I decided rather than pushing the limits of my car trailer any longer I would upgrade while I was ahead and get myself something rated for the type of weight I'm hauling on a regular basis. I got a great deal on this Brand New Deckover trailer and spent a couple hundred dollars extra getting it equipped to fit my needs perfectly. This trailer should help me to be much more efficient when loading and unloading, not to mention be much safer since it's rated for well over what I typically haul. Check it out!!

Welcome back buddy, happy to see your still posting. Hope all's well with the family.👍

@MohawkMotors 3 года назад

Thank you! Glad to be back uploading. Family is good and we're finding a rhythm so should be able to get videos up consistently again soon.

@wsucougarx 3 года назад

I'd put a long metal plate that spans the mount on the underside (under the deckboards). You will have upward tension as the towed vehicle reaches the front of the trailer bulkhead.

@MohawkMotors 3 года назад

I hadn't thought of that, you're right and that's a really good idea. Thank you!

That’s what am gonna do

@stevelutzke9600 3 месяца назад

Plate as stated then instead of a battery why not add another plug and just plug it into the plug on your truck when you need it. No worries about buying a battery and keeping it charged.

How do you wire the battery to charge while driving

@MohawkMotors 27 дней назад

In the RV style 7 pin trailer connector, there is a pin labeled "+" or "battery +" depending on the brand of connector you have. Run a wire from that pin to the positive terminal on your trailer battery and it will charge your trailer battery.

Know what you need to worry about with that battery dinners corrosion do not open great and going to cut it because you're going to get a lot of s*** rain and mud and everything else underneath there

@MohawkMotors Месяц назад

Going on 3 years now and now problems so far. No corrosion on the battery either, the way I have it positioned is covered by the rear panel of the lid and I really don't pull the trailer in the rain much at all.

@RMS-gl6wl 10 месяцев назад

Great video. How are the upgrades to the trailer holding up?

@MohawkMotors Год назад

Awesome! Been using it for over 2 years now, hauled well over 100 full size trucks and suvs with it, and it hasn't missed a beat.

@vincentderval3430 Год назад

Hey where are the info about plugin the battery so it charge while driving?

@MohawkMotors Год назад

There is a pin in the trailer connector for Battery +, that pin is a direct connection to the battery positive post so it will have vehicle voltage (around 14 volts) and will charge a battery on your trailer.

@oby-1607 Год назад

I use every inch of my deck space and would never mount the winch on the deck. Mounting to wood is kinda ghetto when there is steel available. If you don't want to mess up the powder coat you could clamp the mounts to the forward frame ahead of the front rail. A little fabrication goes a long way.

@MohawkMotors Год назад

Everybody has different preferences on how to do things. I'm extremely happy with it set up this way and haven't had a single problem. Thanks for watching!

@SwampFeet678 Год назад

Lol, made me smile when you busted out the HB tool box as well.

I get asked this often enough, that I think it's worth making a video on it, so keep a lookout, I'll get it up asap!

@colin8532 3 года назад

NICE SETUP! I just picked my equipment trailer up about a month ago myself. Not nearly as nice as yours though. Still waiting on a good deal to come up for my winch though. I would love to see how you hooked up the wiring to charge the batteries when hooked to your truck. Thanks for another great video Jason, thumbs up as always

@MohawkMotors 3 года назад

Thank you! Patience and keeping a lookout for deals, if you have a harbor freight near by they usually have pretty good prices on winches. I'll get a video up on how to wire so the truck charges the trailer battery also!

@joemcneil9273 2 года назад

harbor freight has some good deals right now, 300 bucks for the 12,000, less for the 9,000 or 5,000 do well also.

@MohawkMotors Год назад

The trailer battery? I can probably do a short, it's very simple.

@stevenall7317 Год назад

With the wench mounted that low, does the cable ever rub on the rear of the trailer when wenching something up onto the trailer?

@MohawkMotors Год назад

Yes, the cable occasionally rubs on the steel angle where the fat deck meets the angled portion of the deck. Hasn't hurt the cable or the steel angle though.

@stevenall7317 Год назад

@Mohawk Motors thanks. Im preparing to mount one on my trailer and was qurious. Im thinking of devising a roller that can be placed in the area that might rub the cable. Nothing permanent. Just something to attach as a prevenative measure.

@thehorseman1806 Год назад

I may steal some of your ideas if thats ok with you? I'm gonna be installing a 13000lb winch on my car hauler soon, I really like how you did your setup...though my toolbox will be directly behind my winch instead of behind and below it.

@MohawkMotors Год назад

yeah absoutely! Hope yours turns out great, mine has been working great for years now!

@Eastern_SA 2 года назад

Can you connect power to the winch through the trailer connect without a battery in the trailer?

@MohawkMotors 2 года назад

You could, but it wouldn't work. The Battery positive through trailer plug is only run through like a 10 gauge wire and usually has a 20 or 30 amp fuse on it. It would barely be able to turn the winch motor, definitely not able to supply enough power to actually pull a load. That circuit is only designed to charge the trailer battery and maybe run a few small accessories like lights.

@Eastern_SA 2 года назад

@@MohawkMotors Good point in the amperage. How many amperes does the winch need? So, 60 or 70 amps battery will do?

@MohawkMotors 2 года назад

Depends on the winch. Mine draws 180 peak amps, rule of thumb is to have a battery with at least triple the Cold cranking amps of whatever your peak amp draw may be, 540 cold cranking amps in my case. I went with a battery with 560 cold cranking amps.

@Flatshiftn 2 года назад

Is it difficult to load cars on a deck over? I’ve considered buying a deckover as well, but I don’t want to limit myself and not be able to load cars because of the angle.

How to make the vehicle charge the battery?

@MohawkMotors 2 года назад

In most modern vehicles with factory wired trailer connections, there is a Battery + terminal in the trailer connection, when the vehicle is running, that terminal will have the same voltage as the vehicle, usually about 14 volts. If you run a wire from that terminal in the trailer connector, to the positive terminal on your trailer battery, it will charge the trailer battery using the vehicles charging system when the engine is running.

@chickenfoundation9323 2 года назад

What do you use to make sure the battery doesn’t die from using the winch

@MohawkMotors 2 года назад

It's connected to the battery + terminal in the trailer plug, so when the truck is running, it's charging the battery.

@@MohawkMotors can you do a video on how it’s set up?

@MohawkMotors 2 года назад

Too simple for a video, your trailer plug on your vehicle should have a post in it that is battery 12V+, connect the 12V+ terminal in your trailer plug to the + post on your trailer battery. That's it
