Hey Aaron. The Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch item #BDW36QB is going to be the most replacement for your older BDW10043 winch. It includes the requested remote kit as well. The Bulldog item #BDW36QB has a 6-hp motor, a wireless remote…
Appreciate you reaching out John, The Superwinch Hand Hauler #SW32SR uses a brushless motor, so it's designed for a long service life with normal use and proper storage. Superwinch does not provide a lifespan, but the winch has a limited lifetime…
Hey Dave, thanks for the pictures! Based on what you have and what you are looking for the Tie Down Spare Tire Mount part #TD66FR that you referenced would be a great option. This is very similar to what you have now so it would do a great job.
Hey Juan! The Replacement Wireless Remote for ComeUp Seal Recovery Winches #CU881102 is actually the 883822 you're looking for. Our part number reflects the original 881102 which has been replaced by the 883822 so it will work with your winch.
The Badland winch 9k has a power draw of 300 amps at full load. You need a deep cycle 12V AGM battery that can handle that amperage. I recommend a battery with 650 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). Badland Winches are an introductory winch with a not so…
For a 12,000 lb. electric car trailer winch like the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part #BDW10040, I recommend a standard 12 volt lead acid battery rated up to at least 650 cold cranking amps (CCA). As long as the battery is rated up to 650 CCA then…
Good question, Tina - you’re in the safe zone with the M-3 aluminum plate #M348FR. It’s 3/16 inch thick and fully welded across the piano hinge (some cheaper ones are just bolted instead of welded), so even with heavy mowers or small tractors, it…
For a winch like the Superwinch S6000 Winch #CU854754 you will simply want to use the Trailer and Vehicle Electric Winch Wiring Kit #BDW20207. Since winches can vary on how much they can pull this also affects how much power they need. For a winch…
Hello Greg, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the EcoHitch Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver #EH99CR will indeed fit your 2023 Tiffin Wayfarer/Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. You will need to temporarily remove the grille during installation, and the front…
Is this a winch something that installs on a vehicle? Or would you be plugging it into a wall outlet? What is the 1,200 lb item that is getting pulled? A rolling load? Is there an incline at all? Do you prefer a wire rope or a strap?
A man cave in the attic, sounds like an interesting project that you have going on here. I would love to see pictures of the project once it is completed! The StrongArm AC Powered Winch, #DL25514, that we offer powers in and out to avoid a free-fall…
I recommend using the CE Smith U-Bolt #CE15501A because it is stainless steel, measures 2-1/8" wide x 4" long, and it includes the washers and nuts you need for the installation. Ultimately you will still get galvanic corrosion over time…

Pick the setup that matches how you pull. For pop-up campers, use a power-in and power-out winch to raise and lower smoothly, and remember a rolling vehicle often needs less line pull than its weight. When wiring to the rear or a trailer, up to 4K uses 6 gauge while higher than 4K needs heavier cable, and some high-capacity setups call for 2 gauge. Mount to a strong, backed surface, keep the pull in line, and choose cable for pulleys or a strap when you don't need one.
Choose based on how you'll pull. Cable can run through a pulley for lifting leverage but can stack and rub if it spools without guidance. A strap can reduce abrasion on the drum but won't work with some pulley setups. Keep pulls straight and use fairleads or guides to help the line spool evenly.
Keep the pull as straight as possible to reduce jumping or wrapping around a shaft. Use a fairlead or pulley and guides to manage the line, and free-spool to pull cable out faster when setting up. Monitor how the line lays on the drum and respool under light tension to help prevent damage. Check for rated holding when pausing during adjustments.
Use heavier cable for higher pull ratings. Up to 4K can use 6 gauge; higher capacities need thicker cable like 2 gauge. Run power from the vehicle battery and use quick-disconnect connectors for fast hook-up. Keep cable runs short and secure to reduce resistance and voltage drop.
Pick a winch that powers in and out so you can raise and lower the roof. Mount it directly in line with the lift cable to avoid binding. If reusing your camper's cable, verify it can be secured to the drum with the set screw. Keep the battery close and protected; a marine battery with sufficient MCA works well.
Make sure the mounting surface is strong and reinforced; a backing plate helps. Check bolt length, especially through a trailer floor plus plate—longer hardware may be needed. If you must mount off-center due to bracing, plan fairlead alignment carefully. The winch is only as good as what you mount it to.
