Published purpose

We have been approached by a customer to make a new type of Recreational Vehicle outer shell. We need to reduce the overall weight of the unit to make it towable by a medium sized vehicle, not a large pick-up truck. The objective is to get the overall weight from 600 lbs to under 350 lbs if possible. The New Hire (Engineer) will be tasked to work on project to help reduce the weight.
