Looks great! What type of heater did u put in it?

Fishin Fireman · « **Reply #62 on:** Feb 19, 2008, 02:44 AM »

I believe he put a direct vent rv heater in it. I know its under the bench. There are pictures of it in earlier posts.

Thats quite nice, Maine would tax it as a water front lodge. Wondering about the wheels in deeper snow, skis for my wheels and beer for my brothers. Beautiful job.

How much do you think she weighs?

Nice shanty Gamedog. I wish we didn't have so much snow on our lakes so I could pull mine with my ATV. We got snow early and it really screwed the lakes up around here. We have 30" of ice now and my pickup has been working fine for me. Time to head out for a few days again if this wind ever goes down.

Gamedog...are you still open to giving some pointers. I know this is a year old, but I came across it when I signed up today. A buddy and I are in the process of trying to build an ice house and yours is the IDEAL set up we are looking for!!! We both have young kids and want to get them out of the elements. Thank you for your time in advance!!!

I must say this is without a doubt the nicest shack I have ever seen, You are a talented man, When someone take that much time and effort to enjoy the season then you know he loves fishing. There should be a prize for the nicest shack home built and this one would be on the top getting the gold; Hats off to you and again great craftmanship; Enjoy your labour .....

Just read all posts, View all your pics, WOW, Great place to fish out of. I will now sharpen the pencil, & get myself drafting up a "lodge" similar to yours. It probably won't be as fancy as yours. I have an old slide in camper W/a stove & heater (& a sink if heated right) I can use for accessories. I need a better look at the "Drop down" Frame... Nice Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job on the ice hut and thanks for posting the pic's. I was thinking about building a drop down hut also but was worried about mounting the hubs to the springs. I thought the hubs would twist if they are just mounted on the springs causing the wheels to rub on the side of the trailer. I guess this isn't a problem.

Higgsy · « **Reply #76 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 10:35 AM »

10-4, thanks for the tip. I going to build an enclose trailer/ice hut it will be used mainly to haul a couple of dirt bikes + some gear around. But I would like enough room to transport the atv inside the hut until I get to the hard water then use the atv to pull the trailer onto the ice and leave my pick up on solid ground.

I know this is an older thread, but I was curious if the wire used for the outlets, lights etc. is the same used for standard 110 home use or is it 12 volt. I am in the process of building a shanty on an old pop-up camper trailer 6x12. Any info would be appreciated.

brokenline · « **Reply #78 on:** Jul 06, 2009, 11:46 AM »

whatever is cheaper if 110v is cheaper in your area use that..

Mainehazmt · « **Reply #79 on:** Jul 06, 2009, 06:07 PM »

trailer brake wire it is insulated for each line and has an outer cover kinda like home wire you can get it at uhaul or reputable camper dealers steeper than 14 ga lamp cord but worth it esp where it is color coded

bigpileofcrappie · « **Reply #80 on:** Jul 08, 2009, 08:50 PM »

I have a bunch of 110 14-2 laying around so I guess I will use that then. I just bought the siding a few days ago. I will be posting photos as I go. Thanks for the info everyone.

I am making a shanty this year and had a couple of questions about yours. I think I read in an earlier post that you have a satellite or T.V. antenna something to pick up T.V.? If that is true what kind did you use and did you have to pay for the channels? I was looking at the $48 one on the fish house supply website and it didn't really give as much info as I wanted and was wondering if you had this kind if you could give me some info on it. Another question is do you run all the lights and everything else you use run on batteries? If it does, how many do you have, what type and approximately how long does it/they last? If you could answer these questions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I use my direct tv reciever I have from the spare bedroom goes with me camping too I just run it off an inverter and the tv is 12 volts I gone over a day without charging batteries I also have a booster pack I bring as backup to the house batteries charging the batteries after a full night of tv is a nessesity though haul em out ot run the generator My generator I can run for about 10-11 hrs and it is quiet inverter style

GameDog what state are you fishing in to get nice pike and walleye like that. Very nice set up there! Bet it is comfortable to fish out of for sure!!

Gamedog, could you send me an email (ltlwillie1280 at hotmail dot com) ? I have some questions about your trailer construction. Tried PM'ing you but i don't think it's going through.

Thanks
Matt
