    I sold mine and bought a 27’ coach house built like chinook but missed the smaller design, so I bought a 71 18 on Chevy g30 now restoring it and can’t wait to get her done

    I’ve been fixing my new 2024 Chinook TB for over a year now and I’m tired. I just found out that the the Girard awning controller box installed in the rear cabinet is full of water from a roof leak running down the wire into the rear cabinet it was installed in. Then I found out that.Girard has been out of business for a while and no longer has replacement parts available.

      I own one and love it! If you shop around you can find a low mile unit in amazing condition.

    I have a Bigfoot truck camper and will be transitioning to a Class B RV. Fiberglass RV owners know the advantages and benefits of the construction. I'd never buy a Lance, Thor etc. Happy camping and safe travels ya'll 🏕🏖🏜🏝🏞

    Our parents had an old Dodge chassis Chinook they drove from San Diego to British Columbia the year of Seattle World's Fair. It had a fold down sink like an old railway compartment. It was still running when a drunk ran into the rear and totalled it.

    The water fill and flush hoses are leaking on the ground at my camp sites when I’m hooked up at campsites. To fix it I need to cut the window glue attaching it to the side of the van that they cut a hole in to glue it to.

    Are parts still available and are mechanics able to work on them still? I’d be very interested in picking up a 2005; however, I’m not mechanically inclined.

    Wait, I thought this brand was dead. It was around in the early 2000s and suddenly, POOF! Gone without a trace. Nothing. Couldn't find even a scrap of information about it online no matter where I looked. Did someone buy the brand and shut down the production line for a while? They were gone for soooo long that I even forgot the name! What was going on the last twenty years??

      @@ThePlains267 sorry it doesn't have enough interior shots for you but it's not AI. It's video I shot along with the old commercials and stills from the Chinook company.
