The Celex is the Volkswagen conversion which others are judged by. The classic side kitchen is a tried and tested design, it's top of our leader board. Our attention to detail and design; crafting all you need (in the place you need it), makes this compact vehicle feel beautifully spacious. The Celex has similar qualities to the Komba but with a little extra storage and further facilities; gaining kitchen drawers, grill/warming oven and rear wardrobe. Choose the long wheel base and you'll find yourself trying to fill the space!

Roof options

Bilbo's low-lie elevating roof
(available on short and long wheel base models)

Bilbo's unique side elevating roof is standard across the range, maximising standing height along the length of the vehicle. The roof construction includes weather proofing and twin zipped mosquito screens front and rear, and large side windows with roll-up blinds.


Continental elevating roof
(available on short and long wheel base models)

This front lifting roof has the added advantage of accommodating a wide fitted roof bed, suitable for both children and adults. When not in use, the bed conveniently pushes up and out of the way.


Bilbo's high-top
(available on short and long wheel base models)

The Bilbo's High-Top roof offers substantial insulation, ensuring the vehicle is suitable for use in all seasons. Lockers, storage compartments and shelves are included with opening double glazed side windows.

Celex Top

Over years of touring, we’ve evolved our own style of doing things. Everyone does. But realising that some travellers may have different layout preferences, we invited our customers to tell us what they’d like to see in a Bilbo’s Motorhome. The wealth of feedback we received helped us to take a fresh look at our design approach. The Celex was the delightful result, hailed by many as the Volkswagen motorhome that others are judged by. We were particularly pleased when this model won the much-coveted 2005 Motorhome Monthly Magazine – Best Elevating Roof Motorhome of the year.

Benefiting from a double bed and endless storage options, this is a superior multi-purpose motorhome, that’s as comfortable at the golf club as it is on distant Mediterranean beaches.
