Personally I think you are wasting your time with the whole patent idea. Just start building and focus on your business. You already stated you have limited funds to even apply for a patent and then if you get it so what if someone "violates" your patent? (You know it takes years to get a patent) People in this group consider stealing a compliment. Is it really that revolutionary where they will be flying off the car lot to the point that you need to hold on with a clenched fist? Say a home builder in this group builds one for their family, are you going to sue? Teardropping is a community and unless you are a big company that is worried about another big company stealing your idea and taking away your "market share" I think it is just time spinning wheels and taking away for your main goal. It's not the longer lasting lightbulb, it is a teardrop and honestly after all your effort.... the idea has probably already been thought of and probably on this forum too. Instead I would just share your idea here to get input and advice which is what the forum is intended to do. inclusion, not exclusion. I guarantee that no one here is going to see your idea and run out and open a business, or keep keep it to yourself and get to work on your business plan but this is probably not a great place to ask how to not share idea. Good luck on your venture... MY goal is to create a 10' camper that has a full bed and a full bath.
