Wiki book for noobs!

Apologies if this has been flagged before, but for any noobs wanting a fairly simple overview of the whole build from start to finish, they could do a lot worse than read this wiki book:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Category:How_To_Build_A_Teardrop_Trailer
I think a lot of the fine detail and plans submitted by members on this forum will then make even more sense! :D

Why don't we complete the wikibook for teardrop building?

Postby Esteban » Sat Oct 18, 2008 1:35 am

I saw the How To Build A Teardrop Trailer wikibook about a month ago. The original author(s) have not completed the book, nor worked on it recently. I scanned some of the discussion comments about the Teardrop wikibook and read that the author(s), or some others, considered deleting it. Several proposed sections of the book have only title pages but are otherwise incomplete. It's a very good start, that if finished, could be a real useful resource for teardrop trailer builders. Here and elsewhere. We have the most knowledgeable community of teardrop builders and users here at T&TTT. Why don't we, as a group project, complete the wikibook?
:thinking:

Yeah, easy for me to say, as a releative newbie. I'd happily contribute to the project. :)

I'm game. I guess I could chip in my 2 cents worth.

I'd love to see us fill in some of those gaps.:applause:

Since it is in wiki format, just sign up for an account and you can start editing/submitting.

Perhaps we can do some draft pieces here, then fine-tune them and have one of us upload it there.

(perhaps we could even 'steal' some of the content directly from here)

I like the idea of a simple step-by-step for 'intro to teardrops' purposes.
