The QUQUQ KombiBox is a compact camping solution designed for high roof vans. It takes just a few minutes to place it in the trunk and secure it with straps. The box combines everything you need for spontaneous trips: a 2-burner stove with windshield, a 10 cm cold foam mattress (195 x 110 cm), two 10-litre water canisters and stainless steel bowls. The bed folds out and hooks onto the seatbelt anchors, while the kitchen is ready to use the moment you open the lid. What makes it really practical is that you can remove the box anytime without permanently modifying your car. It fits many different vehicle models and is a flexible alternative to full van conversions. In the picture below you can see the box installed in our Caddy with all the included accessories. The middle pull-out tray is not included by default and has to be ordered separately.
We mainly want to share our personal experience here, not list every feature in detail. For all the specs and technical information, check out the manufacturer's website:
Build quality and handling
What impressed us from the start is the build quality. The materials feel premium, nothing rattles, everything fits together tightly and feels solid. Two people can easily carry and lift the box into the trunk. Once inside, you secure it with ratchet straps – takes a bit of patience the first time, but becomes routine quickly.
The interior layout is well thought out and surprisingly spacious for its compact size. The drawers fit everything you need for cooking and eating. There is extra storage space under the stove for dishes, and we can highly recommend the optional middle pull-out tray – we used it for all sorts of food and kitchen supplies. The fold-down rear panel doubles as a worktop and shelf. It only holds about 15 kilos and you definitely should not sit on it, but for cooking and placing things it is perfect.
Cooking and storage
The included 2-burner stove is not a high-end piece of equipment – more in the 80-euro range – but it has enough power and worked reliably throughout our trips. You just have to know that the slim gas cartridges need to be replaced a bit more often. Standing outside in good weather, cooking a meal and then eating with a view of the landscape – that is simply an unbeatable feeling of freedom.
We did not store a cooler box in the back of the Ququq, by the way. The space on top is a bit too narrow for that, so we kept ours in the front footwell where it was easier to reach.
Sleeping
We had the version for the short Caddy. That means you have to push the rear seats forward and tilt them to sleep. This was sometimes a bit annoying, but in an everyday car like the Caddy there is really no other way. For the long Caddy there is a version where this is not necessary. The bed hooks onto the seatbelt anchors and is adjusted to the right height with ropes. Getting the rope length right takes some patience at first, and it can shift slightly over time – but overall it worked well. The mattress itself is surprisingly comfortable. Under the suspended bed we still had enough room for our clothes boxes, which we could pull out from either side.
On the road with the Ququq
The box accompanied us on some beautiful trips. One of them took us to Camp Spik in Slovenia – a gorgeous spot at the foot of the Julian Alps.
The absolute highlight was the Dune du Pyla campsite in France. We were parked on top of the dune, a good 100 metres above sea level, right at the edge with a full panoramic view of the ocean. We had our bikes and a roof box with us, and in the evenings we cooked dinner with a sea view. Sadly, this campsite no longer exists in this form – wildfires in 2022 destroyed the pine forests. The site has reopened, but without the beautiful trees it is just not the same.
In Croatia we spent a night on a small fruit orchard near the Plitvice Lakes. An older gentleman handed out homemade schnapps – a campsite of the charming kind.
Verdict
We are thoroughly happy with the Ququq KombiBox. It is compact, well designed and built to a high standard. For anyone who does not want to permanently convert their daily car but still wants to hit the road spontaneously and camp self-sufficiently, it is an excellent solution. We would buy it again in a heartbeat.
