    Explore 4 models from Bilbos

    Bilbos (est. 1977) is a campervan manufacturer, based in GB. RoamWorthy lists Bilbos campervans for sale from verified UK dealers.

    Bilbo’s Motorhomes is a specialist British manufacturer based in South Godstone, Surrey, dedicated to the design and conversion of premium campervans and motorhomes. Established in 1977, the company has focused its expertise primarily on the Volkswagen Transporter chassis, becoming one of the most recognised independent VW converters in the UK. Their range, which includes established models such as the Celex, Nexa, Kombi, and Space, is engineered for longevity and practical touring.

    Bilbo’s conversions are characterised by their side-lifting or rear-lifting elevating roofs and versatile interior layouts that cater to both daily commuting and extended holidays. As an ISO 9001 accredited manufacturer with Type Approval, they emphasise safety and build quality, ensuring every vehicle meets rigorous technical standards. Their vehicles are designed to maximise internal living space while maintaining the compact footprint necessary for navigating narrow British lanes and standard parking bays.

    Founded in 1977, Bilbo’s began its journey during the early growth of the British motorcaravan industry. From its inception in Surrey, the company focused on crafting functional, high-quality conversions that bridged the gap between a standard passenger vehicle and a full-sized motorhome. Over more than four decades, Bilbo's has transitioned through various generations of the Volkswagen Transporter, developing a deep technical understanding of the T2, T4, T5, and the current T6.1 platforms.

    A significant milestone in the company’s history was its commitment to safety and standardisation, becoming one of the first UK converters to achieve both ISO 9001 certification and European Whole Vehicle Type Approval. This dedication to engineering integrity helped the brand maintain a stable presence in the market while many other converters emerged and disappeared. Today, Bilbo’s remains a family-owned business operating from its purpose-built headquarters in South Godstone. The site houses both their production facility and a dedicated showroom, allowing them to manage the entire lifecycle of the vehicle from initial conversion to aftersales support. By maintaining a narrow focus on Volkswagen base vehicles, Bilbo’s has established itself as an authoritative specialist in the campervan sector, known for consistency and a conservative, quality-first approach to design.
