Redneck Wheel House

[drillinforgold]

Looking for some ideas on trying to make my 8X20 enclosed car hauler into a part time wheel house. It is already insulated, has power and generator and 18000 BTU heater. My biggest problem is that I can't put drop wheels on it or it won't support a car without full axels. What do you guys think about 10" PVC vertically down through the floor to an 8" ice hole (it would be about 14" off the ice) and would I have to skirt it every time I set up on a new spot? Bales would be great but I would have too haul 17 with me. Any other ideas??? Obviously it won't be the most mobile but would be nice to have if the snow wasn't too bad! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to give the Ice Shack Tips forum a quick look. Lot's of great ideas, mods and stuff go on there. There are a ton of smart handy ice folks here but, you'd probably get more replies there than here for what you're looking for.

5 gal pail sleeves or best bet is catch covers and sleeves

I would think you would be good with just the pvc sleeve.  Paint them black and they will catch a little sun (maybe) and warm up a little more to keep the hole melted out.  If you had them, I would skip the 14 bales of hay.
