10-4

I couldn't afford one of those wireless ones when I had my open carrier, so I had to add about 60 feet to the winch controller for those INOP's.

Yes.

I guess you do that so as not to accidentally hit the go pedal and make
a million dollar mistake?
EXACTLY!!!!

Is the trailer air brakes or just electric?
I went to school as a mechanic so I do most of my own work. Trailer brakes are electric.

I'm too tall to climb in and out of these cars, plus, there is no need to, Superwinch winch and wireless controllers.

I can load the cars easier this way by myself, I can watch everything, it doesn't matter if the car runs or not, AND I don't have to worry about the car slipping, burning a clutch etc.....

I leave the driver's window down, put a blanket on the seat, and a towel over the door to protect it.

They really aren't that expensive. The winch runs about $350 and the controller runs about $100.
