Brad Ford has designed what may be the most sophisticated [teardrop trailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naledi) in the world. This [ultra-luxury trailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highland-60-offroad-camper-trailer) was commissioned by Moore and Giles Leather to show just how classy outdoor camping can be. The trailer is actually designed as a sort of mobile bar/lounge.

The interior of the trailer is covered in leather and wood and features everything needed to have a good guy's night out. The trailer features, among other things, leather camping chairs, cards, dice, a Blu-Ray player and of course, booze. The trailer is more or less a bar after all, and it doesn't disappoint. The trailer has a cocktail bar with space for an ice chest, 30 bottles and a keg of beer. The trailer was created specifically to show off on a cross-country tour of the U.S. After Brad Ford's design has toured the country it will be auctioned off with proceeds benefiting DIFFA ([Design Industries Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/columbus-tubi) Fighting Aids).
