It is a practical solution for cleaning dishes hygienically and conveniently in the open air. In this article, you can find out more about how versatile camping sinks are and what you should look out for when buying one

BOXIO-WASH: The camping sink in Eurobox format

The BOXIO-WASH is a gift for all outdoor fans, as the camping sink doesn't need a power or water connection, so you can use it anywhere and take it with you .

This has the advantage that you never have to fiddle around with two washing-up bowls again , because everything is in one box - fresh water and waste water included.

How does the BOXIO-Wash camping sink work?

There are two canisters inside the Eurobox: one for fresh water and one for waste water as well as a hose system. With the help of a small hand pump, you build up overpressure and water runs as soon as you turn on the tap or stops running when you turn off the tap.
