Flash Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Rick,My fishhouse is a 7X12 and the wheels are on the back of the house. This makes the tongue weight terrible. I cannot pull my house with a 4-wheeler at all. It bottoms out the wheeler. Could a guy slip one of these trailers under my home and remove the wheels from the back to balance out the weight some? What do you think?Thanks,Flash"Set the Hook" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted April 3, 2003 Author we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hi Flash,you would need to have us build a custom trailer for you. You would also need to take out six inches on the side of your house for the wheels to fit in because they are retractable. Otherwise it wouldn't be road legal.Anything beyond 6'6" in house size width will require a recess for the wheels in the house. Unless you don't need it to be road legal of course for those who store their fish house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 So, in other words, it would be possible to do? Maybe you could e-mail me at [email protected] I was wondering if you could tell me a price range. Of course it would not be binding. Just a rough guess.

ghotierman Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Loaded question Rick!...Would definately include some cabinet storage...maybe a wall mount for handheld gps (NOT over the hole of course!)...Still looking for ideas to put on the frame here. One thought Kent had that I thought was cool, would be to put the bunks up and forward toward the tongue, like a fifth wheel mobile home...that way the bunk area doesn't interfere with the fishing space...just a few thoughts...lets hear some more!------------------Northeast Outfitters915 Hwy 29 N NEAlexandria, MN 56308(320) 763-9598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinphilth Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 An insulated bait box that also can be a seat, or used to store things instead of letting them lie around waiting to be kicked into a hole. With a removeable plastic liner to be able to dump out the water. Plastic so more durable than the normal foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish- N- Hunt Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Rick,I am very interested in purchasing one of your fishhouse trailer frames. I am interested in the 16'frame. I was wondering how I could get a hold of you to ask a few questions and to see if that would be at all possible. I am ready to buy a frame, and have looked at a few of them. I hope to have a frame within a month.please let me knowThanksFish- N- Hunt[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 RickI have a house on wheels I bought as a shell and I am in the process of "outfitting" her. One thing that is a must is storage, overhead or bench. Ever pull a house across a lake with some loose pails full of jiggle sticks? What a mess. Locking type rod holders on the wall worked great for that problem.Looking for ideas to secure the auger though.Not really a fan of bunks- take up too much room, but some sort of retractable system may get me to try it.Cabinet with radio and speakers works great too, make a handy overhead storage space with tunes(classic country) to boot.Make sure the back has a set of double doors to drive the wheeler into for hauling.Just a few Ideas for ya, if you have any, let me know. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted July 22, 2003 Author we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted July 22, 2003 Thanks for contacting me Fish-n-Hunt. When your ready to go, it will only take a couple of weeks to get it to you after you order. Just a reminder, you can use your house for hunting as well. Thanks for the ideas Poppfish. The 1st Road King fish house will be ready to go next week. This baby is well built by a very meticulous builder. Inside details are all that need to be completed. It will be available in Medford (3 miles north of Owatonna Cabelas) to see as soon as it's done. We sold a 6' 6" x 14' last week to a gentleman who has built 10 houses over the years. He told me he checked out all the frames he could find. To get one like the Road King elsewhere would have cost him over $1500.00 Now is the time to start thinking about getting your drop down trailer. You can e-mail me using the Contact us link below or call Jay at Northeast Outfitters in Alex or Frank at Road King Fish Houses in Medford.(Their phone numbers are in the top post). Jay and Frank also have a Road King Outdoors trailer on display for you to look at. Give them a call. They will also take your order if you'd like. Don't wait too long to get your order in. It's getting to be prime time to build your own. Of couse, we will build a Road King Outdoors Fish House/Camper for you if you'd like. Give us a call.

hunt4food Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I saw a pretty neat and easy bunk system. it's kind of hard to explain, but here goes.. Heavy canvas material had a continuous loop sewn into each side(similar to a camp cot. Heavy metal pipe was then pushed through both continuous loops. the ends of the pipes rested in 2- 2x4's on each end that were notched to accept the pipes. they were easy to remove, roll-up and put away when not in use. I hope you can visualize this, but I can't think of a better way to describe. The slight sag in the bunk from front to back made the buks look a little safer for accidentally rolling out if a guy had a few too many coctails too!

Dakota Iceman Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hi Rick,Couple of questions: First= Is there a set-up like the one guy described where you can open doors and load your wheeler from the back? Second= In looking at the tent style i believe they call it the condo, why are the prices all the same? from the looks of it...you can buy the biggest and best for the same price as the smaller units? To tie this all together...here is my situation. Im looking at buying a new shack(was thinking otter) But i also have two four wheelers to tow, so im going to need to buy a trailer as well...by the time i look at purchases of both...im nearing that 2000.00 mark. Now i do have a full size chevy ext cab 4x4 that i can load the boys 90cc honda in the back, but im still looking at options for the rest of my set-up. The tent style looks like it might work for my application as i would have a place to tow the bigger wheeler on and be able to unload/ but im curious as to how much hassle and the quality of the tent ect... also, the fact that i cant buy the smaller version cheaper than the big version kinda bothers me. Any thoughts ideas or extra info might be helpful, i have found it helps to ask others who have had experience. Thanks for your time, Kelly.

GConda Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I dont think Rick will mind if I answer a few questions. I manufacture these tents and have been using them for the past 2 years. The tent is made out of Cordura 500 denier. I highly doubt you can tear it!. Our prototype still looks like new after one full year of showing it and fishing out of it. We also used it for hunting. The seams are all double stiched, leather on the corners, large double double YKK zippers, waterproofed, and treated with fire ******ent material. Part of the reason for the same price for all sizes is the quality of work and the costs associated with it. The only difference is a few yards of material. We also are making more large tents than small or medium tents. If the demand changes in the next year, we may consider a slight change in pricing. If you have any more questions I would be glad to help. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
