Camping in the KIA PV5

Modular Freedom Meets the Vanlife of the Future

Imagine having a car that is your loyal companion during the week for work or grocery shopping, and by Friday evening, transforms into a fully functional camper in just 15 minutes. Sounds like a pipe dream? With the new KIA PV5 and our BOXIO system, this is now a reality. Today, we're taking a look at why this combination is the absolute "no-brainer" for anyone who doesn't want rigid, heavy installations.

1. The KIA PV5: Why this Electric Van is Revolutionizing the Vanlife World

The KIA PV5 is not just another electric van. It belongs to the so-called PBV series (Platform Beyond Vehicle). What makes it special: it is designed to be modular from the ground up. It comes as a standard variant, which offers the ideal balance of compact dimensions and space for most of us. But KIA thinks further: whether as a high-roof for those who like to stand up straight or as a chassis version for completely individual builds, the basis is always a flat, electric underbody.

What particularly pleases us as campers: the vehicle has power, and not just for propulsion. Thanks to the V2L function (Vehicle-to-Load), you can use the power directly from the drive battery. Imagine sitting by the lake with your fairy lights or induction hob simply running off the car's battery. This is pure luxury, without the need for an additional auxiliary battery installation.

2. The BOXIO Principle: Your Car, Your Build, Your Pace

At BOXIO, we love simplicity. Why spend thousands of euros on a fixed build-out when you want to retain the flexibility of your car? With its flat floor, the KIA PV5 offers the perfect dance floor for our boxes.

Whether you drive the standard variant or the high-roof: our system adapts. The goal is that everyone, truly everyone, can transform their everyday car into a camper. Without drilling, without sawing, without breaking a sweat. You take the modules you need and slide them in. Done.

BOXIO RACK BOX + BED BUNDLE M I Modular camping box

The BOXIO RACK Bundle is the ideal modular extension for your van or minivan - flexible, well thought-out and space-saving. You can fold the BOXIO BED onto the RACK BOX in no time at all to save space. There is space for up to three BOXIOs in the RACK BOX. When folded out, the flap serves as a practical work surface - perfect for your mobile outdoor kitchen.

3. The Heart: Sleeping and Organization with the BOXIO RACK

Let's get to the most important point: How does an empty cargo space become a bedroom? This is where the BOXIO RACK comes in. The RACK is our modular shelving system, specially designed to combine order and comfort in the smallest space.

In the KIA PV5, you use the RACK not only as storage for your clothes or equipment. In combination with several RACK modules and a suitable surface, you can quickly create a stable, flat bed. The ingenious thing about it: under your lying surface, you still have full access to your BOXIO Euroboxes. No more annoying rearrangement when you want to sleep at night. The RACK optimally utilizes the interior width of the PV5 and leaves you enough freedom to still sit comfortably.

4. Self-sufficiency in the Smallest Space: Cooking, Washing, and the "Little House" Solution

A good van needs more than just a bed. With the Kitchen Bundle, you always have your kitchen with you. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the bundle fits perfectly next to the RACK or can simply be taken outside when the weather is nice. Combined with the BOXIO WASH, our mobile sink, you have running water without having to install a fixed tank.

And since we're on the subject of comfort: Anyone who doesn't want to wander across the dark campsite at night will love our BOXIO TOILET. The composting toilet fits in every corner, is odor-free, and requires no chemicals. In the KIA PV5, it finds its permanent place under or next to the bed module – so you are truly self-sufficient, no matter where you are.

5. At Home Outdoors: The Perfect Camp Setup Around the KIA

Vanlife takes place half outdoors. When you set up your base camp, the small details make all the difference. Our BOXIO CHAIRS are not only comfortable but also stable enough to serve as a step or side table.

And this is where the circle closes with the KIA PV5: Use the car's V2L socket to plug in our BOXIO String Lights. This not only provides cozy light for the evening hours but also shows how harmoniously modern e-mobility and analogue camping vibes go together. With the Doorboard on the tailgate, you also have the most important utensils always at hand as soon as you open the door.

BOXIO DOORBOARD I Hanging shelf for van sliding door

The BOXIO DOORBOARD is a clever hanging shelf for the sliding door of your van - made from robust bamboo, ultra-flat, stable and multifunctional: it serves as a door shelf, hanging table and fits as a stylish table top on the BOXIO TABLE. A real all-rounder for your camping adventure.
