    Added post style guide-ons & improved my centering device

    I added the lighted guide posts to my trailer and I have the side bunks as well. My primary reason is that I could not see the trailer with my mirrors on my GMC canyon I bought a couple of months ago, with the guide posts I can spot the trailer much better.
