The Ice Castle Fish House

Prologue:
'Only In America' is more than a phrase, it is a mantra, a creed, a way of life,
So when you have internalised the philosophy one is always prepared to have your jaw dropped and enjoy whatever turns up.
So, after traveling in the States for nine years we encountered not one, but many of these trailers:

It is a strange looking trailer, because it sits directly onto the ground. Our view here shows it partly lifted, as it was just leaving. 

They are quite popular around here. You can tow them like a trailer, but when you arrive you raise the wheels and the trailer sits flat onto the ground.

However it's primary function is to have it towed out and set up onto a frozen lake. In the floor of the trailer are six large frisbee sized holes, through which you can access the ice, drill a hole and then fish, without going outside at all. We found this an amazing site on our nice green and warm campground, at first we thought it was for disabled people. I actually had to look up the make of the trailer to find out what is was. 

Of course as soon as you see it in context it becomes obvious.

Here it is in a sales brochure:It is called an Ice Castle Fish house.This is the real luxury end of the fish house market, but very popular.
