Camping Trailer and Two-Seater Toboggan
Engineer Dr Shini Somara joins forces with a dream team of makers and gadgeteers, as they aim to modernise two vintage designs from Practical Mechanics magazine, once the bible of DIY enthusiasts.
In today's episode, Dr Shini and her team are tasked with reinventing a camping trailer from 1950 and a two-seater toboggan from 1960.
The team come up with a clever pop-up design for their camper; using a rope and pulley system to raise the roof, creating a spacious living area.
With so much woodwork needed for this project, the pressure is soon on for furniture maker Jacob and mechanics expert Ellis to complete the fixtures and fittings, while Youtube inventor Ruth concentrates on the metalwork base, making use of a reclaimed towable trailer.
Engineer Pete is keen to modernise the toboggan by adding foot brakes. He also adds some steering, using reclaimed bike handlebars. His partner for the small build, Jacob, turns to the ancient craft of steam bending to create the the wooden sleds. So how well will their hi-tech toboggan perform when it's taken for a test run on an indoor ski slope? And what will Shini's final verdict be on the reinvented camping trailer?
