Trailer setup

Rick Angles · 11-22-2010, 05:37 PM

Phil, I originally thought of wiring the winch through the 7 way, but wasn't sure about the amps going through it when the winch is running. I found the kit I used at Superwinch, so I know the wires / plug are the proper size and will handle the current.

Ed, I thought if the winch leads were not long enough to reach the truck bumper, I was going to run them out the bottom of the box. But it worked out they are long enough, even if they do over the top of the box. I figured I would only have to worry about plugging the winch in when I need to use it. Hopefully after the car is done, I can just drive it on the trailer,

Michael Beard has a picture of my set - up on the Fayetteville Motorsports combo race topic under s/ss forum. Pullin with a 1/2 ton 98 Suburban with no problem and it is a 20 footer.

Love the taillights on the car tapped into the trailer. Very nice idea!

Thanks. Got the idea from here. A few had mentioned about wiring the car to the trailer and I thought up this approach. Looks nice in the dark,
