Whatever you do mount the winch so as it will not grow legs! I mounted mine under the trailer, and cut a hole where the rollers for the cable is above the steel floor. I have a recessed storage box in the front in between the D-rings. The recessed storage box is where the battery is located. I welded a structure across the underside and that is what the winch is mounted to. Someone would have to work hard to get it.
- 18'
- Steel Deck
- Dovetail
- Pull out Steel long ramps
- Electric Brakes on both axles
- Recessed 2.5'X2.5'X 14" storage box
- Breakaway
- Good digital proportional brake controller
- Sway control
- Load distribution hitch
- SPARE TIRE
These are not in order, but are what I feel are needed. The more storage that you have in the trailer, means less time loading and unloading the truck to go to and from the races. And also a good place to store the load leveling bars and sway when not used.
Good Luck
