I would think the Harbor Freight "Marine Winch" would work for you. I=20
have had one of the "power in only " versions for a long time and used=20
it quite a bit without problems. The Marine version powers in and out,=20
and has a crank in case there is no power. 2000 lb pull capacity should=
=20
be more than enough for rolling load of an MGA. You would want the No.=20
61237 as it has a longer hand crank than the 61876. I just bought one to=
=20
add to my pop up to raise and lower the top. I will also use it to load=
=20
a small boat onto the camper.
Just my opinion.
