A Swiss start-up builds the worlds smallest motorhome setup

16.10.2012

With the Roombox easyTech its possible to turn cars into a camping car in less than 5 minutes without tools or modification of the vehicle while keeping the concept of being able to cook, eat, shower and sleep « on board » during your journeys and on the way. The Roombox is a product of misC sport & loisir, a start-up from Collombey.

SwissRoomBox is the world’s first foldable camping-car equipment that can be installed in most cars and mini-vans. A first version was launched two years ago. Now misC sport & loisir launches a new product generation called RoomBox easyTech. The major innovation lies in its new integrated system of adjusting the height of the modules and adjusting the length of the bed, allowing it to fit as well in small cars as in cars from medium to large volume (station wagon, ludospace, monospace).

The challenge faced in this new product was to keep the technical innovations of the first model while making it simpler, lighter, smaller and even cheaper. This is so that families and young people can experience the joys of camping-car travel in their own car without having to spend tens of thousands of Euros. This new RoomBox easyTech is « à la carte » according to the user needs. The nature lovers who already own camping equipment such as stoves, pans, mattresses, sleeping bags, water tanks, etc… can be equipped with the basic camping-car modular system from €3’300.- (without taxes). As for those who want all the comforts of a true camping-car, they will choose the options that interest them such as the gas or alcohol stove, the shower with hot water (reservoirs of clean water 25lt and sewage 25lt), the 220 volt electrical system, the solar panel, the roof tent for 2 extra beds (4 sleeping in total), etc.

The new RoomBox easyTech is available via the online store www.swissroombox.com/shop. In addition, misc. sport & loisir is building up a European dealer network for this new opportunity.
