An ice fish house base has at least two skis, each coupled through at least two pivotal arms to an ice house base. The pivotal arms are pivotal between an elevated position and a lowered minimum position. The lowered position is stable when the ice house base comes into solid contact with the ground, thereby limiting maximum rotation in this ice-house-base-lowered position. In the upward position, a rotational pivotal arm stop prevents the pivotal arms from rotating further, so that the separation between ice house base and skis is just less than maximum. The weight of the ice house will also hold the ice house base at this fully rotated position. A quick attach receiver is provided for a bifurcated ice auger mount and several alternative accessory supports. In addition, several alternative trailer hitch couplers are disclosed that use a tensioning strap for securement.
