Ice shanty retrofit

[Fish Wayniac]

I found a pop up camper on craigslist for $125.The trailer frame is solid and all the lights work in tow. Someone had made it into a shanty before. The end walls were made of osb chip board and were rotten.I ripped all that out. I have a friend that installs garage doors.He saved me 16 panels from a tear out. I used the insulated panels for the walls. The only thing left to do is to install the wood stove, vent pipe and a shelf for a cook stove. Then I am waiting for 10 inches of ice. The walls are light but camper frame and roof is not. I am pleased with the progress I have 12 hours of labor in it so far.

I was going to make a wooden floor and use the same panels. I couldn’t pass up this deal, so used them for this.

Looking forward to cooking this up in the comforts of the shanty!

Classic case of twofootitis....had to have one a "little" bigger and a "little" better.

My friend that bought Jordan's has it now, kind of the same deal as yours, maybe I'll be able to join you this year.
