About this title

From the Publisher:

This book contains almost 200 pages of text with 150 informative illustrations, photographs, charts and graphs. If you're wondering how to build or where to buy, you can't afford to leave this book out of your library.

From the Author:

Information in these pages is normally only available to members of the tradepeople, companies actually already building trailers. So where does a layman or first time company turn for information to build a trailer? This book can help. Because there are so many different types of trailers and they are generally purpose-built, this book focuses on the generalities and parts common to all trailers rather than the specifics of any one type of trailer. There are a great number of similarities from one trailer to the next and this has been the main purpose of this book.
