fitting house and 4wheeler in truck

[toops22]

Hey everybody, i have a chevy 1500 with a long box on it and i was just wondering if anyone has a trick for fitting a 2 man otter in the back of it with a polaris 400 fourwheeler without taking a trailer also. I have the ratchet straps if i would need them to strap the house down if i leave the tailgate open, but any advice is welcome. thanks in advance.

i made a rack that goes into the reciever hitch for my otter, 4 wheeler then goes in pickup. works great and only costs about 50 bucks. Dont have to lift otter up so far then

Same thing I use on my Outlander. If youv'e got a hitch on your 4 wheeler just use a carrier like you see on a lot of vehicles during deer hunting season. Also handier to haul the house like this as opposed to towing it. No hitch or hyfax needed either.

One of FM's sponsors, Otter Outdoors, has the Haul-Rite box and frame you should take a look at. I have both to experiment with and, both units offer the same top quality as all Otter products. You could use just the frame or mount a box on the frame and then strap your ice shelter on top of the box. You can take a look at the Haul-Rite box and frame here.

I have hauled my Cat 500 and Otter Cabin in my truck by ratchet strapping the house , (with a cover on it), onto the back rack of my 4x4 with 2 straps and then loading the 4x4 into the box.

Be careful loading as this makes the back of the 4x4 heavier then the front!

I hauled it this way as far as 150 miles with no problem.

I have a short box chevy and put the atv in the pickup bed and bought a Magnum Hitch-Haul by Masterbuilt from Cabelas for my Eskimo Quickflip II. The lip of the sled sits on my bumper and the back side of the sled sets down in the hitch haul fine. I put on the cover and strap it down and this has eliminated my need for a trailer.

I just bought one of those racks that plugs into your truck reciever for the fishouse and it works perfect. One of the big home improvement stores has one in the ad this week for 39 bucks. The name of the store rhymes with Benards.
