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 VW camper van was the delightful result, hailed by many as the VW motorhome that others are judged by. We were particularly pleased when this VW camper van model won the much-coveted 2005 Motorhome Monthly Magazine – Best Elevating Roof Motorhome of the year. More recently the Celex LWB has won The Which Motorhome 'Best Campervan 2012' and The Which Motorhome 'Campervan of the year 2013'.

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

Designed to supply the 2 burner hob and grill / warming oven, the Celex gas locker will carry two Camping Gaz 907 cylinders, one Calor Propane 3.9kg cylinder or one Calor Butane 4.5 kg cylinder, all at 30Mbar. Gas cylinders are stored in an air tight steel lined storage compartment, which is vented through the floor of the vehicle. There is easy access to the gas locker on the Celex from the tailgate located at the rear of the vehicle.

Water

The Celex is fitted with a 36 litre onboard fresh water tank and 35 litre waste tank, with an easily accessible drainage tap.

Electrics

All Bilbo VW conversions are fitted with a 12V system and 240V hook-up. The 12V system uses power from a 120amp/hr leisure battery (additional battery to the vehicle battery) and controls all 12V conversion equipment. This system runs the compressor fridge, lighting and water system and is charged when driving or when hooked up to mains.

A Power Management System is fitted with a digital display showing; battery voltage levels, water levels, internal and external temperature, appliance current consumption and alarm clock.

The Celex conversion is fitted with a 240v socket, 12v socket and twin USB socket as standard.
