I just installed one on Saturday that I bought from Fleet Farm. We ran it will we trimmed the excess sprayfoam from the walls of my 8 x 14. The heater is a direct vent model DV-20 from United States Stove Company. I paid $250 for it this spring on sale. Empire brands are very popular, but cost more. You can get them from fishhousesupply.

You can get a cheap one that don't vent out the fish house and installing is easy.

You can get an Empire but would guess you need a large one considering the size of the fish house.

You can get a Suberban but you need electricity but than can run duct work.

I've used all tyeps but the non vented type and have to say the Empires are the best since they only need propane to work.

I put a 30K btu Suburban in a 8x16 camper and with the blower feature was more than enough heat.

You could call one of the large resorts on Mille Lacs or LOW and inquire about renting a 10x20 and ask what type of furnace they have. Pretty sure Zippel Bay Resort only uses direct vent not electric powered furnaces.

Hey broman,

How do you like the DV20? I see Fleet Farm has the DV21 on sale this month for $349. How well are the USSC heaters made? Are they made in the US or over seas? Thanks!

I just put in a 15,000 btu atwood forced air and have never been happier but I am only 14'x7'.

It all bepends in your insulation as to how big you go, but I would agree with most of the posters here that bigger is always better. If you are too small you will be miserable and burn a ton of LP. My rule of thumb is always put in the biggest one you can afford. 10x20 I would look at 20,000 btu forced air (like the Suburban NT-20S) or a 30,000 btu radiant (like the Empire DV35) but make sure you have a cieling fan to circulate the air.

All are available at www.fishhousesupply.com, and Ron will treat you right.

      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.
