I run a Warn 8000# single line pull winch on my gooseneck as well. What I did is find the longest, heavest set of jumper cables that Napa had and hooked one end to the winch and run the other end to my diesel truck battery and clamp it on like I am jump starting the winch with the hood open. I think the cable is about 25 foot and is a 2 cable.

I like this set up because I dont have to carry a battery on the trailer, I can use any of the three trucks on the farm to run the trailer with no modification to the trucks and I get real good power to the winch.

I normally just open the hood and lay the cable over the bed and over the right side mirror and it is no problem reaching, even if the truck is turned away a little.

Just a thought, it works for me.....
