Fish House Build

[Rouney725110]

Well I'm thinking about building my own fish house! I wanted to build as long of a house as I can on a single axle. Is there any regulations on that? I've been searching the internet all night for stuff but haven't really found anything. We're kinda planning to build the frame and all ourselves so we can build it as sturdy as we need to. I'm also open to any bits of advise or tips and tricks that any one can offer me!! Thanks!!

For all practical purposes, 16' is the longest you'll want to go on a single axle.

Check Miltona Blacksmith on a frame. For $300 extra he does a heavy version that I'm glad I bought. You might find it as economical as your materials, time and labor. Not to mention the redo's we all seem to do. LRG is right, don't go over 16 on a single axel.

My 8x20(total length with V) is on a single axle with heavy duty hubs/axles. More than 4,000 miles on it and never a problem. Weight distribution is key.

I am looking to go 8 1/2 x 24 next year with hydraulics. It would be a tandem.

I am almost finished with my build. It's a v-front 8x22 single axle. I have pulled it down the interstate at 70mph and it pulls great, no swaying. All the wheel components are rated for a combined weight of 5000 pounds or just a tad over. House weighs around 4500. I would have built it with tandem wheels if I could go back even though it travels fine. Don't like being close to the max trailer weight plus tandem balances the weight better. My tongue weight is about right but with single axle placement is key and where the weight goes after the wheels are in place is important as well. Good luck with the build.
