Re: LED Trailer Light Upgrade
LED lights will likely never burn out like a filament bulb will. You can jar them or immerse them into water without damage. Can't say the same about conventional bulbs. Conventional bulbs will shatter in cold water without the watertight capsules. LED lights draw a fraction of the current compared ...

Re: Banned!!!
Randy,
It seems to me that when these things fold up due to lack of air pressure, they become really unstable. When the tube folds, it suddenly changes the aerodynamics, causing loss of lift on one side. I suggest filling the tube to max pressure. It's probably the most stable that way.
