Ice Castle

[jake57]

First off if you're thinking of getting an Ice Castle you better trade up to a full size pickup to safely tow cause those SOBs are heavy

Most people I see pulling castles have little trucks or utvs some wheelers evan I've never heard anything about them being heavy or pull hard

I think he’s talking highway towing.

So they are easier to pull on the ice then on the highway interesting

I have a 25ft. 5th wheel camper and a 16ft. Ice Castle, the camper tows way easier. You know when the Castle is behind you

Maybe dual axle vs. Single, makes a world of difference.

I have heard towing around a Castle on the lake with a unit with an air conditioner on the roof isn't ideal either, if towing thru snow.

I have never looked to see how they are mounted on there but I would certainly think bouncing up and down the lake would certainly either loosen things up or disturb the silicone sealant and make it prone to leaking eventually.

Your camper pulls better because it's a fifth wheel the weight is over the axle of course you feel the bumper pull it's on your bumper.. don't get me started on weight per axle that is a dumb comparison sorry not saying your dumb but it's just apples and oranges

If you need something bigger then a half ton to pull an ice house it probably shouldnt be an ice house
