well consider this, i think the average car dome light is about 10 watts and all six of my lights together equal approx 9 watts. the lights are one of the highlights of my fish house. Every person that has seen them wants them for their house. I have 6 in my house. 3 in main ceiling, 1 above table, 1 in bathroom, and one above the stove. Each light consumes about 1.5 watts. As far as brightness you wont be disappointed. When we play cards and drink we only use the one above the table. With all six on it is pretty close to sitting in your house with the lights on. I bought them on hsolist. shipped i think i paid $65 for six of them but they are rated for like 60,000 hours and equal to a 30 watt halogen. search on hsolist for 48 led wide mr16 and you should find them. (Make sure you get the wide angle ones)not the spot light ones

On your wheel system, do ya have jacks on the corners of your house and then you slide the wheels out? I am building a house and was having issues with the way I want to do the wheels. any info would be great.

yes, there is a tongue jack on the back corners. I flip them down, crank up the back and then crank up the tongue jack on the front and pull the wheel/axles and drop it back down. i can put up more pics if you need them. there is no suspension but my uncle pulled it at 65 with no problems. Also the camper came with trailer brakes so that is an added bonus if i hook them up.

if its not too much trouble could you email me some pics on how your tires slide out. (how the spindle is welded to the slide out section?) The way you got your house seems like it works pretty darn well. I have a camper trailer also and that seems like it would work really well. Could you email them pics to [email protected] any help you could give would be great. thanks again. laugh.gif

i used the axle off the camper and cut it in half then went to a metal yard and got some 1/4" thick square tubing the the axle shafts slid into and also some 2x5" tubing to weld to the bumper in the back for the tongue jack mounting surface.

here is the approx cost i paid.

2 side crank swivel tongue jacks. 20/each $40

6' of 1/4" x 1 3/4" tubing $35?

4' of 2"x5" tubing $15?

quick release pins $6

2' of small angle iron $10 (bracing for axle tube)

i got the 5/8" quick release pins(spring loaded)

i tried emailing you the pics but they were too big. The first pic above shows you the setup the best. the wheel on the backside is mounted in the axle tube ready to rock. I drilled my holes about 4 inches from the end of the axle because my assumption is that there is less stress there because its further from the tire itself and wont weaken the steel by the wheel. The tube itself stops front and back movement. I would drill the holes in the axles and then set them next to the axle tube and do some measuring so you know where to drill your release pin holes. When the house is lowered them axles are not going anywhere. I can actually move the house around on the lake without even locking the pins. The weight of the house holds the axles in pretty tight. I also tapered the release pin hole a bit to make it easier to lock in the axles.

    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
