So, my concern, is if I would have a problem with a wireless control running the winch, with it located under the floor, surrounded by metal. (It is a Warn winch, if that matters.)

The Superwinch version has a short antenna, similar to a 2 inch portable radio antenna, mounted on a small receiver box (with mounting tabs) which plugs into an 8 ft extension cable from the winch connection.
