had one for years and loved it. the only reason I sold it was to go to a flip over style instead. I'd never go back to a suitcase style again, but I loved my speed shack xl and got tons of use out of it, and it stood up to it all!! I like to be mobile, and that shack didn't fit my needs any longer.

My dad has one LOVE IT. the best for "raining" on you cuz of the breathable canvas, black color-warm while the sun is out. sets up really quick and has lots of room for all sorts of stuff. other than thati would reccommend it easy set up easy take down exreamly

I have one and loved it for years. Lots of room, easy and fast set up and I could stand up in it. Im 6'6" tall.

I quit using it when I got a Otter Mag Lodge. Now mine sits and collects dust. Drawback was not very portable and heavy.

The sled type hoouses are best unless your driving and setting up in 1 spot for a long time.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to get it based on the positive responses. We pretty much fish the same spot all day (bass, smelt and trout)and if we move we got 4 wheelers and trailers, so it shouldn't be too hard to move seeing as the shack breaks down quickly. Also glad to see it sttod up to the elements. I was wondering how it would do being so tall.

Spike.

I enjoyed mine, the only problem I had or have is the hinged part of the floor that folds up broke on me. So I have only 2 of 3 working hinges. Called to get a replacement and I have to buy the whole half of that part of the floor which was around $70. After really looking at it, It looked kind of cheap and could have been made much better. Plastic and -20 degree days don't mix. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

      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.

      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.
