    'The Modern' Makes Its Debut!

    Last week the MDU team packed up and headed to Arapahoe County Fairgrounds to exhibit at Glamping Show Americas 2025, a leading trade event for the outdoor hospitality industry in North America.

    With the glamping industry quickly growing and evolving, and a flagship Unit ready to fill the gaps, this show was the perfect opportunity to debut MDU's Park Model: The Modern and connect with decision-makers across the industry.

    Interior + Smart Features

    • Floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile shower, stone countertops and backsplash, and full wood cabinetry
    • Stainless-steel Whirlpool appliances (refrigerator, oven, stovetop, microwave)
    • Smart home integration: Google Hub, smart plugs, smart lock, motorized blinds, Google doorbell
    • LED lighting, plank flooring, accent headboard with built-in nightstands

    The design and floor plan were intended to show that micro-living doesn't mean you or guests' space has to be compromised.

    The Show

    Glamping Show Americas exceeded expectations. We achieved multiple sales onsite, generated leads, and connected with realtors, suppliers, service providers, and media in the glamping industry.

    The tone was clear: there's a strong demand for unique, luxury-forward, minimalistic lodging in the glamping industry. The feedback reassured the team that we launched The Modern into the market at the right time!
