[/BNothing works better than being able to see at night no matter what you are doing. Being retired from a Water District I have had many years of experience working on water repairs at night. The cool part is I know what works and what won't. I bought a few of these fo our crew trucks for the guy's to try them out. They loved them! Now they don't have to hold a light to see in bins and all over the trucks. Just stick it to the side of a bin and it's pretty bright as well. So I knew if they would hold up to the abuse my crew gives them they should work well for camping. and they do just fine. for @ 15 bucks per light for me they are worth the money. They store in my front box of my Horizon Trailer and I never had them come off on the trails with all of the bouncing around. I use them for cooking at night and over my sink or where ever I need a quick lighting source.

Second, for me to camp and have a enjoyable time sleeping good or fairly well in a must. There is nothing more that makes me mad that sleeping on a incline or not fairly level. Well problem solved. My jeep has onboard air. My Chevy 4x4 does not damn it. I forgot about that. I was lucky to have my brother along to put air in my airbags on my trailer on out last camping trip and he has onboard air. So I had a brand new ARB compressor sitting on my work bench, Where to mount it so that it will be protected and out of site. On my trailer in the nose box. Just find a location out of the way and to where you can get to to other things. The upper right corner worked for me. Mark and drill your holes, paint the inside & outside of the holes so they won't rust. I used flat head SS screws with a Allen head and lock nuts, I coated the screws with silicone extra protection and pushed them into the holes. The compressor came with rubber grommits to help dampen the vibration and noise. I next mounted the switch and ran my wires all fused of course. Make sure you vaccuum up the metal cuttings after you drill. It works great for when I need air for little jobs like filling the air bags or tires. I really did not want to have a air storage tank as most of the time I have my jeep and converted my AC unit pumps plenty of air and there is a storage tank on the jeep. Pretty simple.

Now all I got to do is post the pictures having a problem damn it.

I think this is a pic of the lights you are talking about:

We picked up a box of them from Amazon after we talked to you at the Mountain Rondy about them. The magnets seem very strong, it puts out great light, and the rotating head is very convenient to get the light just where you want it. These are a great suggestion!

I almost always use the airbags in the Horizon to level the trailer. In our case I just use the Co2 tank located in the back of the truck, but an on-board compressor is a great idea as well.
