muskybones Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Are there any fish house manufacturers that use electric rv jacks to raise/lower the house? I am looking for one that all jacks raise/lower at the same time, not one at a time. My wife doesn't want me to injure a hand or shoulder with the cranks system (hurt hand/shoulder = husband doesn't work = no new fish house). Thanks in advance for information and advice.Bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroy77 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Custom cottages uses RV jacks but I don't know if you can use them all at once. Try giving them a try, the owner Eric could answer your question, he is very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjohnson5150 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 We own a Salem with electric jacks. They are okay. I always re-evaluate things and if I could do it over, I'd look closer at hydraulics instead. Its faster and takes no juice. The electric jacks need a generator most of the time so be sure to take that into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASMOLEY Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'd look closer at hydraulics instead. Its faster and takes no juice. Hydraulics will still require power to run the pump. It wouldn't take as much as running four independent jack thou... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanytoys Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 built my own last year with 5th wheel electric leveling jacks, they are rated at 7000#s and wired them to lift /lower at same time works great . i have moved the house 4=5 times in a day and not had to charge the battery's . they are not fast by any means but if im out on the ice i am in no big hurry anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
