Designed for ice fishing, fish houses are towable campers with openings built into the floor for ice fishing from the comfort of a trailer. Many fish houses also offer all-season features for general camping.
Read More (About Fish Houses)Fish houses allow you to ice fish in style and comfort. The towable campers feature floors with built-in holes for ice fishing with the luxuries of four walls, insulation, and windows to let fishers stay warm and dry. Fish houses can also be configured for all-season use and can include air conditioning, bunk beds, cooking appliances, dinettes, and sofas.
As weight is a concern on the ice, most fish houses are built out of aluminum. Many models also feature lift systems (either hydraulic or electric) to let fishers easily raise and lower the trailer off of and onto the ice. Fish houses are typically available in lengths from anywhere from 8 to 25 feet, while widths generally range from 6 to 10 feet. Longer fish houses tend to include more room for all-season camping amenities like appliances, beds, and cabinets. Some models include toy-hauler storage, so owners can take along ATVs, snowmobiles, and other powersports vehicles.
Fish houses typically feature marine-grade flooring to prevent moisture damage from water and ice. To keep the unit comfortable, fish houses can sometimes be configured with a vented, thermostat-controlled, and forced-air furnace. For warm-weather camping, fish houses can also be equipped with an air conditioner. Larger fish houses tend to include conventional RV amenities, including features like satellite/cable hook up, built-in speakers, and a bathroom with a dry-flush toilet. Since winter days are shorter, fish houses may also include built-in interior and perimeter lighting—the latter can help when setting up and moving the fish house.
