Fabric sided trailer fishhouse?

[JScott]

I saw some guys up at LOW this winter with a trailer-type house that was covered with a heavy nylon type (cordura?) fabric over an aluminum framework. They had an atv in there and could fish several guys from it. They said they drove up from the cities with the fabric up and it seemed to work just fine. Very light weight and able to convert to an open utility trailer with the fabric off.

Has anyone else seen one of these, and if so what are they called?

I don't remember the name but they were at the st. paul sportshow a few weeks ago, if nothing else maybe you can find them in an exhibitor list or something like that.

Check out the Road King Condo. Just google road king.

I saw a few of these being displayed at the Brainerd Icefishing Extravaganza. They looked neat, but my first concern was about how durable these houses are?

The models I saw were trailored fully assembled. So what would stop a kicked up rock from tearing a hole through the fabic when cruisng doen the highwway?

I saw them at the ice show, looked pretty cool and very big. I think the fabric I saw was more of a canvas. Don't know if I would drive with it up. Couldn't you have it down and put the wheeler on the trailer?

We drive with canvas covered vehicles all the time in the military....when I used to be in the service.

Canvas tents, not even oilskin ones. But they do comes with insulation for cold weather, but major hassle to set up...

My dad and I talked to a guy who had one of the use4all houses up on mille lacs last winter and that was the 5th season he has had it. It still looked like it was in great shape and he said that he made many trips up to red and LOW with it.

now its working thanks for the info.

[L_Cappo]

wow you can buy a regular pull behind for the price of 1 of these.lol

[Sandmannd]

Yea you could, these are pretty versitile little units though.

[jeep guy]

The drop-and-pop seems a little over priced but it all comes down to how early in the season you want to be fishing out of a wheelhouse. They dont say what theres weigh but the biggest use4all one only weighs a little over 900lbs.
