Default Fish trailer Wrap done! What do you think?

We did it finally! Let me know what you think. Good, bad, should have left it alone. We still have to paint the window brown but for the most part, its done. included a pre wrap picture.

Looks like a great deal of effort & some cash went into your project ... can't quite figure out what material you used for the wrap & what was the budget ?

Just wondering ...

Zip ....

That looks great!!

Those trailers are AWESOME!! I would worry about the sofa and beds getting all "fishy" though.

It is pretty sweet.

Looks like you did a good job with the wrap. But just not the pattern I would have chosen.

Me. I like it. But then I'm one of those guys who brings down the cost of houses in the neighbourhood

It would be a getaway from the wife for sure.......she wouldn't be seen going in or coming out of it............or being towed behind us, or in our driveway.

Bottom line. "I" like it

I'm absolutely jealous. That's the sweetest redneck trailer I've seen in a while. Congrats on an awesome customs job.

The material used is the same stuff you see on telus vans or other vehicles. its vehicle graphics vinyl. we took a picture of an old barn and it was used for the main print. we then had the graphics co. take our logo and age it to suite the trailer. landon graphics of edmonton did it all.
the trailer uses electric jacks to lift and lower. It's a salem ice cabin built by forest river. I didn't modify it in any way except the wrap.
Yeah, we really hit the "shack in the woods" look. thanks for the comments. I was a little worried about the final product. I'll post some of our inside mods on monday.
nobody sells ice cabins or ice castles around here but there is a guy in sask. and the dealers out of Minnesota all ship out here.
they're not for everyone but our clients and friends have a blast when we head out.if you're thinking of getting one, invest in chains for your truck and skis for the shack.
