Vanlife without buying a motorhome: from 349 euros, a kitchen in your trunk
Original source: Autobahn

French company Woody's Camp offers the Camping Box Cuisine for 349 euros, turning a regular car's trunk into a pull-out outdoor kitchen. The box measures 63x50x27 cm folded, extends to 153 cm, and includes two full-extension drawer slides, a foldable sink, and a strap to secure it to the rear seat. A stove, water tank, and faucet are not included. Production takes about two weeks. More expensive options add beds and furniture, but for official motorhome registration, fixed installation of living modules is required.

Cleanup is underway, with reopening hoped for by Monday.
