Although YES Billy Bob any old battery will "work" to an extent. For long term deep discharges its better if you used a true deep cycle golf cart type battery (12 volt or two sixes in series). Also, sure, a cheaper so called RV/Marine battery will "work" but that's at best a semi deep cycle battery and for long deep discharges its still NOT as good as a true deep cycle battery. BUT YOUR MONEY AND YOUR CHOICE just because a true deep cycle is better for your application it will cost more while the cheap setup will still "work". IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH AND HOW LONG AND HARD YOU USE THE WINCH as to what you can get by with. For rare short term low load use heck the cheap route will get you by, but if you're out there winching big loads often, you need to upgrade BOTH your batteries PLUS charging circuit (see below)
CHARGING at best you may have perhaps a 20 amp or 30 amp setup and cord and connection and plug/receptacle so the trucks alternator keeps your trailer battery charged AND THATS GOOD AND WORKS. HOWEVER don't think that light duty arrangement will supply any continuos say 50 to 100 or so amps (its likely protected for only 20 or 30 remember) the winch may draw subject to its load. The lighter your battery is the greater need to supply current when the winch is running. Its possible to use bigger wire and high amp connectors to supply more winch current from the alternator, but a light duty 20/30 amp CHARGING CIRCUIT isn't gonna keep up the energy big loads require
