So I just acquired an old tow dolly, not bad but not great other than being the exact size I wanted. But something occurred to me during the first use, not everything is self propelled.
Lucky for me I have a few inexpensive winches collected over the years that I never use;
I have run a battery cable to the rear bumper on the B2, so no plans on a battery box.
The other big feature is that the table is only 66” wide, plenty for RBVs and everything I own, but too narrow for full size. This is also fine as my tow vehicle will likely be my stock B2, and if I am having a bad day only carrying the B2.
Which winch should I semi-permanent mount to the tongue and what would the practical limits be?

- SuperWinch - obsolete model smaller than the current smallist, power in and out no free spool
- Atwood Boat – unknown, yard sale? Seems in good shape
- Knock off boat winch – complete with handle, leash, works well purchased new decades ago, power in, clutch
