Which flip over is best for 2-3 people?

[kwiggy]

I have a Clam Sleeper, but am thinking I would like to be more mobile with a sled-type flip over. After seeing some modifications that some guys have done, I really think it would be the best fit for me as I usually fish with my 10 yr old and the sleeper is just too bulky/heavy. I think I want a voyager with a trap link connection so I can connect to my sleeper, but I wonder if I will ever do that. I just fished with a buddy with an Eskimo flip over that was HUGE. This looks good to me too.

So... I am wondering what are some of the pros and cons of the larger flip style systems. I want to be mobile w/sled and be able to squeeze three adults in if needed. I also would like to modify it like some of the cool examples shared on this site.

Thanks and Happy New year

I got the voyager as a Christmas present and used it for 5 days straight and just love it... i was mostly by myself which is a bit hard to handle but it does work just takes a bit longer to set up and take down. then other times i was with my dada and that is really nice and easy for set up and take down.... if you have to hand pull it out it will not work with all the snow we have but is you have a snowmobile ATV or Truck to drive out with they are great... one thing you have to consider is it fitting in your truck and being able to take it in and out by yourself... the voyager is very big and your really need 2 guys to take it in and out of the truck.. the good news is it just barely fits in the tahoe... Whatever you choose happy buying!~

Eskimo Grand Caravan has really been a good portable for me over the past two years. Very durable and comfortable. But as with all larger sized flip-over style portable's, they're very heavy and you need an ATV or snowmobile to haul them out. The Grand Caravan is a perfect size for hauling in the back of a crew cab truck.

I really like my Otter Mag Lodge. Lots of room for 2 guys or a dad and 2 kids in a pinch.

i too love the voyager.. works great for two people, plenty of room and easy to set up. it gets a little more difficult with one person to set up, but very manageable. also, it's not to bad to pull out as long as there isn't too much snow.

I really enjoy my voyager good for 2 fullsize people and a kid or smaller person.

The best flip-over for 2-3 people would have to be a guide and a pro, or some combination like that. Two people in one flip-over is great plenty, even in the big ones.

This is the 2nd year I've had my Voyager. I love the thing! Tons of room, easy to modify & still mobile enough for 1 person to load & pull by hand. I did a post earlier this year if you want some mod ideas. I have used it since the mods & absolutely would live in this house if could

Depending on your situation, this might not be a bad option, actually. With the "link" system on the Fish Traps, you can attach the houses together and still be fishing together. At the same time, you can be a bit more mobile by detaching the houses and spreading out to find a pattern/location.

I have a voyeaguer also, and think it is a great house. Plenty of room for two for sure.

I just fished 4 days straight in a Voyager w/3 guys. Sure, it was a tight fit, but it just took a little organization and we were ok. With 2 guys it is great. If you look at my post history, there is a CAD drawing with specs for the mods that I did.

I have an eskimo grand caravan for sale if you are interested. When I bought it 2 years ago I looked at all the houses and this one was by far the best for fishing 2-3 people, the sled is extra heavy duty and the thing sets up in 30 seconds. I since have bought a one man house for early ice and a wheel house for later ice.

The house is great condition, bench seat and/or two boat seats, tow bar and cover. Asking $400 and is located in Hibbing if interested.

I would honestly look at the Fish Trap Yukon. It is much easier to pull by yourself than the Voyager. Also, the Yukon fits perfectly in my crew cab which has a short box.

It has plenty of room for two guys and all their gear.

i cant even stress how much i love my voyager, two people has plenty of room and three would be just fine. i have that thing loaded with just about everything anyone would ever need to ice fish and i can get it into the back of my half ton pickup by myself, without joking i'm only 135lb soaking wet. if you had a second person it's a piece of cake. i did have trouble walking it by myself in snow, but if you have a machine to tow it with your good to go

good luck out there everyone
