yep. you have until midnight tonight to guess
two more hints:
- i've done something similar already, and this is replacing it
- it'll be posted on the internet before midnight tonight (but where do you find it? not here!) and i'll share it with you all monday morning

installing an alarm and those are the relay's to light the corner lights?
no wiat that doesn't make sense, however, wiring fog lights to come on with the parking lights would. Why the caps though?

Nice, my last guess was gonna be headlights, but I couldn't figure out why the need for the capacitor.
I am going to do the similar mod where the signals alternate, when I add the fender blinks I scavenged from a Saab.

so, i was browsing craigslist for "propane" just to find some cheap, if not free, tanks. turns out i found one. it was cheap. only $360.
oh, yeah, and it had a trailer attached:
i haven't decided what i'm going to do with it just yet, if i decide to fix it up and keep it, or sell it and buy a smaller trailer

thanks zach! when i opened the ad up, it had no pictures or phone, but it did say $360, which i thought was a misprint. when i e-mailed the guy, he said first person to show up with cash got it, and there had been a bunch of replies as soon as he posted it. i guess it pays to get up at the crack of dawn (sometimes).
how d'yall like the 5.25" hitch drop? and it's still too high. sometime, i'm going to flip the axel to the other side of the leaf spring to gain about 2"
the trailer itself needs a bit of work, but nothing major. the tires are fine, no rust on the frame, and the opening mechanism is greased. there are a few rough spots in and on it, but as of right now, it's 90% camp-able
call me tailer trash!

ha, i'll open it up on friday, after work. it's spacious on the inside, considering it's a pop-up. i can stand up in it and have 3-4 inches of clearance over my head. i think this is a keeper, at least for the summer.
this weekend, i'll let it air out, and flip the axles to the other side of the springs (i'll show you all what i do) for about 1.5-2 inches of "lift". heck, i might even put my old shocks on it to keep it from bouncing so much
as for other modifications, i might add a few more lights (inside), and ad a de-humidifier. they're about $50 and only draw 5 amps. a deep-cycle battery should have no problem with that on overnight. it'll make summer nights so much more bearable.
things i have to fix on it are mostly cosmetic and sealing, but i also have to re-do the wiring. i plan on making it a 7-wire (the big one) connector
