Anyone have this shack? I just bought one and am having a problem with the set-up of the tent. I can't seem to get the front porch pole to rest on the ground with the tent secured to the rear of the sled as it is supposed to do. Has anyone else had this problem?? I don't know if this will be ok or not.. THe tent portion is on the ground but the pole is about an inch or two off the ground. Thanks

Yup, I have that problem too. I always just packed a little snow or slush under the back of the sled and tilted the sled towards the front and it helps.

Tony, how do you adjust the tent on the back of the sled? Isn't there only one notch on those poles?

Tony...I have the rear molding set so that the tent is flush with the border of the molding..nothing is overhanging. I'm afraid if I let more of the tent out from the rear then there won't be enough for the molding to grab. How much of the tent do you have in the molding??

I have a new Yukon this year also and have had the same problem as of recently. I think the tent tends to tighten up in this cold weather- After fishing I set it up in my garage and the porch poles were touching the ground again!?? I have about 2 inches hanging below the rubber molding- It has been great until this cold snap!

I spoke with an engineer at clam corp. and he informed me that my tent was just made too small. He told me to try it and they would replace it if I didn't like it. I'm just worried about wind coming underneath...i suppose I'll have to try it. THank you to everyone for your prompt help

I just finished re-attaching the weatherstripping piece around the tub edge and attaching it with the screws. I say re-attaching because I was a bonehead and didn't finish reading the directions and didn't use the screws the first time. Needless to say, the weatherstripping piece flew out onto the highway somewhere.

As for the front touching the ground, it seems to hit just fine.

I do have one question, on the front poles that go around the floor, are they supposed to only touch in the front and not in the back where it curves down from the mounting brace. Where it curves it's at least 5 inches from the ground, but it touches the ground at the front. I think this is normal, but was wondering nonetheless.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
