What about smell in the summer? My wife and I have been talking about it and she is not on board... yet. This is one of holdups.

Any spouse's out there pleasently surprised with the ice house turned camper?

I was planning on buying a camper and my wife was the one who suggested we get a wheel house. After she said that, I pretty much let her design it as I didn't want to give her any reason to have second thoughts. Smell? I assume you are referring to the fish smell left over from winter. I had thought about getting a second layer of carpet backed with plastic to lay over the original carpet, but that seems like a lot of extra work when a guy can spend a couple of hours in the spring with a carpet cleaner.

If you buy an Ice Castle, the $760 investment for an A/C unit is a no brainer if you are planning on using it for camping or hunting. The unit I have on my house pulls around 7 amps on max cool and I never run it on anything more than low cool.

I just use a long rug to go down the center of my house and take that out in the spring and leave the windows open a bit to air out. Dont notice the smell at all and used it for three years now. I also dont slop fish and bait all over the floor either.

I use my 1986 7X11 enclosed trailer for everything. 2 bunks, heater, 12 volt lights , 4 holes with sleeves, shelf, table for Coleman stove, ramp for 4 wheeler. Makes it easy to go hunting, can put 12 foot boat on truck for fishing.
