Recommended Wiring for Electric Trailer Winch
Question:
I am looking at buying the Bulldog Trailer Winch product # BDW10029 to go in my enclosed trailer. I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD that I pull the trailer with. Do I need to purchase an additional trailer and vehicle electric winch wiring kit? If so, what do you recommend. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW10029 will either connect directly to a trailer battery or you can use a wiring connection from your truck battery as you mentioned. For that application, I recommend the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit - Quick Connect to Terminal End - 2 Gauge - 24' Long # BDW20207. I've attached a video of this installation to assist.
This wiring will allow you to use your vehicle battery to quickly and easily power your trailer winch when needed and will allow a simple connection to keep dirt and corrosion out.
