[QUOTE="wby257, post: 225784, member: 1035"] I really dont think it matters what kind of house you buy. When you pull a house accross a lake with snow banks or plowed roads. Your going to beat them up. If you look in the mirror and watch the top of the house sway back and forth its amazing any of them hold up. Try pulling a camper accross the ice like you would a fish house and they wont make it 2 yrs. To me most of the time the axles fail. There toed out from to much weight inside of them. If I weighted everything I have in my house I would guess close to 1000 lbs. Plus the weight of the house on Ice Castles 3500 axles bouncing something is going to move. I put 7500 lb axles under mine. I wont go thru that again. I have seen 10 yr old Ice Castles look like new because they only get used 1 or 2 times a yr. And 2 yr old houses that have been pulled accross Devils lake 30 times in a season, that is hard on a house. If you want to know what its like just ride in one just once. [/QUOTE]
