Found this old post and thought it worthy of an additional note after my first full year with a soderblooms!

I did have an issue with one of the wheels starting to bend in towards the house. The result was that the arm used to release the wheel was actually rubbing on the house. I called Jay and informed him of the issue and he asked when I could bring it up. The house was stored for the summer, but I just got it out last week and took it up to Jay. When I arrived his team stopped what they were doing and the three of them went right to work on my house. Not only did they fix the problem, they added additinal support braces, touched up welds, and went through the whole thing, screw by screw replacing any that they thought looked like were in need of replacement. All this was considered warranty work and Jay would accept nothing.

If ANYONE is looking at getting a house, you owe it to yourself to check out Soderblooms. Great houses, great prices, and phenomenal service. Thanks again Jay

PS - my boys and I have spent 3 nights already this year sleeping in the house out in the yard!!

They look great, but they are not building them this year or I would be looking to buy. The bad thing on warranty is if you live 6 hours away, it doesnt mean much. More dollars in travel time then the repairs!

FYI... 3 year update - this house has held up incredibly well, still looks the same as when i took these pictures. Typically I fish 15 to 20 overnights in a winter traveling in a radius of about 150 miles around Mankato. Cant say enough about the aluminum frame, spray foam insulation, and Jay Sodderbloom!

Not everyone is 6 hours away but I know what ya mean. There are several guys around my parts that have Soderbloom houses and all I talk to over the years seem very happy with them. Any issues they have had have been taken care of very quickly by Jay/Chris and the crew.

      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

      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.
