Flip House Modification

[JCNodak]

I have purchased my first ice house. I have been ice fishing for years but always relied on a buddy or just fished outside. I got an older Fist Trap Pro one man. Now I am looking into ways to customize it. There are all sorts of youtube videos out there but I am wondering if anyone has a unique or cool modification that I or others may not have thought of. Any must haves? I know I will be stringing some LED Lights. I did search for a previous thread on this but could not find it. Thanks for the advice in advance.

Spot for a cooler and a beer holder is first in line

I have a battery holder for an extra vexilar battery that I wired up lights and a fan to. I made a little switch box so everything is on switches. I also added a usb and 12v charger to the switch box for charging phones.

^^^but most importantly is the spot for the beer!

Setting up a spot or rod holders for a couple spare rods that are pre rigged and ready to go.

I don't want to steal your thread but I assume a vexilar cannot be wired straight to a 12V battery, What kind of doohickey would go in between?

No, it can be wired direct no problem.

What about LED strips? Can I hook them to a vexilar battery or does there need to be resistors in there?

I ran an inline fuse but I don't think you need to.

That is just about what I paid for the house. I am betting there are some resistors in there.

Bought a 15 foot spool of weatherproof led lights on ebay for $12 shipped and cut it to the length I wanted to run along one of my top poles in my portable. Spliced on a 2 way trailer connector on the end of my lights, on my vexilar, battery box I made, and my charger for my vexilar. I was concerned about the quality of the lights they work great so I'd recommend the ebay lights instead of forking over $40 for the led lights you get at the store. The trailer connectors are the way to go in my opinion, I can power my lights with either my vexilar or my battery box, and charging is just as simple.

12 volts is 12 volts. No.

Maybe guywhofishes will chime in as he is the king of fishhouses. I think his fish house heater runs on plutonium which means you never run out of propane.

Do you have tarp strap bindings on the board?

 

[Enslow]

Is that skateboard equipped with trap strap hooks so you can strap a dog to the board?

Look into shack mat or any other kind of flooring. Keeps things dry and your house that much warmer.

Also: Bluetooth speaker, any kind of storage box, beer and beer holders
