BeaverBox alternative: CampingBoxes from VANFITTERY

Comparison: VANFITTERY vs. BiberBox

The BiberBox is a clever „plug-in instead of screw“ system from Germany. It scores highly thanks to its ease of dismantling and attractive entry-level price. It is a solid choice for minimalists looking for a purely basic solution. However, those who travel more often will often notice the differences in the details.

The advantages of VANFITTERY over the BiberBox:
Instead of relying on a loose plug-in system, at VANFITTERY we supply fully assembled, highly stable modules. This not only saves you time during assembly, but also ensures a rattle-free ride and a significantly higher load capacity.

• Sleeping comfort: While users often report thin mattresses with plug-in boxes, we offer customised comfort sleeping systems that are still comfortable even after several nights.
• Integrated technology: Depending on the configuration, our modules offer you a fully-fledged kitchen solution and storage space with pull-outs instead of just an open compartment.
• Stability: Our boxes are designed to be self-supporting. So you don't have to rely on your vehicle seats being in a certain position to support the bed.

So if you're looking for a solution that feels like a real professional extension but retains the flexibility of a mobile module, VANFITTERY is the right choice.

What characterises BiberBox

BiberBox specialises in the development and manufacture of modular camping boxes in the form of a clever plug-in box. The focus is on a simple „plug-in instead of screw-in“ system that requires no small parts or tools for assembly and disassembly and is quickly ready for use. The company's core philosophy is based on sustainability, offering a durable product from the region that is manufactured in an environmentally friendly way. Attention is paid to the use of 18 mm thick, dimensionally stable multiplex wood panels and resilient fittings to ensure a long service life. The main offering is a standard camping box, which is designed as an everyday item and combines essential camper functions in one module. A particular advantage of the plug-in system is that the box can be dismantled to save space when not in use and then plugged together in two different ways. The 100% is manufactured in Germany by local carpenters and tailors.

The price level for BiberBox products can be categorised as mid-range. This categorisation is based on the clear focus on an excellent price-performance ratio. Although BiberBox relies on high-quality materials („Made in Germany“, precise workmanship) and functionality (5-minute assembly, plug-in system, space miracle), it is positioned below many customised or more complex premium suppliers in terms of price. The BiberBox therefore offers a robust, durable and well thought-out camping box solution that is very accessible for the quality and range of functions it offers.

Technical details on vehicle mounting

BiberBox offers flexible camping boxes that are tailored to a wide range of vehicle types. The focus is on universal solutions that include mini campers (high-roof vans such as VW Caddy, Renault Kangoo, Citroën Berlingo) as well as minibuses and vans (such as VW T5/T6, Ford Tourneo Custom and Mercedes Vito/Viano). The system is designed to be plugged into numerous popular models without tools, which ensures a high degree of flexibility and brand independence.

What customers say about BiberBox

Customers of the BiberBox particularly appreciate the low purchase price, which makes it financially easy to get started, as well as the compact size for storage. Another positive aspect is the tool-free assembly, which can be completed in just 5 minutes. The box is a standard product, which increases its resale value. The most frequent criticism from users is that the BiberBox offers the fewest features compared to more expensive alternatives, as the hob (cooker) often has to be purchased separately. It is also noted that the box requires additional support in the centre (from the seat or a self-assembly element) as, unlike some competitors, it is not only suspended at the front. In addition, the mattress is thinner than in some competitor products.

Buy a used BiberBox: Is the savings potential worth it?

Anyone looking for a used BiberBox usually appreciates the simple basic idea of the plug-in system and wants to keep the entry-level price down. However, as it is a purely wooden plug-in system, you should pay particular attention to the accuracy of fit of the connections and possible moisture damage in the multiplex when buying second-hand. Worn plug-in connections can impair stability and lead to rattling noises while riding.

The VANFITTERY decision: Before you invest in a second-hand plug-in system, which often requires mattresses and accessories to be purchased separately, take a look at our CampingBoxes or the Van bed system on. You receive a fully assembled, highly stable system with a full guarantee. In the overall calculation - including a high-quality comfort mattress and integrated functions - a new VANFITTERY module is often the more sustainable investment for your sleeping comfort and the longevity of your extension.
