L. J. ColonaI have had my LTW for three summers. I have towed it over 19000 miles with a four cylinder small pickup. What a great trailer. It has been over 12000 ft high and on dirt roads that challanged goats. The only problem has been the bungee cords on the roof, which I reconized as a potential when I bought it.
CarrieI have a 2005 model XL 1910 18 ft that has everything but toilet and A/C for sale in Boise,ID. A breeze to tow with a V6. Gently used by myself and previous owner so is in premier condition. 3 cubic ft 3-way fridge, 16,000 btu furnace, electric lift system for roof, 3 burner stove, 6 gal hot water heater, fan-tastic electric fan in roof vent, outside shower, electric brake system, dual propane tanks, dual batteries, 15 gal potable water tank with pump, queen size bed and dinette that makes into a full size bed. I built in an extra shelf in the cabinet for extra shelf space. 2 locking outside access doors for storage. It is NOT self contained, no toilet/bathroom. NADA books it at $9660.00 and I'm asking $9300.00. I will NOT go any lower on the price, I paid $10,000 for it and I only used it once. I'm selling because I'm unemployed, lost the truck I used to haul it and need the money, it's breaking my heart to have to sell it. Please email me with serious inquiries ONLY to queenofnanas(at)aol.com or call 208-863-2057 8/12/2010
bikingrandmaI got on the most recent Chalet website and they don't make the Oregon expandable truck camper anymore. They also have some new trailers and a huge new camper that does NOT fold down.
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.
