I saw that one on ebay and was trying to figure out what the heck it was. I thought maybe it was some sort of conversion, but it's definitely more cool being a factory job.

That's a pretty good deal...though it would be alot more useful if you could just take the camper off. What the hell was GM thinking?

Exactly. Wouldn't the vehicle be alot more useful if you could go camping in it, then when you get home drop off the camper and drive around town like a normal Jimmy? That's probably why they didn't sell very many of them...

Actually they didn't sell many of them partly because they had to stop producing them because of government regulations reguarding the GVW on them. Also, the 13K average price on a new one didn't help either.

It's a shame because I found Chalet #198, tried to buy it and they wouldn't sell, then they just junked it I did get the glovebox ID sheet and the Chinook tag from the camper.
