I'd say hold out for the ultra-rare extra cab shortbed version, Jeep was way ahead of the curve on the concept of "more passengers/tiny bed area"....... - Russell Ps it's not photo chop, it's Photoshop, a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.

My parents had (and my brother now has it) a 2wd Tiger GT, shown below.... I'm assuming Awd Astros didn't look especially taller. I hardly ever see pics of the older Provan Tiger campers on the internet, only current factory Chevy truck versions.

They're all good in that area. Highly recommended in my book is NM 76 from Espanola through Chimayo & Truchas, then on NM 75 a short distance, then NM 518 to Ranchos de Taos. US 64 to Angel Fire & Eagle Nest is so pretty, and continue on to Cimarron for more spectacular scenery and twisty...

Thule 'generic' for various hatchbacks - very light weight & straps onto the hatch. Probably useless for your situation, unless a way could be brainstormed to attach it to your tailgate, ya never know.... As for my own expeditioning, the 3 inches of ground clearance of the ol' GTI here is one...

Now we're getting somewhere, a little baby 4x4 motorhome is what I've always been after. I sorta got stuck on Blazer Chalets myself, so that's the direction I going. Compared to other slide-in poptops, the Chalet has properly placed side windows for good outward visibility when you are sitting...

Carl, Much appreciated, if you do get up that way, ya never know what you might discover by checking it out in depth. Keep your eye out for the GMC Jimmy Casa Grande version, too, only supposedly 225 of those made between '76 and '77. Through a recent internet search, I dredged up a 'vehicle...

Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled for wherever these are. The more people we have looking around for 'em, the better off we are. Were you able to get near the one you spotted back in Oct for a photo? Meanwhile, I didn't get a chance to mention one that popped up briefly in cars.com, one of...

BTW, God uses a Mac. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1565515,00.html (From Time magazine, Dec 11, 2006, pg 103)

Here's an article that sez it all about the "Windows Virus" that has infected every PC since they started making 'em - I like this line especially: "Nothing in the news suggests I need to screw things up by loading a new operating system"...

Aaron S's & Doug W's web site http://www.blazerchalet.com/serials.html says a magazine article stated there were 1780 total 1976 & 1977 Chevy & GMC versions, and I managed to extract an official reply from a GM corporate customer service rep that said there were 1555 '76 & '77 Chalets, so the...

Blah. It needs the top to go straight up & down, and cool retro stripe graphics, and whitewall tires.......... oh wait, that's been done already. Nevermind. http://www.tocmp.com/brochures/GMTrucks/1976/pages/1976%20Chevy%20Blazer%20Chalet-01_jpg.htm

Memories, indeed. I cheated the last several years by hiring these nice folks http://www.soajeep.com/home.html since my VW hatchback won't take me far on such roads, but next summer or the one after, I will be able to prowl around the San Juans to my heart's delight, once I get my "dream...

Folks, Erik & Amy have one EXTREMELY impressive and thorough web site detailiing their Sportsmobile, don't pass it up.

No doubt these are more likely to be bought by the mega-motorhome crowd, where sand bag hold-downs are less than chic. I never set foot in one of those until last spring, my sister is kicking around the idea of one as a permanent mobile retirement residence. Man, three slide out rooms in some of...

The awning hold-downs in this site http://www.allsetrv.com/ probably wouldn't apply to my future awning plans (see post #23 here http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1982&page=3 I'd have a rear mounted small awning where the vertical posts' feet are pinned to the back corners...

Wanderer, Yes indeed, that one is still available, I forget what the price was a few months ago, maybe over $2,000. A while back, another of my fellow Chalet owners forwarded two color photos of it (below), the back view confirmed my Chalet's stripes had been altered. Doug W. & Aaron S.'s...

Cipioxx, PM sent to you with the email address for the guy in Yardley PA - he says he sold the Blazer part but still has the camper. You could put it on your '87 Blazer with some effort. In our Yahoo Autos group forum (free signup, http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ChevyK5BlazerChalets/ )...

Cipioxx, On the assumption you are an eBay member, did you try the "contact member" feature from this page? http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=brookridgefarm I'll try it myself to see if I get a response, he didn't respond to my last inquiry about the curtains. I...

Paste this number into a search window at eBay: 320005161394 It's for a slightly old listing, but the photo links still work... Yardley PA isnt exactly down the street from you, I suppose.... the lister said he planed to part it out, he might still have it it you want the shell to transplant...

Sliding Chalet wishes If one wants to get terribly technical about it, the Chinook part of the shell for the Blazer Chalet (aka Casa Grande for the GMC version), isn't a "slide-in". Over on the blazerchalet.com web site, it's described as a real chore to remove & replace since it was engineered...
