So what's the verdict????  Keg cooler or Big screen TV????  I think I may need to put a bigger alternator in my bike now.....

If you get the Egyptian Package your going to need a 8 track player, I don't think that other stuff was invented yet.  ;D  Doc

Don,
   The lights that I have in the back are 1156 or 1157 bulbs.  I have to think that they'll be bright enough. Does anyone make a LED replacement for the old 1156/57 bulbs that will fit (sorry, I know it's the latest fad, but I haven't kept up with the LED stuff).

Matt, the switch to LEDs versus the stock filaments in the Bushtec aren't for the brightness of the bulbs (at least not primarily).  It's because they draw a lot less.  When we're adding electrical accessories and we can draw less and gain more light at the same time it's a win-win.  Your local auto parts store should fix you up for LED bulbs.  Real common item anymore.

Sorry, meant Doc's number for the Monroe air shocks that'll fit the trailer.

Looks like the Monroe MA 704  28-80403 will work. The only mods on my trailer were to cut a 1/2 inch off the shock bolt and put a 90 on the shock air line fitting. I used the old donuts which were narrower, but I guess you could cut down the new ones. Will post again when I have a chance to try it out. Here's is a pic.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't work. There is about a inch left before bottom out and they have plenty of extension...so might be.  Doc

Matt,
Here's a link to that air pressure management system mentioned earlier.  A bit pricey for what little it actually consists of.  Could be home-brewed for much less.
