# Man Caves on Wheels The 'Men-Only' RV has Playboys and Blow Up Dolls By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-09-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motor-home-rv References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/men-only-rv/12657/) Filled with everything a guy could want, the “Men-Only” RV is a [motor-home made for men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leisure-travel-vans-unity-tbx-series) by men. The RV was designed by four guys who won a competition created by the [motor-home and caravan company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elmore), [Sunlight GmBH](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunlight-vanlife-camper-van). The contest was an offshoot of a similar competition for women held three years ago in response to criticisms that the RV industry didn’t make enough women-friendly motor-homes. But whereas the females-only version probably contained such womanly items as issues of *Vogue*, a pilates station, and kitchen supplies galore, the transportable man cave includes only masculine things like liquor dispensers, copies of Playboy and Maxim, wall darts, plasma big screen TVs, a poker table, and even an outdoor theater. Interestingly enough, the RV also includes a sun deck for “bird-watching” and an inflatable, leopard-clad blow up doll - perhaps to act as a friendly ride-along companion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gender-specific Rvs:** Designing motor-homes specifically for men or women creates opportunities for targeted marketing and customization. - **Customizable Mobile Entertainment:** Creating mobile spaces with tailored entertainment options like liquor dispensers, big screen TVs, and outdoor theaters gives rise to personalized experiences on-the-go. - **Unconventional Recreational Vehicles:** Incorporating unique features such as sun decks for bird-watching and inflatable blow up dolls introduces novelty and unconventional experiences in the RV industry. ### Where This Applies - **Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can explore the potential of designing and producing gender-specific motor-homes to cater to diverse customer preferences. - **Entertainment and Media:** The entertainment industry can capitalize on the demand for customizable mobile entertainment by developing tailored content and experiences for on-the-go consumers. - **Novelty Products:** Creating and marketing unconventional recreational vehicles with unique features and accessories presents opportunities for the novelty product industry to attract adventurous and unique-seeking consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop-Up Camping Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogzilla4x4.md) - [Ruggedly Chic Luxury Motorhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chic-luxury-motorhome.md) - [Opulent Oversized Inaugural Motorhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-big-boy-1200.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Beach Camper Caravans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusail-caravan.md) - [Luxe Home-Like Travel Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-vehicle-hd24.md) - [Curvaceously Classy Campervans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-campervan.md) - [Glamping-Geared Campervan Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campervan-rental.md) - [Bubbly Camping Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbly-camping-trailers.md) - [Rotating Truck Campers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truck-campers.md)
