About the Bilbos Space
The Bilbos Space stands as a benchmark for compact campervan design, masterfully balancing daily drivability with holiday comfort. Built primarily on the Volkswagen Transporter short-wheelbase chassis, it is engineered for those who demand a vehicle capable of navigating narrow urban streets just as easily as remote coastal paths. Its defining characteristic is the clever use of internal volume, providing a functional living area that belies its modest external dimensions, making it a favorite for solo travelers and couples alike.
Inside, the Space model features Bilbos' renowned side-kitchen layout, incorporating high-quality cabinetry and essential amenities including a multi-burner hob, sink, and compressor fridge. The seating area is designed for relaxation, utilizing swivel cab seats to integrate the driving cabin into the main lounge. When night falls, the rear seats fold flat to form a comfortable double bed, while the signature pop-top roof offers additional headroom or an extra sleeping platform for guests.

The Bilbos Space is a highly regarded campervan, celebrated for its ingenious design that maximises living space within a compact footprint. Built on a reliable short-wheelbase chassis, most commonly a Volkswagen Transporter, it offers exceptional manoeuvrability, making it equally adept at navigating bustling city streets or winding country lanes. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a versatile vehicle that can serve as both a practical daily driver and a comfortable touring companion.
Its signature pop-top roof not only provides ample standing height when pitched but also often accommodates additional sleeping berths, making it suitable for couples or small families. Inside, you'll discover a thoughtfully arranged interior with quality finishes and clever storage solutions. Expect features like a well-appointed kitchenette with a hob, sink, and fridge, comfortable seating that converts into cosy beds, and swivel front seats to create a more spacious lounge area.
For buyers prioritising ease of driving, a quality build, and the flexibility to explore without the bulk of a larger motorhome, the Bilbos Space presents a compelling option. It’s perfect for weekend escapes, extended touring holidays across the UK and Europe, or even for those who appreciate the convenience of a campervan that fits into standard parking spaces. Consider its compact nature and potential for limited washroom facilities when making your decision.

While the Space is noted for its specific side-kitchen layout and under-floor water tanks, alternatives like the T6 Campervan or Leisuredrive offer similar berth counts and dimensions at varying price points from 20000 to 85000. The choice typically depends on the preference for Bilbos' specific conversion finishes versus factory-built or other independent conversion styles.

Ownership and maintenance tips
- Utilise the swivel driver and passenger captain seats to maximise the lounge area when parked.
- Regularly sanitise the under-floor water tanks to maintain fresh water quality.
- Ensure the pop-top roof is fully secured and latched before driving.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the 550kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
- • Attempting to move through the cabin while the rear rock and roll bed is in the sleeping position.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact height before entering multi-storey car parks, as modifications may affect the 2 metre standard.
