Winch in toy hauler Garage
Has anyone mounted a winch in their garage? if so, would you share some ideas on how you connected it? For instance, is it permanent or quick release?

I'm not lucky. I chose a manufacturer deliberately that does this correctly. (Just one of a million things I considered before purchase.) Sure, some manufacturers cheap out on the installation but it usually rears it's head the first time you put a ratchet strap on the ring and crank something down. That's the exception, not the rule, but sure, why not take a peak under your garage if you haven't before.
On the flip side, I see people constantly posting issues on forums. ST tire failure. Water tanks dropping on the road. Wiring issues. Loose panels. Etc, etc, etc. In fact, it would seem that many, if not a majority of folks, join forums to report and look for help on issues/failures. However, I've yet to comes across a D-Ring failure epidemic even though I'm here, on IRV2, and quite a few other forums daily so your version of common must be a bit different than mine.
Appreciate you acknowledging the fact my suggestion to check the d-rings has some redeeming quality in terms of safety. Thanks.
Lastly, does something have to be epidemic as a precursor to practicing safety? In some cases doesn't safety awareness prevent an epidemic in the first place?
