As we have equipped our camper with a
winch, we needed to practice the usage to get some experience for the case of recovery situations.
 |
| Main switch for the winch |
 |
| Start the engine to provide enough electrical power for the winch |
 |
| Use of leather gloves strongly recommended |
 |
| All tools on one place |
 |
| Winch remote control on defined place in the camper |
 |
| Receiver unit for the remote control |
 |
| Connect the receiver unit at the external connector |
 |
| Do not forget to remove it after winching! |
 |
| Switch on the winch with the remote unit |
 |
| put the tree trunk protector around the base of the tree |
 |
| Ready to connect the snatch block |
 |
| The WARN winch integrated in the front bumper of the camper |
 |
| Pull out the rope of the winch |
 |
| Massive shackle to connect snatch block to the tree belt |
 |
| Open the snatch block and connect the rope |
 |
| Connect tree belt with snatch block using the shackle |
 |
| Second anchor at the camper using the standard tow hitch |
 |
| Connect the end of the rope with the integrated soft shackle to the anchor point |
 |
| Now we start pulling, the remote unit allows operation from the driver seat or from outside. |
 |
| Now the rope is under power, for safety reasons we covered the rope with a small carpet |
