There are the 4Wheel campers made for Blazers and Broncos that allow wide open pass-through. Here's a link with a bunch of photos http://www.pbase.com/shellyandjim_pics/1980_chevy_blazer&page=3 photo below is from that site. For a Bronco version, refer to this thread, the craigslist ad link...
Last night I printed out a 1979 Treasure Search magazine article which had a glowing review of the old Recair evap coolers - click on the last page in this link for the part about "Evaporative Coolers": http://brochures.slosh.com/frame.shtml?chalet/treasuresearch
The people in this site...
Dave,
Little car, long bed. In case you don't need all that cubic feet out back, the photo below shows what a GTI version would look like. This was a Revell 1/32 model kit I cut up about 20 years ago.
Maybe by this July I can have all the unreliable bits replaced in my Chalet so I can take it...
Call me an evil speculator, scroll down to Lot #312 in this auctions page for a '76 Chalet with what seems to be a mild lift kit (or maybe those tires make it look extra tall) but is otherwise stock: http://www.raleighclassic.com/new/results.php
Considering what I saw at the recent...
Oh, good. Jim, the seller, has been trying to sell his for a while. I emailed him yesterday about the successful sale of the one in this thread http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10556 and about the sale of this one http://austin.craigslist.org/car/552357077.html so that news...
Yow!! More like 1 of 225-ish, it's a GMC Jimmy Casa Grande http://www.tocmp.com/brochures/GMTrucks/1976/pages/1976%20GMC%20Jimmy%20Casa%20Grande-01_jpg.htm , much more rare than the Chevy Blazer Chalet. I'll have to ask Aaron S, the founder of the blazerchalet.com web site, where he got the...
The ad's text, for when the craigslist link expires:
1981 Ford Bronco 4x4 w/ Four Wheel pop up camper. Truck has a 300ci inline 6 motor, runs strong. 4 speed manual tranny, needs clutch. I have a brand new duralast clutch it just needs to be installed. I will install it for $300. Truck is in...
(copied from one of my other older unrelated posts here): A vehicle modified at the request of VW by Steyr Daimler Puch before they changed to doing military-only work ( http://www.steyr-ssf.com/ ), more fun info here: http://p3racing.net/vw/country.html I'd like to have one, problem with these...
Eugene,
No doubt good advice, tho' maybe the next gen version after '96 improved. Or not. And the practical right side of my brain says there isn't likely to be many who are modding those Caravans / Voyagers. Meanwhile a random quick google search immediately turned up this site (pic below)...
Yep, I knew that, my parents owned a 2wd and now my brother in Johnstown PA has it - pic below. They are very nice, a bit pricey when they are in really good shape. Rather spongy ride, although that's probably due to the terrible tires it originally came with. I've seen various customized...
My daily driver / camping vehicle for the past 13 years has been a VW hatchback. Naturally, the one teensy little irritant about my Chalet is that it is so........ wide. I continually overestimate where the passenger side is. And there's acres of hood to look across, so much that I can't see the...
Total ignorance on my part for this subject matter - I was google searching various 4x4 camper word variations (for whatever info I can find on Blazer Chalets), and just ran across this craigslist ad. http://capecod.craigslist.org/rvs/463449364.html
Must be a home made conversion, right...
One of the guys at our Chalet owners' forum owns the one in the Hemmings ad, photo below. Link here http://www.protrucks.biz/beforeafter.htm for before & after shots of that one and other custom trucks.
And, for those of you who want to go to a live auction for a somewhat lower Chalet, check...
Welcome, what is your Chalet's serial number? I surfed across your photo in a different forum months ago during one of my numerous google searches for these mangy old campers, but there was no way for me to leave a message for you. Please consider joining our Chalet owners' forum...
I'm jealous. Opposite extreme here, 31 year old Raleigh 5 speed on a generic Thule partially held onto the car with clear packaging tape. Nevertheless, the objective is to get out of town to go camping & biking!
Man! Throw another one on the pile - Boise Craigslist:

Hoser,
Thanks for spotting the sfbay craigslist one, the seller had been renewing his ad occasionally and I hadn't seen the new link yet - and now, he's put it on eBay with lots more pics...
How about this latest eBay listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130162740162 One of the cleanest ones I've seen, says it's a "top to bottom" restoration......
