DHave 2010 1865XL, tows very well with 5.7 hemi,very easy to place and back up, nice lay out for the limited space, Noted leak after towing in heavy rain - had to seal front underneath and change hatch seals, noted small leak (fresh water)from toilet, difficult to use small shower without spillage (Modified with better curtain and sealling), limited access to warranty dealships in Western Canada, Good value for the dollar, takes about 30 minutes to totally set up at site, A FAR SIGHT better than Wanderer Trailers (Who don't back thier warranty.)
Fam of 4 BCWe also have a 2007 Takena 1860. We noticed an odd stipple on the front interior walls right away but got no where calling the factory. Sadly we did not push as hard as we should have as the stippling is much worse and we have exterior evidence of delamination. We are now looking at getting it fixed on our own dime which seems wrong as it appears to be a factory defect.
marciaWe have a 2008 LTW and have NEVER been able to get the awning up. Is there a trick we don't know??? It just doesn't seem to fit?? Does anyone have any tips? thank you!
Judy We're interested in buying a used Chalet Arrowhead, Alpine or LTW. We live on Vancouver Island and are willing to travel to the rest of B.C. or Alberta. Email: jcwahn at gmail.com - 2/3/2011
Steven H.Interested in BUYING a used CHALET ALPINE (2004 model or after) that includes heat, AC and that will sleep 3-4. Can travel from NC along the East Coast or west to GA, TN for pick up. Email: SteveHutson2@gmail.com or call: 919-815-2419. Thanks - 1/26/2011
2Eagles~~SoaringWe are now going on 5 years with our Chalet XL1930, since our last posting we almost ended up with a 25 foot Air Stream. But after looking at the extra large hitch and stabalizer needed and the price of storage, not to mention the 2 miles per gallon less we would be getting, we decided to keep our Chalet XL1930. Our relatives with box trailers tell us we made the right choice, since we go camping twice as much as they do and most of our outings are 3 days to 2 weeks. The Chalet makes those quick last minute get aways possible since it is in our garage nice and clean, charged up and ready to go at all times. We can even open it up just enough to open the door and load the fridge a day before we leave. Maintenace is just packing the wheel bearings on two wheels once a year. And new batteries at 4-5 years. 2Eagles~~Soaring
K. OliverI have a 2010 Mercury Mariner, 4 cylinder, auto 6 speed trans. Does anyone have experience in towing a Chalet Arrowhead with similar vehicle? Especially on hills/mountain passes. Manufacturer recommends maximum towing cap. as 1500 lbs. The Arrowhead is 1380 dry weight, but would be more after loaded.
Bush AlaskaHave a 2009 Takena 1860, pulling it with a 2007 Toyota Tacoma V6 w/6000lb tow package & Equil-i-zer 6000lb anti-sway, weight distribution hitch. Truck alone avgs 21mpg hwy, pulling trailer avgs 13.5 hwy. Have made 3 trips on Alcan and one cross country in Lower 48. Trailer pulls easily with no sway even in heavy crosswinds. No mechanical problems. Front window leakage first year caused mold in front panel & ruined mattress. Factory replaced entire front panel & mattress, and resealed everything at no cost. Very nice and cooperative people at the Chalet factory in Albany, OR. Trailer is very comfortable and the Equil-i-zer hitch distributes weight to the truck's front tires resulting in "no squat". This is all the trailer we'll ever need, and we have enjoyed it very much.
AndyWas real impressed with the new 2011 bigger model. Right up to the point where I saw the water intake air vent uncovered and exposed to the outside. My water would be mud with the roads I go down.
thHave owned a Chalet XL for two years. Love it! The bump up provides extra room. Pulls nicely; sets up quickly.
