Here is my trailer side set up.
When LTZC20 mentioned a trailer being rode hard and put away wet, my trailer cones to mind.
A few years ago when scrap was $245 a ton my goal was to jun 10 cars a week with this set up.
The winch cradle pin goes in the hole I put the white pen.
Also notice the plastic 7 pole junction box on the tounge. I gat that idea from Blazin.  Your trailer is new but once they get old this makes it easy to track down & fix electrical problems.

This is the winch & battery set up I use.
I power the winch with a deep cycle marine battery instead of wiring it up the the truck.  For me it makes it easier to uses different tow vehicles. I carry a spare battery just to be safe, but you get allot of pulls before you have to recharge. If the vehicles roll easy, I can pull at least 10 onto the trailer before I charge the battery.
That big Die Hard has 1150 CCA.  This set up will pull a square body up a ramp in park with  4 flat tires.

Zieg, which one of your trucks will you set up as the tow rig?

At the moment my 2001 2500HD in the picture, 6.0L 5 speed.  Eventually that duty will be bestowed on my 85 C20 454 4 speed once it is back on the road all prettied up rust free and painted...
