Space-Saving Tailgating Accessories

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Slide-Out Kitchen is Designed For Camping and Tailgating

— September 4, 2017 — Autos
German company VanEssa has taken it upon itself to make the age-old and hugely enjoyable tradition of tailgating at sporting events easier than ever with the introduction of a slide-out kitchen accessory that can easily be attached to the Volkswagen Amarok pick-up truck.

In addition to tailgating, this slide-out kitchen is a godsend for camping trips, because it gives you a countertop, sink, refrigerator and the option of a stove, all neatly hidden inside your vehicle when it's not being used.

Tailgating parties are all about timing, because you want to get your food and beverages ready early enough so that you have enough time to enjoy the game or event later on. VanEssa's slide-out kitchen helps in this regard because it's so utterly simple to deploy that it allows you to get your prep work started promptly, without taking the fun out of the process.
Trend Themes
1. Tailgating Kitchen Accessories - The rise in demand for innovative, space-saving tailgating kitchen accessories creates opportunities for companies to design and manufacture functional and efficient products for consumers to use when cooking and entertaining outdoors.

3. Multifunctional Camping Gear - The growing trend towards multifunctional camping gear such as the slide-out kitchen accessory designed by VanEssa presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create products that serve multiple purposes and provide a wider range of benefits to consumers.
Industry Implications

3. Home Appliance Industry - The trend towards portable and space-saving kitchen gear creates opportunities for companies in the home appliance industry to design and manufacture small and efficient appliances that can be used both indoors and outdoors, thus expanding their customer reach.
