According to this web site (photo below copied from it), you ain't kidding! All the more reason for me to make it a definite hike next week sometime!

Headed that way next week, it'll be my 7th year in a row to go on jeep tours with my SOA friends (nope, still don't have my Chalet fixed to avoid its long-cruise annoyances). Last year I drove my low-riding VW to the end of the smooth part of the Arrastra Gulch road and hiked the rest of the...

When I re-titled my post #1 in the "Chalet on Craigslist" thread, I forgot that I can't alter the heading everybody sees in the main forum pages, so I might as well create a new one to pile all of the eBay listings into. In reference to the #0661 Chalet I mentioned here, time for round #2. Its...

I'll gladly lose a race to anyone for finding these. That just means there are more eyes out there looking for 'em, I've missed several that other eagle-eyed spotters found. I thought I had this one somewhere in a thread here from a couple of years ago. The new owners tell me they are...

Bachelor dessert disaster decades ago: put a pan of brownie mix in the oven to bake, went outside and forgot all about it. It didn't burn, all the moisture just got baked out of it. A giant brownie brick that was impossible to cut. It was still edible, though, when I bashed out the amount I...

I have my bias, of course. Fails on the primitive indoor shower, though. Two photos from members of our Yahoo Chalet forum. 46 of 'em for sale around the country, two in the Seattle area.

Camo turns heads, yeah, but is a real laugh when you drive the gull-wing out to the woods to go on a hike, and you can't find it when you get back. I hate it when that happens.

Still having fun dredging up more for this thread. I've seen this one in a couple of image searches, but now here's a little story about it from this LA Times article: A "camperized" 1946 Mercury Marmon-Herrington Woody Current owner Dave Holmes of Santa Monica - His Woody was first owned by...

If we aren't there yet, we must be getting close to the point where a big enough screen (7-8 inches) can be used predominantly as a 'rear view mirror', but be switched to a GPS screen at the touch of a button - or be a split screen - and then be used as a video monitor when parked. Bugged the...

I changed the thread title to include eBay listings, so I can throw all my finds in this one spot. The latest today in a Boise Idaho eBay listing, it's been cleaned up quite a bit since I last spotted it in 2007. Serial # 0661 built 8/76 And to add one from the opposite extreme, from a...

Whack!xxxxxxxxx um, dunno. Too much?

Speaking of boats & wood wagons... well, canoes perhaps. How 'bout a 1931 Ford Woody Camper? Scroll down to the last photo at this link, it says it has a fold down bed, ice box, water tank and "bbq grill with a Ford insignia." Try a Marmon-Herrington vintage 4x4 conversion, and you'd have a...

Not mine, no affiliation - entertaining vehicle, though. $4400, in a Phoenix area Craigslist ad, also duplicated text with lots o' pics in this Flickr page for when the Craigslist one expires. The fan shroud is made out of license plates?

Blast from the past that originally appeared in the March '78 Popular Mechanics magazine. Reprinted plans available at the RQ Riley link here. Not into such tent campers myself, so I may have missed it, but I don't think I've seen this style of tent truck/van here....

Depending on the amount of effort you put into it, some 'fleetsides' might be halfway easy to build.... The rest of the thread at that site is about a guy's build-up of a Bronco II matching trailer.

Edmunds could clarify that a bit by calling the article "Under 10 grand, above 5 grand". They put Miata, Mustang & Subaru in their previous "Under $5,000 Top 10" article. That narrows the situation somewhat.

Hmm. Chalets are sorta in the gray area of class B & class C?. Too small to be a class C, but not exactly a class B 'van' RV either. Remember, these aren't slide-ins, they are permenently bolted down and have the wide open pass-through from the cab. One of our Yahoo forum members actively uses...

It's going to be tough to give up that marvelous garage. Break loose the bolts for the rear bumper extension while you're at it, if you still want to swap for my custom solid steel bumper with the receiver. Man, if the Phoenix housing market hadn't gone crazy, I could be fixing my own Chalet in...

Continuing on sort of the same general theme - from this site, where the red Power Wagon woodie is also seen.

One in Little Rock (Benton) Arkansas, $4500, thanks to the seller for sharing its numbers, Serial #418, built 7/76. **6/20/09 Edits: Sold on eBay for $4,075 June 1 ** And a shell-only in Columbus (Baltimore) Ohio for $575, serial #1117, built 10/76. **Sold to a new member of our Yahoo forum...
