OK so here it goes for you short trailer boys. When you have a long trailer the distance from the winch to the door is 40ft plus the door is 9 foot because it is a big ass trailer. So now we are at 49 feet to the hook. Well to spool up 49 feet of winch cable is ton. Let alone if you have another car in front of it. My Big Ass Fancy Trailer has air ride and pretty much lays pretty flat with the double folding rear door. Trying to string the winch cable out and pull it is takes a while. When we just hop in the truck drive it in the extra wide custom width trailer I had build, Tie it down and drive Number #2 inside. The other issue is I have a really nice floor in the trailer thatthe winch cable likes to scratch up. Plus my winch is on a remote and trying to get the remote to work from 40-60 feet away is kinda sketchy. It has a tendancy be kinda sketchy on signal causing the winch cable to buck and risk scratching something. I would like to get a fabric winch line but they have a bigger OD, meaning I could put less cable length in the winch.
So the Next time you guys are trying to load you car in your little 24ft cute little box trailer. You can dream about driving into your trailer someday when you grow up and get a MAN'S Trailer.
