question about electric winch for car trailer
I recently purchased a aluminum car trailer and I'm thinking about installing a 12 volt electric winch to pull cars up onto the trailer if they are not running. My question is how do you power these winches? Do you run a second set of cables from the tow vehicles battery or do you install a second battery on the car trailer? I would prefer to run seperate cables from the existing tow vehicle battery to a junction box of some sort near the hitch and then when needed plug a pigtail from the winch to this box. Does that make sense ?
