You stole my idea!!!

J/K. I have been thinking about that for a while. My plan would have had the canvas drop down, or remove for highway towing. That way only the metal skeleton would offer wind resistance. Of course, my version would have no permanent fixtures like bunks. So, basically, it would be a big portable on wheels. Kinda like that Canvas Craft thing.

Kudos on an excellent build!!! I would love to see it sometime!!

That is really cool. Tell us more. Will you pull it down the road as is? Does the canvas come off quickly and easily? Dimensions. How much $ do you have into it? I have to agree with above post that you should take it with you if not attended. Neat idea. And yes I think it will work.

I really like it, we looked at one last spring at The Whitetail Deer Classic. Like the idea of being able to load the wheeler in the trailer and then get to the lake and use the wheeler to take the house to the lake.

They are suppose to heat well with a buddy heater.

Good luck I believe you will really like it.

These canvas wheelhouses travel on the hwy with the canvas in the up position, it has been tested and proven with thousands of miles without any signs of ware. The Canvas and frames are easly removed if you want to use as a open trailer. This unit retails for $4795.00. 6.5x15' The canvas shop in Crystal, MN sells them. They can also be used as hunting blinds!

My dad has the same house he has had it for around 4 years, they used to be called use4all trailers out of Sandstone. They use heavy duty snaps to hold the canvas to the trailer, and it pulls down the road great with the canvas up. Its biggest benefit is the weight. I can pull it out on the lake with my wheeler on 8" of ice instead of waiting for 18-24", I'm sure I could pull it on less but why risk it. They stay very warm, we use a big buddy heater usually on low and fish in T-shirts. We also use it for a deer shack. The one thing that he's planning on doing to it is insulate the floor, but not sure on what to use or somewhere to bring it if it has to be sprayed on. The funny thing with it is whenever you stop at a gas station or restraunt and come back out, there are always people looking at it and they usually are feeling it.
