[QUOTE="yankster, post: 388744, member: 4171"] When I got this big enclosed trailer my buggy just fit inside, but the tires would sometimes clip the cables for the door closer. After a few times of this happening one of the cables was ripped out. I looked for someone already building an electric door closer but couldn't find anything. So I came up with this idea: ATV winch and battery bolted to a 1/4" plate of aluminum, screwed to five of the metal studs in the wall. I put a Battery Tender solar panel on the roof to keep it charged. I used a pulley from Tractor Supply to guide the cable. And since it's a winch I can disengage it and pull the cable out of the way. I hooked up the remote and ran it toward the front of the trailer. I plan on running some LED lights inside the trailer since a hot battery is always there.
