Posted: June 25th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: RV Camping | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »




Created by: Anne Engler, Louis Kaptur, Andrew Mitchell, Raphael Kopala for the second year mechanical engineering design course MME2259 at The University of Western Ontario. The goal was to simply learn how work with and create production ready engineering drawings, specifically focusing on sheet metal and weldments. We focused on designing a multifunctional equipment/camping trailer that could provide the user with the opportunity to store a wide variety of camping gear and equipment. This was accomplished by a large spacious interior and a roof rack system that can be adjusted by the user to any position along the length of the trailer based on the users equipment requirements.
