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 |
