Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Here are some more improvments to my Raptor trailer.
BTW this is my trailer

I bought the Air-Tabs recently and I have had them on another trailer and I do think they help on the stability especially in a cross-wind. The MPG savings are small unless you do 500 miles a day then there might be some... . So here is the good side in the light... I have a row on each side and on the top... The tabs stuck to the rubber roof, just have to get it really clean...

This is a 14 LED Light that I bought at www.ledtrailerlight.com There are 3 facing at a 45 deg angle to the front and 3 to the rear and the rest is a cluster in the middle. Very bright and almost able to see during the day.

This is a 60 LED 61/2" Oval I bought at a truck stop and the bracket I bought on E-bay (4 of them) These are way bright... . No trouble seeing them...

This is a mid-trailer marker light and Turnsignal I again bought at a truck stop. Also helps in the number of side markers I have... .
#ad
The next things I did I don't have pics of them but I got 4... 6-volt golf-cart batteries and hooked them... I have also a 2000 watt inverter if I don't want to crank the gen for a small a/c device... . To charge those up, I have 3 Solar Panels totaling 200 watts.
Think I am about done..... Some of you might have seen the Slide out Awnings I bought...
This Awning has a arm that pulls down when the slide-out is out to make a window awning.

This is a new awning that when it extends, it makes a tent to keep from pooling water.

Whew..... Bombing is expensive!!

Where did you get the awnings from? How does your trailer feel when you tow it behind you truck? I heard sometimes the triple axles tow a little better then a tandum. Great work on your 5th wheel
