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 ?
I just have an extra battery that I hook the clamps too, but most of the time I just use a hand crank one. I have both..
