Keith and I put her together last night. That didn't take too long, and it rides nice in the F150 receiver. I'll have a review posted in the Articles section after we use the Frabill Arctic Caboose for a few days this weekend! Watch for pictures of the unit in use at www.icefishingfirst.com.

Looks pretty cool Steve. Be sure that travel top fits tight. I'd hate to see it PUFF UP and take off on ya. I think I'd fallow up with a safety Bungee or two, just in case. Stopping on the freeway or loosing someting while going 70 MPH is always on my mind. But it seems nice, as it would still allow you to haul a 4 wheeler in the truck bed with pleanty of room to spare, along with auger and gear with no need for a trailer. I'm assuming the shanty has fold out skies?

Hmmm... Maybe there's an optional keg system.

We hit Thunder tonight, catching about 100 gills, mostly small. We kept enough for Venison and Gills ( surf and turf) and tossed the rest, including a nice Pike Keith got, back into the pond.

This thing is cool.

The Caboose is easy to deploy, easy to pack up, and COMFORTABLE! It has a flat shelf to the rear of the seats for 'stuff', LOTS of room for two anglers, and with the removable windows makes for a perfect shack for jigging while watching tip ups.
