yes I know how hard it is getting trucks and buses out. I have had semi- trailers, loaders and buses sunk to there belly.
I am considering getting two 12,000lbs Iron Man
winches (front and rear), but won't be taking my motor-
home in
places I use to (and still do) take trucks and loaders into. Will run separate 12 volt batteries for the
winches with a step down charger.
How does the 12.000lbs winch go on your truck/bus. Is it strong enough to pull you off wet soft grass. I did consider getting a hand winch but my arthritis is not liking that idea. Also motor-homes space is limited so have to find somewhere to put the winch and cable.
Scott M suggested traction treads which I thought of as
well. I went to the caravan and camping show on Saturday (
Perth) and asked sellers what weight they could handle, not one of them could tell me.
I guess I probably don't really need a winch as the times I would use it would be minimal but considering the overall cost I am putting in to build up my old bus, adding a winch for security would not be much more as I do like to get a little adventurous.
