What this thingy?

Anyone know what this thingy is?
Is makes a very low high frequency buzzing noise - barely noticeable; but always buzzing.

A mosquito deterrent? Click image for larger version

It's obviously a ROUND thingy!!!
Maybe a thingy bingy?
Buzzing maybe keeping aliens (those from distant worlds) away?
And, if you haven't seen any aliens around, it's obviously working.

Well, you may be right. According to the big "T". If they can wiretap/microphone him, I guess us campers aren't immune.

Mine has one too. I though that noise was coming from the solar controller. No idea what it is.

That is the warning buzzer for the stabilizer jacks. So if they are down and the key is in, that will buzz.
