DaveYes, Chalet is a low volume manufacturer, in response to another comment. I used to live practically around the corner from the factory in Albany up until a year ago, and had a friend that worked there for awhile. As difficult as he is to please, he said that he was impressed with the product and would recommend them to anyone. The Chalets that I have been in have all been a few years old and still looked as if they rolled out of the factory yesterday. I know they're pricer than some others, but then Toyotas cost more than Yugo's so go figure. I'm trying to find one of these Oregon campers and haven't had much luck, also looking into a Four Wheel camper. To be honest I may go with the Four Wheel since the top can hold 1,000 lbs. and they're a bit easier to find.
jhofwaAm retired and thinking of either the Oregon shortbed truck camper or a larger used Chalet to be pulled with my 08 Tundra CrewMax 4x4. Plan to drive from WA to AK next summer with wife and our two dogs. Air conditioning would be nice on the Chalet, if they are dependable, as I have a son in Las Vegas, NV. Am concerned about being able to sleep in these RV as I'm 6'5" and not slim. Any suggestions would be appreciated - please send to email: jhofwa@gmail.com. Price is a concern so suggestions on used models would also be appreciated. Have never had an RV and my only "camping" was while in the Army... Many thanks. Jim
BerniceI think the Oregon really is cool. Most truck campers look terrible on the back of the truck but the low profile look of this really does change the look and I'm guessing it really improves the ride with reduced wind resistance and drag. Going to check it out thanks for the review.
Jerry OlsonI have a 2005 Chalet Alpine for sale on Craigs List out of Fresno, Ca. Just like new and always garaged. My phone # 559-734-0346 e-mail is jerry102488@sbcglobal.net Jerry Olson
Brown EagleI've owned a Chalet now for 3 years, it still looks like new because I keep it in my garage when not in use. Chalet's customer service has been great, they have even helped me with out of warranty items. I recomend Chalet to anyone looking for an RV trailer that tows and stores easy, allows your tow vehicle great milage. B.E. Chalet XL1930
Kath I can't make my mind up if I should get an Aliner or a Chalet to tow with my Yukon. Think they would both tow OK. Like them both but think that the Chalet is maybe a bit heavier and a bit better quality. The choices available with these pop ups is really good.
Steve HWe have the 2005 Alpine with the front bunk beds option and we use it a lot. It's held up really well even though we've pulled it into some really rough places. The only real problem we had was with the air conditioning but we got that fixed. Our customer service experience is very good. We've also had an aliner but I would recommend the chalet and the bunk bed option was right for us.
Harrylooking for used smaller aliner or chalet, live in idaho if anyone has one w/ in days drive please email jhjeffrey@icehouse.net
CodyWe had a Chalet for 3 years. Now have an Eggcamper. I really miss the Chalet, it was much easier to tow and store. I notice the difference when towing especially when windy and I think I don't get as good mpg. One day I'll go back maybe. Like the XL idea, I haven't seen that model.
Alden PierceThe gross trailer weight would be helpful. I have a vehicle that has a max towing weight of 1750#.
