A foldable camping kitchen that packs it all into one compact unit: gas stove, sink with electric tap, and storage for pots and more. The perfect all-in-one solution for vanlife and camping – or just a fancy design extra for over-equipped off-road rigs? Read our our camping kitchen test to find out.

“Alu-Kraftkiste“ – which is German for Aluminium Powerbox – is the name Naturbummler chose for one of their roof tents. But honestly, it would suit the CompactCook+ just as well. This foldable camping kitchen is made from the same powder-coated aluminum as their hard-shell tent: solid, tough, and built to last.

With the CompactCook+, Naturbummler packed all the essentials of outdoor cooking into one sleek unit: gas stove, running water with a sink, and storage space. And here’s the best part: there’s nothing quite like it on the market. Other popular compact kitchens, like those from Campwerk, usually leave out either the integrated stove or the water connection.

Tipping the scales at 20 kilograms, it’s not exactly light, but you get a serious amount of function for the size. The price? €449. Sounds reasonable – but is it really worth the money? To find out, we took it with us and put it to the test during our roof tent group test.
