Muskymadness Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would like to move my 8 X 16 house from the east side of Mille Lacs to Askov for deer hunting. The old camper furnace went out. It is about 50 miles. Any suggestions?Anyone have a trailer or person who moves houses?please e-mail @ [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phred52 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Muskymadness, Are you talking a wheel house or a skid house? You can tow up to 8 1/2' width legally on the roads. If you know of someone with a car trailer, that should do the job. Phred52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskymadness Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 It is skid house. Do you know of someone with a trailer? How do you get it up on the trailer?Trailer with a winch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phred52 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Musky, Yep... Generally a car trailer has a winch (though not all) And the trailer should be capable of handleing the weight as your house shouldn't weigh THAT much more than a car. I know of several people with car trailers, locally. My guess is though, you'd probably be able to get a better price on moving it without the 160 mile ride to get there first.

Muskymadness Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanx phred. Was hoping you were local to Mille Lacs or knew someone up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phred52 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Mike412, That depends on how much house you want left when you get there! Phred52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkydm Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 A car trailer might not work. Mine is about 7' wide between the wheel wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
