This still happens!!! even before the flippers can get them!

X~2 ARRGHHHHhhhh
I have had so many people tell Me that "YOU SHOULD CUT A HOLE THROUGH THE FLOOR AND JUST FISH OUT OF THE CAMPER."
It will not happen on My watch.
I live to go ice fishing, well that and Jesus, but, I do not like to drive on the ice and I would especially not drive onto the ice pulling a camper.
I have seen it done. I just respect and value what I have worked to hard to ge, and to accomplish.
Yes, if funds were available I would grab up that camper and see what could be done to set it all right.

I would like to build a drop down shanty. I have been in one that a friend had built. Knowing what he did there would be a few things I would do different so it could accommodate at least four sleeping people, each in a bunk of their own.
His was heavy. His 800cc or whatever it was four wheeler had a hard time moving it.
A couple of extra feet on the hitch length makes for a lot of leverage and a lot less weight for the wheeler to carry.
I built a quick mount hitch extension for my camper, extends the hitch about three foot. My Polaris Sportsman 400 handles the camper with ease with the extension installed.

Funny seeing that, because I believe that is the very trailer I saw listed recently in my local Facebook Buy & Sell page in central Minnesota. I recently came across my first vintage trailer by pure chance - a '48 Spartanette 24 off a country road - and was lucky enough to get it. When I emptied it of filthy mattresses covering every square inch of floor space, I discovered SIX ice fishing holes! They were patched in, and patched pretty well in fact, but it made me laugh. I love ice fishing, but there are better ways to enjoy the sport than inside a vintage trailer. Like... oh I don't know, sitting on top of a 5-gallon pail?

it is in northern MN. Likely the same .

Yep Handkey, Minnesotan. Brainerd area. Since getting my first trailer, and diving into the restoration, I'm rubber-necking like crazy looking for others. There's plenty around, but I don't know enough about all the various makes/models to know if some of them are keepers or not. If you know where the single stoplight is between Clear Lake on highway 10 and Clearwater at interstate 94, there's an aluminum one sitting there that doesn't look bad from the road. Not sure what the manufacturer is.
