Oh yeah, he increased wiring to an 8 guage to handle the extra load. He
spliced it in at first with the lights and the winch just kinda laughed at
him. Of course, he had to re-wire a new plug for the thing.

Harry,

My brother-in-law has an electric for his 26 world cat... believe me,
VERY
helpful! I an not sure of the brand, but as for wiring, he has it tied
into
the plug for the trailer lights so it runs off of the battery in the
truck.
That's the most advantageous way to handle the power.

I've going to try the "low" range on my manual winch first. Surely your
brother in law is running some heavy wire up to the battery from that
plug in the back, no? Gotta be a lot of current draw. Thanks!
