WE ALL store our camping gear in boxes, but how’s this for a fully miniaturised modular system? The swissRoomBox quickly installs in the back of most cars and, as can be seen from the pictures here, the modules unfold into a kitchen, dining room, bed and shower room in less than five minutes... It is every camping gadget man’s dream and should prove ideal to use with tents like the Caranex.
Even better, its small packed volume means that you can use the rear passenger seats and it can be quickly removed if you want to use the boot or change it over to another car.
Besides using gas it also boasts an ‘intelligent’ system that controls the voltage demand on your vehicle. Yes, the swissRoomBox provides hot water for the basin and shower, plus electricity in 220V, 12V and 5V USB.
The Swiss made modules include a variety of top accessories like a Swiss Army Knife, coffee maker, storage bins and seats. And we understand that a toilet and coolbox are also available.
The swissRoomBox is due to go on sale and prices have yet to be confirmed. Full details, including video presentations, can be found on its website
