Citroen Relay L3H2
THE VAN
This 2016 Citroën Relay 35 L3H2 Enterprise HDi 2.2 is the ultimate base for a camper conversion, sourced via our friends at NB Commercials in Bolton direct from the Ministry of Defence. Owned by the MOD from new, it’s the cleanest second-hand example you’ll find online with a full documented service history and a warranted 67K miles. The bodywork is in immaculate condition – dent-free, scratch-free, and rust-free, making it a rare find in the used van market.
Powered by the superior 2.2-litre HDi turbodiesel engine this van delivers reliable performance with around 32 MPG combined, making it efficient for long hauls while offering punchy torque for towing or loaded trips. It features a 6-speed manual gearbox for smooth shifting, and the engine is known for its bulletproof reliability – far superior to the 2.0-litre BlueHDi variants, which often suffer from turbo failures, EGR issues, and DPF clogs leading to expensive repairs. The 2.2 HDi, on the other hand, is a proven workhorse that can exceed 200,000 miles with proper care, with fewer emissions-related gremlins and extended service intervals of up to 30,000 miles.
EURO 6 compliant (upgraded during MOD demobbing), it incurs no charges in any Clean Air Zone (CAZ) or Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Vehicle history is spotless as an MOD-owned van from new, with just one MOT since leaving the MOD – passed with no advisories, confirming its exceptional condition.
THE CAMPER
This beautiful, professional conversion turns the Relay into a three-berth camper with three belted seats up front for safe travel. The fixed 4’6″ double bed provides a comfortable sleeping space, with a large under-bed garage accessible from double doors in the living area – perfect for storing gear. A second make-up bed forms between two side-facing seats, measuring 2′ wide and full 6′ length, ideal for a child or additional guest.The removable table pivots and rotates for flexible use in various seating positions and configurations, making mealtimes or games easy. Ample storage abounds: in the kitchenette, under-seat boxes, overhead lockers, and the large space under the bed for sports and camping equipment.
A 400×400 roof vent with integral fly screen and blackout blind ensures fresh air and privacy. Custom upholstery and curtain blinds add a cozy touch, with removable, blackout-lined blinds for versatility. Various options are available for silverscreens, both internal and external, for the vehicle cab area. The ceramic sink features a contemporary black tap and water pump, with 10L fresh and waste water tanks powered by a switchable Sureflow Trail King water pump.
THE ELECTRICS
The electrical system is designed for reliability and convenience, starting with a 100Ah lithium battery and isolator switch. Charging is handled by a Victron 30A DC-to-DC charger with Bluetooth monitoring via the “Victron Connect” app. A Frogstar 20A 240V lithium battery charger allows mains charging. A 12-way 12V fusebox with blown fuse LED indicators ensures safety, while the 240V RCD fuse box includes a double 240V outlet and twin USBs for on-the-go charging. The 50-litre CR50X 12V compressor fridge, with a 10L freezer compartment, has low power consumption of 1 amp per hour while cooling. CABLES AND GLAND BOX ALREADY IN PLACE FOR SOLAR PANELS. Three-zone LED lighting (front, rear, and under-cabinet) lets you set the mood for any occasion.
