If you're talking about the arctic caboose, I have one. It is useful at times. As long as you can drive out on the ice, it is great. I'm heading up to Winnie tomorrow, and it is really good for this annual trip...it doesn't take up space in my truck, as it hooks on the back.

I can give a full review if you want...just be aware that it is not quite as mobile as a sled/flip style, but like I said, it is very useful in certain situations.

I was begining to think I was the only one in the world with one. There is one huge problem with them, you have to be able to drive you truck out onto the ice(unless you have an ATV with the 2" reciever). So for a guy that lives in the metro it makes it hard to use. Lets put it this way, I have been ice fishing about 15 times this year I haven't even taken it out of the bsmt yet. I bought it cheap so I don't regret buying it but a guy probably should own a sled style portable too. However I leave for URL in a week and it will be perfect to bring up there.

You're absolutely right about owning more than one portable with the Caboose. It is truly a situational house. I actually have three portables (see my related thread in the 'do you own more than one portable' thread).

I love the Caboose for our extended trips, when we stay at the resort. The Caboose can just stay hooked up to the truck all weekend, ready to go quickly, and doesn't take up space in the box.

It works great for that purpose. But I also have a small sled style and a Speed Shak, because there are times that those are better. Depends on how you do your fishing.

I bought one this past fall on closeout at Gander in Baxter. Haven't used it yet...but I do have it attached to my Kodiak 450.

I love the idea, as I hardly ever drive me truck onto any ice...but I have a couple of smaller houses for when(like this year) the ice hasn't been ready for an ATV.

Pretty much the only issue I can see it that, on an ATV, the hitch attachment sits pretty low to the ground.

Finaly got to use it this weekend we went to LOTW, I have to say I love it. It easy and quick and portable. allthow fishing was poor , and the weather was cold. It was nice to have something easy to set up. I have to agree with haveing more than one fishouse. With this one I have three portables and two sleepers. The other good thing about this one is you can leave it on your fourwheeler in the back of your pickup and still close the tailgate, if your have a long box pickup witch are rare these days. smile.gif

It sounds like we have all come to a consensus that it’s a nice house but you have to another one to use also. Now we just need to figure out how to explain to the wife that we need to buy another $400 portable house but she can’t buy another $200 purse.

    • Luxury RV camping has become increasingly popular in recent years as people look for ways to enjoy the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. With the right equipment and preparation, luxury RV camping can be a truly unforgettable experience. In this essay, we will provide you with the ultimate guide to luxury RV camping, including tips on choosing the right RV, selecting the best campsite, and packing for your trip.   The first step to planning a luxury RV camping trip is to choose the right RV. There are a variety of different types of RVs available, ranging from small and compact trailers to large and luxurious motorhomes. The right RV for you will depend on your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   One popular option for luxury RV camping is a Class A motorhome. These motorhomes are typically the largest and most luxurious RVs available, with spacious interiors, full kitchens, and even multiple bathrooms. They often come equipped with high-end features such as leather upholstery, flat-screen televisions, and high-quality audio systems. Class A motorhomes are also the most expensive type of RV, but they offer the ultimate in comfort and luxury.   Another popular option for luxury RV camping is a fifth wheel trailer. These trailers are typically larger than travel trailers and are designed to be towed by a pickup truck. They offer many of the same amenities as Class A motorhomes, including full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, and high-end features such as surround sound systems and flat-screen televisions. Fifth wheel trailers are often less expensive than Class A motorhomes but still offer a high level of comfort and luxury.   Once you have chosen the right RV for your luxury camping trip, the next step is to select the perfect campsite. There are a variety of different types of campsites available, ranging from basic, no-frills campsites to high-end RV resorts with all the amenities. When selecting a campsite, it is important to consider your budget, your travel plans, and your personal preferences.   If you are looking for a truly luxurious camping experience, consider staying at an RV resort. These resorts often offer a wide range of amenities, including swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, and even golf courses. They also typically offer high-end services such as concierge service, valet parking, and room service. RV resorts can be expensive, but they offer the ultimate in luxury and comfort.   If you are looking for a more affordable camping experience, consider staying at a state or national park. These parks offer a variety of different campsites, ranging from basic tent sites to RV sites with electrical and water hookups. While state and national parks may not offer the same level of luxury as RV resorts, they do offer the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors.     Once you have chosen the perfect RV and campsite, the final step is to pack for your luxury camping trip. When packing for a luxury RV camping trip, it is important to focus on comfort and convenience. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather and activities you have planned, as well as comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.   In addition to clothing, it is important to pack all the essentials you will need for your trip. This includes bedding, towels, toiletries, and any medications or other personal items you may need. It is also important to pack food and drinks, as well as any cooking supplies you will need for meals. If you are camping in the cold weather, bring the Ocoopa Union 5s rechargeable hand warmers are easy to use for camping. First, charge it, then turn it on, and finally, place it in your gloves or pockets. Additionally, the rechargeable hand warmer has 4 heat settings, allowing you to adjust the temperature to various weather conditions. With a large 10000mAh battery, it can provide up to 15 hours of heat and could use as a power bank, making it an ideal hand warmer for extended outdoor activities.   Finally, when packing for your luxury RV camping trip, don’t forget to pack entertainment options such as books, movies, and games. While luxury camping offers many opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, it is also important to have options for downtime and relaxation.
