[QUOTE="tomshep, post: 16283343, member: 8203"] I have a 24' enclosed, but have a winch box in the floor. If I had to figure out how to mount without the box, I would go to the front wall of the trailer. You are on the right track with some sort of a plate on the bottom side of the trailer with the wood deck sandwiched between the plate and winch. Hopefully you can tie the plate into some of the frame as well for more strength. I have a 30' corded remote that I consider priceless. So, I can operate the winch when standing at the ramp and steer the car by reaching in the window all the way in. I bought it from Summit years ago. You also need to figure out where you are going to mount a marine battery as well for the winch. Probably very close to the winch to minimize cable length. You also need to wire it into the charge circuit for your trailer plug. I also put mine on a battery tender when not in use. BTW, hope you have 6 lug axles. If you have 5 you are probably close to maxed out with trailer and a 3800# car. If you plan on traveling much throw the 15" rims away and buy some 16" rims and use LT tires instead of trailer tires. Get quality straps and tie downs. Buy a Trailer-Aid ramp to help change a flat on the road. Search and you will find images. Best tool ever made! Tom [/QUOTE]
