Last week I bought at Harbor Freight a 12,000 lb. winch ($300 on sale) intending to install it on my 18 foot flatbed trailer. Now I can't decide what is the best and most economic way to get power to it. One way is to have a stand alone battery on the trailer, but the down sides of this are where do I put the battery and how do I keep it charged. It would be used only occasionally.

In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
