Glacier Ice house

[andyb15]

Starting the hunt for getting an ice house. We will be using it both as a camper in the summer and then on the hardware come winter. I’ve been kind of eyeing up a used Glacier. For anyone have any opinions on them versus an ice castle or grey wolf?

I’ve never owned one, so are there any major things I need to keep my eye out for when looking at a used one?

If your buying a used house crawl under it with a ball peen hammer and check the frame. If you find one hole in 2 years the whole frame will be rotted out.

Also check pivot points for cracks or seized parts that are supposed to move to allow it to lower. On my greywolf there are grease zerks on the pivot points that I grease religiously. When I bought it things were sticky but I have forced enough rust and gunk out that it rotates pretty easily now

I have heard Glacier makes a good house. If it were me, I think I would go with winch straps versus cables...especially if buying used. I don't own a wheeler. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can chime in.

I think the glaciers have a much better "fit and finish" than the ice castles and grey wolfs. The RV glaciers also come standard with both fresh water and black water tanks, while most of the other brand RV versions have a single tank. I wouldn't buy any of them without hydraulics.
