Hey Ken. I checked with the manufacturer and the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Jack w Footplate item #DL22340 does not have an optional wheel kit. It's the DLX-SF model. The Dutton-Lainson item #DL22339 is the DLX-SW model that comes with the wheel…
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.
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…
Yes, it will Bruce. However, you will also need to install the Westin MAX Winch Mounting Tray item #W25VM first. The Westin MAX Bull Bar for MAX Winch Mounting Tray item #46-43740 will bolt right to it. It comes with all hardware necessary to…
Hey Michael! The etrailer Electric Trailer Jack w/ 7-Way #e74GV you were looking at will definitely have enough lift for your Coleman 13R. This is a great option if you just want to power the jack off the 7-way on your vehicle instead of running it…
That is an interesting dilemma; for the Prodigy P2, the 0.9 error is one that will flash a few times a second or steadily display. When this occurs it is because the controller recognizes that the trailer is connected but the P2 loses connection to…
We can get you set up with a good replacement for your 2,600 lb Fulton winch, but let's start with what you asked in regards to the strap vs. the cable, with the latter being the better choice. A strap is fine but there is a risk of fraying or…
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…

Hey Rich! The Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch #F142430 can only be used with a cable. The Curt #C45ZJ can be used with a cable or a strap. The Fulton also includes a handbrake. Outside of that they are pretty similar in terms of…
Hey Chris! The black wire on the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack #e23ZV is just a ground wire. Realistically you can ground it however you want but I would say running it to the frame with a self-tapping screw as indicated in the instructions is the…

What kinds of winches are there, and what are they used for?
There are a few types, depending on what you need. Hand winches are great for lighter stuff, like loading small boats or ATVs. Electric winches are perfect for heavier jobs, like pulling cars onto trailers or getting a stuck vehicle out of the mud. If you’re working in an industrial setting with really heavy loads, hydraulic winches are your go-to.
How do I figure out what size winch I need?
Take the maximum weight you’ll be pulling and multiply it by 1.5. So, if your vehicle weighs 4,000 lbs, go for a winch with at least a 6,000-lb capacity. It’s always better to have a little extra pulling power than not enough.
What’s the difference between synthetic winch rope and steel cable?
Synthetic rope is lightweight, easier to handle, and won’t whip if it breaks. Steel cable is abrasion-resistant and built for rugged use. Go with synthetic if safety and ease-of-use matter more, or choose steel if you need durability in rough terrain.
How do I take care of my winch so it lasts?
Regular maintenance makes a big difference. Clean it after use, especially if you’ve been in mud or sand. Check the cable or rope for frays and inspect the other parts for damage. Don’t forget to lubricate the moving parts—it keeps everything running smoothly and prevents rust. Following the manufacturer’s guide is always a good idea too.
How do I wire an electric winch to my vehicle?
