Introducing the AMERICAN ICE CAMPER/FISH-HOUSE...

 

This is a product design of Gabe's Equipment Sales, and we can build you a frame, or a completed unit.  We designed the American Ice Camper/Fish-house for the purpose of introducing our idea's of the NEW "Craze" of having a dual purpose camper/fish-house in one unit.

 

  After watching the new ideas for a few years and hearing nightmares about other designs and their lift systems, we came up with a design of our own.   There is two main objectives in having a dual purpose unit.

 

  FIRST:  By having a dual purpose Fish-house/Camper in one, we can save the costs of having two units and the upkeep on two units.

 

  SECONDLY:  Convenient set up and take down for transportation from lake to lake or campsite to home or lake.   BASICALLY:  We want a dual purpose unit with "mobility".

 

At Gabe's Equipment Sales we offer two lift systems:

 

·            The Standard winch lift system.

·            Our system with Jacks to raise and lower the unit.

 

  Have you ever followed a Fish-house down the highway and the top of the wheels are tilting inwards and wheels go down the road at an angle?  This is caused because the tubes that support the axles, "twist" from the weight of the unit and the bouncing down the highway.

 

  There is other problems with the standard winch lift tube systems.  The tubes have a ballast shaft on one end that pivots through a steel tube.  After a couple of years of chlorine and salt from the highways these lift systems need major upkeep and maintenance, or even replacement.

 

  At Gabe's Equipment Sales and Christen Brothers Manufacturing, we designed a lift system that eliminates these problems and headaches.  We raise and lower our frames with jacks, much the same as the old pickup camper jack systems.

 

  Raise the structure with jacks and slide an axle and wheel into place and secure it with a clip pin, for short distances like to and from the lake.

 

   Raise the structure with jacks a little higher and back a trailer under it and now you have a real good suspension system for long distance travel.   (PATENT PENDING)
