QOOL Box in the van

The smart alternative to a compressor fridge for DIY campervan conversions

QOOL Box in a campervan conversion – simple, clean, self-sufficient.

No power. No problem.

Anyone who converts their own van knows the dilemma: keeping things cool without high power consumption is one of the biggest pain points in van life. Compressor refrigerators need a second battery, solar, charge controller – in short: a complete second onboard electrical system. The QOOL Box doesn't go this route. It needs no power. No compressor. No installation.

With the QOOL Box, food and drinks stay cold for up to 10 days – completely self-sufficient. Vacuum insulation and reusable Phase-Change-Elements (cooling or freezing elements) make this possible. Pre-cool once, load, drive off.

Perfect integration into any conversion

The QOOL Box is designed from the ground up to integrate seamlessly into self-build concepts. Whether as a pull-out drawer on a heavy-duty runner, permanently installed in a wooden module, or as a freestanding box under the sleeping area – the possibilities are as varied as the conversions themselves.

What makes the QOOL Box the perfect van companion

10 days of self-sufficiency – without a single kilowatt hour

The core of the QOOL Box is its vacuum insulation combined with phase change material. The result: cooling performance at refrigerator temperature for up to 10 days – without a battery, without solar, without a second onboard electrical system. Ideal for anyone who wants to minimize electrical effort in their van or who travels to pitches without a power connection.

Out of the van, into adventure

What always keeps a compressor refrigerator stuck in the vehicle is no issue with the QOOL Box: it can be removed and taken along in seconds – to the beach, to the meadow, for shopping. Robust carrying handles, compact size, low empty weight. The QOOL Box comes with you.

On a drawer slide under the sleeping area – can be removed and taken along at any time.

Opened in the evening: Chilled drinks – no power consumed, no noise in the van.

Quiet. Always.

No compressor. No moving parts. No humming. The QOOL Box operates completely silently – even when you're sleeping in the van in the middle of the night. This is a comfort gain you underestimate until you experience it.

Sturdy enough as a seat

The QOOL Box can support up to 150 kg – making it a full-fledged seat or storage surface in the conversion, even if people sit on it. The optional QOOL seat cushion cover turns it into a full-fledged piece of furniture in the vehicle.

Inside like a refrigerator – easy to clean

The interior of the QOOL Box can be completely wiped clean. No mold in corners, no hard-to-reach spots. Simply wipe with a damp cloth, done. As easy as a household refrigerator – just more robust.

No second electrical system. No compromises.

A complete solar setup – panels, charge controller, lithium battery, inverter – can quickly cost several thousand euros and take up valuable installation space. The QOOL Box completely replaces this effort when it comes to cooling. Simple, inexpensive, maintenance-free.

No investment in solar or a second battery needed
No cabling, no charge controller, no inverter
No moving parts → nothing can break
Made in Germany – sustainably and durably produced
Reusable cooling elements – no disposable ice needed

Also in SUV/Overland conversions: QOOL Box on a slide-out system – works in any vehicle format.

Conclusion: The refrigerator for DIY campervan conversions

The QOOL Box is not a compromise solution – it is a conscious decision for simplicity, reliability, and self-sufficiency. For those who want to forgo electrical overhead in their DIY conversion, who want to remain flexible and still keep things fresh, the QOOL Box is the ideal solution.

No noise. No power. No drama. Just cold.

How does the QOOL cool box work?

Our cooling technology cannot be compared to other cool boxes. If you combine the QOOL Box with the QOOL Temperature Elements, the temperature inside can be kept constant for many days - without a power supply, in any climate zone, all over the world.

Insulation, 10x stronger.

Vacuum insulation panels for outstanding thermal insulation performance in all walls, the lid, and the base. The QOOL Box thus insulates up to 10 times more effectively than conventional cool boxes.

Maintain constant temperature

The QOOL Temperature Elements contain so-called phase change material, which releases energy evenly. For constant temperatures. Without re-cooling.

Freshness for your adventure

In combination, the Box and Temperature Elements keep your food and drinks cold for up to 10 days. No matter where you are.

What Our Customers Say

Qool Box even makes the sun sweat

The Qool Box is truly fantastic and keeps drinks, food, and snacks cool for days without constantly being plugged in. Perfect for your entire vacation, camping, or relaxing in the garden. It's sturdy, easy to handle, and very reliable. A well-designed ice cube tray that prevents the cubes from rolling around and a pair of QOOL tongs, which are a real eye-catcher when serving, would be a great addition. I highly recommend it!

Works great in everyday life, even in extreme temperatures

Even though the box was originally purchased for longer outdoor retreats, it's still used time and again in everyday life and delights family and friends. Whether you need additional refrigerated storage space for a large family gathering or just need to quickly grab some ice cream or cake when the outside temperature is 36 degrees Celsius, the box is always there and brings a lot of joy!

Ideal refrigerator without electricity

It's worked perfectly; everything stayed at the desired temperature for over four days. Most importantly, it no longer puts a strain on the car battery. Once, after a long trip on a Baltic Sea ferry, our previous combustion engine car wouldn't start because of the compressor refrigerator, and we needed a jump start. The Qool is truly ideal for an electric car. I highly recommend purchasing the Ruuvi temperature gauge as well. A tremendous development both in terms of energy and ecology. Not cheap, but worth every cent.

Absolutely great product that meets all expectations.

Last week, at temperatures over 38 degrees Celsius, the box kept its contents cool for seven days. It's also worth mentioning that the box was in our motorhome, which, in the heat, had an internal temperature of over 42 degrees Celsius at times. Great product.

Perfect box for the hot temperatures

After desperately needing cool drinks and ice in a cooler that would last for hours and days during a cycling race during the hot summer days, the QOOL box with the red batteries was the perfect purchase! Fast processing and fast delivery! Simply great!
