The European Designed QuQuQ Conversion Kit Can Transform An Ordinary Van Into A Camper Van In A Moment...

QuQuQ. A damned funny name isn't it.
I don't even know how to say it.
Anyway, it's a basic box and a mattress and it fits into a range of van-type people movers and can convert it into a two person tiny house on wheels in a jiffy. Or a minute or two at least.
There's more about it here but for my money and much less of it, I'd sooner have the fun of making my own and giving it a name I can pronounce...

The Tiny Sleepbox Is A Big Deal For Travellers In Russia...

So you arrive in Moscow without a hotel booking or you've got some hours waiting around between travelling further by bus, train or plane.
You're on a budget and you're tired and you don't want to be parted from your luggage.
Originally designed in 2009 by the Arch Group, the first Sleepboxes opened at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport two years later.
Now the Sleepbox Hotel Tverskaya is open for the weary traveller who wants no more than a comfortable and safe place to stay and rest for anytime between half an hour and many hours.
The concept is based on backpacker prices with many hotel facilities.
Sorry there's no room service.
Each Sleepbox is 2m long x 1.4m wide and 2.3m high.
The bed is 2m long x 0.6m wide.
Each unit is equipped with a ventilation system, sound alerts, LCD, TV, WiFi and sockets for a laptop and phone charging.
Sound like fun doesn't it.
I can see you packing your bags already.
Before you hop on the plane,
there's more to know here...
