Custom Tongue and Winch box almost completed.

[baseball_lvr]

I built this custom winch box with a drop down door in rear to allow access to the winch for my new auto hauler. As well as cigarette lighter 12v outlet, voltage meter, and usb outlets on the side. Charge will be maintained by a solar panel when not connected to tow vehicle.

Very nice! What are you using for winch cable? Looks like it is not a steel cable.

I have wanted to build one for my trailer

I am using a synthetic rope. I have a protective sleeving that covers it and protects it fom fraying. A lot easier to deal with than 90' of the heavy cable.. Alot easier to deal with too and it stronger and weighs about 50 to 60 less pounds.

Very nice.

Whats solar panel are you going with?
I need to do the same thing, I was thinking of making it about a foot off the deck to keep the cable from dragging. I have one of those volt gauge panels I was going to use on a golf cart, using it for the trailer is a great idea.

Im using one of the few items I will buy from harbor freight tools. They make a very nice 16x5 inch solar panel that I am using to charge the battery. I also throw my agm specific charger on once a month to keep the optima conditioned.
