Canvas Craft

Recommended Posts

I am needing to replace my canvas on my old green otter and at the ice show looked at the canvas craft, looked good. I then pulled up the web site and looked at the all the docs. Looks like good stuff. Next part I would like to hear from people that have gone with the insulated to see how easy it was to install and what they think about it. For the cost one can go out and buy a brand new shack so I need to know that this stuff is worth it. Please let me know your opinions. If you would rather email me my address is [email protected]

Thanks guys

I purchased the insulated shack from CC about 3 weeks ago. I fished Mille Lacs for those 5 or 6 days 2 weeks ago. I never had the sunflower above low. This is an amazing house. I figure I might pay for it in propane savings in a couple of years. On days like we've had recently it warms up enough to keep the holes open without firing up the heater. I LOVE it.

The insulated Canvas Craft portable is a great choice. The white inside is also very helpful in lighting it up. There are many days when I don't need to turn the heater on as the body heat will stay inside if you do a little banking around the house.

If your looking at putting a CC cover on a Otter portable, you will I believe need to change to their poles also.

They only have a few at any given time. They had yo make mine for my Otter. It only took 2 days to have it in hand. No big deal. The poles come with it. You'll want to get the poles with the new tent. They are heavy conduit and work much better than the old round Otter poles.(I think the round Otter poles fit the Canvas Craft tents- CC made the original tents for Otter)

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
