I posted this in HTT because that;'s what this is, but it's not very active over there so i figured i'd throw it up here as well.


Hey all, first time poster, this is my 3rd trailer, first 2 were tent trailers, this is a Aerolite Cub C215.

First mod on all of my trailers is interior lighting, i replaced the stock bulbs with SMD Led panels, gives considerably more light, with less power usage.

Sorry no Before pic.







Next mod is a Flatscreen TV, i think this is a 26inch? it's wall mounted, i have the mount stiff enough that i can move enough, but loose enough that it just sits there without additional support while traveling.

it also has a built in DVD player, and USB, so no need for extra components, just needs a power cord, nice and clean.







And last is my exterior lighting, for this i used waterproof led light strip from eBay, tapped in to the exterior light (and removed the bulb from the orange light), so now this is controlled by the factory switch for the exterior light.

Cleaned it up with some white duct tape, and ran a strip of clear gorilla tape over the entire strip to try to keep it clean and secure (especially at highway speeds, not sure i'd trust the stock adhesive)

Lights up the campsite very well, without blinding you if you look at it.





Planned future mods, is LED strips in the outside storage, inside cupboards and a step light, all switch operated so they are only on when the respective door is open.
Also building a stabilizer setup, based off of rockeeze.. hope it works alright.
and i hope to implement some storage options, many of which i found on here.
Oh also a rear hitch for the bike rack, and for our paddle boat, my brother is a journeyman welder so we'll get it done right!
