Default Simple strap idea/suggestion

Hi Guys,

I have a winch on my open Trailex trailer that is wired into the truck battery rather than an auxiliary battery. This leaves an 8' pigtail wrapped in the trailer, and I'm looking for a better way to strap that in. Right now I've just been using zip ties, but it's a pain because I have to get snips to cut it, and then go get a zip-tie to re-hang the wire. Does anyone have a simple solution that is better?





Thanks in advance!

Put one of these on the truck, and one on the trailer. Make a jumper with connectors on both ends.

you could use a velcro strap like:

Yeah I will probably try velcro - just not sure how it will handle the weather. Thanks

Gear Tie. Like a rubberized reusable twist tie. Owned by a PCA club racer. Available Amazon, Home Depot, etc. Plain, or with clip on or loop end.

OK I think this is the right thing - thanks. I've seen these at Home Depot but it had slipped my mind.
