Would you post a pic of the hitch setup?
Others might need to see what you used to keep trailer level with SUV.
Not the same bulbs, but I found this link from another SS post: https://www.ebay.com/itm/262037336151. Gonna be trying them out on my new-to-me M1101.

I guess dragging one home counts as "Do to" 
Found this excellent condition HP-J4 in a junkyard, bought it for 30c a pound (1960 pounds).
It is a DRASH trailer, designed to carry a large tent. The rear deck (from the box back) tilts 90* to stand the tent upright.
It has 2022 dated Humvee tires, and a 5kw diesel generator inside the box (drivers side, lower shelf).
The genny is a Lombardini unit, I am not familiar with those. The meter shows 12.8 hours of run time.
It has a battery and electric start, with pull-chord backup. I'm going to do some maintenance on it first before trying to start it.
The hoses for the blower, extra tie-down straps, and a bunch of tools are in the box on the passenger side.
Unfortunately, someone apparently couldn't read the "Not A Step" stenciled on the wheel well, but it is steel so should straighten out easily.
I found a picture on the web of a fully loaded trailer. Pity the tent didn't come with it!
Cheers
Trailer at home, genset, blower motor, and a fully equipped unit.
