# Classy Cocktail Campers Brad Ford Creates the Ultimate Mobile Lounge By Michael Hines | Published 2011-12-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brad-ford References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/affluent-amusement-portable-bar-is-mad-men-on-wheels/) & [mooreandgiles](http://www.mooreandgiles.com/) 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). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Camping:** There is a growing trend towards upscale camping experiences that offer luxurious amenities and comforts. - **Mobile Entertainment:** The emergence of mobile lounges and bars sparks a trend for on-the-go entertainment experiences. - **Cocktail Culture:** The popularity of craft cocktails fuels a trend for portable bars and dedicated cocktail spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Upscale camping experiences present an opportunity for hotels and resorts to expand their offerings and attract a new customer base. - **Event Planning:** Mobile entertainment solutions open up possibilities for event planners to create unique and immersive experiences that can be taken anywhere. - **Luxury Goods:** The demand for high-end portable bars and luxurious camping accessories creates a market for luxury goods manufacturers to cater to the affluent consumer segment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxuriously Appointed Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lume-caravan.md) - [Architectural Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyview-camper.md) - [High-End Glamping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coast-by-aero-build.md) - [Luxe Garage-Friendly Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-travel-trailer.md) - [Luxe Home-Like Travel Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-vehicle-hd24.md) - [Upgraded Appointments Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-camping-trailers.md) - [Fashion Lifestyle Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airstream-x-tommy-bahama-resort-edition-camper-van.md) - [Open-Concept Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brs-offroad-pursuit-carbon.md) - [Luxe Aluminum Travel Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowlus-heritage-edition.md)
