I like this camper - Chalet Takena

I know this is a bit off topic, but look at the windows on the Aliner doors.  Are they double-hung? Do you think they would fit the pod door? It would be nice to have airflow on that side of the pod.

Just to avoid completely confusing every, the Aliner is another company that makes A-frame style campers and is not related to Chalet mentioned in this thread.

We originally looked at hard-sided pop-ups, A-frame and decided we liked the T@B.  Then instead of bringing in the newer (and bigger) designs from Germany, they discontinued the entire line!    We were hoping they'd import their high-end model T@B L400.  A German friend of mine sent us the link and we fell in love with that large sunroof.  It can open and has built-in track netting and blackout shade in the frame. <drool>

Just around that time, the r-pod was introduced and so we went for it   

We had a 1930 (one of the larger Chalets). We purchased it new, and it wasn't cheap. We had hoped to keep it for a long time, but the bubble roof windows warped around the edges and leaked profusely, as did the roof vent. The frame rails rusted worse and more quickly than any other trailer we had owned (2 Skylines, and an Arctic Fox). The  cabinets were very poorly constructed. After 5 years of ownership I was spending more time with maintenence than camping. I know lots of people love their Chalets, but I'm not one of them. It did tow nicely and I got good mileage compared to the Pod @ 12-15 mpg compared to the Pod standard 10-12 mpg.

 

The Arctic Fox and our current RP 175 are much easier to live with. RVing is supposed to be fun, and it wasn't for us with the Chalet. The low end Skylines (Aljo and Layton) were even better built at much lower prices.  

Originally we had planned to sleep in the bunks and leave the dinette up, but the dog wouldn't settle down and played musical beds throughout the night.  So we ended up extending the dinette so we could both squish in with the dog.
