In Minnesota you need no liscense for a portable shelter. You can not leave it out unattended day or night. I would say make sure if you are out after dark that you make it very visable, I had an old Canvas Craft shelter with no refective markings on it. It had very heavy canvase and no light would get through it so the guy that ran over the shelter and myself that night didn't know it was there until it was too late. mad

You don't need a license, but you do need showing on your portable:

a. Your DNR #

or

b. DL #

or

c. Name and address

You need one of these things in two inch lettering. Doesn't matter if it is day or night. One of those three things needs to be showing.

Funny.... I didn't have any questions from the DNR last year. I talked to three different officers and none said a thing about a lack of markings. Maybe it was because I was with the shelter. confused

Doesn't matter if you are with the shelter or not...still technically need one of the three.

From my experience most officers don't make a big deal out of it, but it is absolutely the law and don't let anybody convince you differently. NO reason to risk it. Easiest thing to do is print out your 9 digit DNR number and stick it in the plastic outer sleeve of the portable.

Yep...and it doesn't matter if you are with it or not, it still needs it. It's really easy to just make one. A lot of the portables have a plastic slot that you can slide it right in to. I just use my DNR# so I'm not giving out too much info.

If you are saying that you don't think you need the DNR# or DL# or address on the house you are mistaken and if they didn't say anything then you got lucky. I have had the pleasure of being checked by the DNR at least once a year for the last 5 and they always look for the identifying numbers.....and when they weren't on (friends house) they gave us a warning and the other time they gave us a few minutes to add the number with a marker before they would ticket us!!

What about ID theft why would anyone put their DL# on their shack? I am sure there is a mathematical equation that you could find that would convert your DNR# to your DL#.

Before the feds took over DL#, this use to be the MN formula.

Sounds about right for Iowa.

I tried the paper in the clear sleeve. It kept wanting to slide out so I got adhesive numbers and stuck them on the side of the sled. They might get covered with snow but they are still there. One CO saw them and said good idea. Easier sticking them on sled vs. canvas.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
