra special for your needs. You totally deserve it James.
In the time it took to watch this video the views went up by over 5000! Love your videos, beats the crap we get on TV, hope the channel gets bigger and bigger and makes you a good living, nice to see someone down to earth and keeping it real, not exploiting every advertising opportunity to make a few quid.
Thank you :-)
I'm made up for you James. What a wonderful thing those fellas have done for you. Looking forward to seeing it used. Brilliant. 😊
Thank you Heather :-)
How awesome of Consort to do that for you James.They've done a marvellous job and ensured your future adventures will comfortable & safe. I's great when good things happen to good people, with all that's going on in the world it's nice to see something so positive. You'll have to rename Dorothy as 'The Tardis', you've got so much space now 🙂😉
Haha I don't think my daughter will let me rename her. She's the boss! 😂
Wow wow and WOW!! Flipping heck I'm blown away with your van James,absolutely incredible how much thought and work has gone into the design and work they have all done to completely re model your van,I bet Helen is over the moon that she has a loo now 😂..I wouldn't want to cook in the van lol, it's just amazing!
Those chaps at consort are gems and so kind 🙏.
Just a thought on your wanting to pat the kindness forward, what about doing a climb with Helen and us lot and anyone else will sponsor you and then donate the funds to your chosen charity or two charities, one that consort may donate to etc and the same for you.
Just a thought for you.
I'm so made up for you and consorts kind jesture couldn't have landed on a better person's doorstep.
Great vlog as normal, hope you feel better soon, I've had the shitty cough aswell, turned into bacterial bronchitis!
Take care and keeping everything crossed for your mum & dad's house move.
Thanks Jane, I've got a few ideas for paying it forward. I've spoken to a local charity and Im just waiting for them to get back to me.
I wish the best of success to consort, lads there have done a cracking job. Kudos
So made up for you James. What a lovely act of kindness. You can really now live in your van, not just survive.
What an amazingly generous thing to do by Scott and Consort.
It really restores your faith in humanity.
It looks fantastic,and just in time for winter.
Brilliant.
Yep, it's so much warmer too now it's been properly insulated 😊
Awe James im so happy for you, the sun always shines on those who deserve good things and that's definitely you 😊 thank you Scot and team for all the hard work you put in to give James a better quality of life ❤
scot and his team are amazing,they have done a lovely job,and are so kind,now you can travel in style and sleep comfortably,im sure helen and your daughter are going to love it too,
Brilliant turn around. Scott at Consort (and staff). Take a bow lads. Looking forward to your first trip James.
That’s amazing. Choked me up. To be fair, couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple. Look forward to seeing Helen’s reaction to it
Brilliant job Consort have done on your van.
Unbelievable James, so pleased for you. What a conversion. Proof if it were ever needed that there are still some truly wonderful people in this world. I hope Consort Motorhomes' business increases on the strength of this vlog. Here's to many new adventures for you all, stay safe.
Thank you
James and Helen, what a change in your van , you see there is some good people around cheers John
Wow 😍 what generous people, not just a makeover but all the accessories as well, they’ve done an amazing job, the van looks fantastic!
Wow, James, Helen et al, as everyone else has already said, it's a great conversion for you and I'm so pleased. These guys are now top of my list when I move from caravan to van build in the near future. Well done all and hoping you get much enjoyment from it. We only have one life so lets enjoy it.
Absolutely :-)
Amazing absolutely amazing. Well deserved James and Helen. I love it when good things happen to good people. What a fantastic bunch of people. Happy travels.😁👍💕💕💕💕

What a fabulous conversion by Scott and the team at Consort , the van is beautiful inside and out 👏👏👏 and so lovely to include all the extras as well. I know you seemed a bit sceptical to start with, but I'm sure you are so appreciative but just shocked. Just shows there are still some very kind and thoughtful people in the world, it's heart warming. Hope you and Helen enjoy it
Thank you, we love it :-)
Watching this with tears in my eyes, what a kind and amazing thing to have happen.Enjoy it you deserve this for the joy you and Helen bring to viewers of your channel

I’m just watching this again. Your emotions are palpable and it has genuinely brought a tear to my eye. There ARE some good and kind and genuine people in the world. Scott and the team at Consort are brilliant in doing this for not just you but for Helen and your daughter. The generosity of Yorkshire folk. It’s amazing ❤
Fantastic conversion from Scott & his fantastic team at Consort Motorhomes, Leeds, United Kingdom, for their innovative designs and workmanship truly “thinking out of the box”.
Hope James & Helen and family have many fun filled journeys together, spending cherished memories in new van layout.
Life’s for living.

I’ve been waiting patiently for this one. Absolutely fantastic job. And I can only echo what others are saying. I was fortunate enough to spend the day with Helen and james in Benidorm and I can honestly tell you they are the real deal. They are as genuine and as nice as they come across on their vids. This is definitely life changing for them. Well done to the boys that done this incredible conversion. Get this wee crakin van up tae Bonnie Scotland soon. All the best joe.
Thank you Joe, that's a lovely thing to say. Hope to see you again soon in Scotland 🙂
