Pop Up Hoist/Winch

Has anyone ever retrofitted an Electric hoist/winch to their pop up.
Are they Specific to the trailer manufacturer or is their a universal
model. What sources would you recommend.
  • I thought of this solution, but I didn't consider a "Spark Plug Socket"
    as the driving device. I was trying to figure out how to make the square
    end piece strong enough to not slip or break loose from the drill.
    I'll give this a try. Thanks. I'm still waiting for an answer about
    the electrical retrofit if any one has done it.
  • This isn't exactly a "retro-fit" but it works... an 18 volt cordless drill with high/low gearing and an over-sized spark plug socket. Probably cheaper, too.
