Rare Blazer Chalet Spotting

...Seen near Richmond Va was this classic Blazer Chalet. Looked to be in great shape. I know it's not a TC but what is it?

Got sent to this thread via a Google Alerts thing I set up years ago. Been quite a while since I logged into this site.

I used to own Chalet #1747, and I am the current administrator of the blazerchalet.com web site, but nearly all of the content was put there by the prior site owner.

Chalets (and the GMC Jimmy Casa Grande) are more of what I'd term a mini-motorhome. GM and Chinook really didn't engineer these to be removable campers. They can be, but are weak in the front and tend to collapse forward without bracing to hold up the front.

The one in your road pic is not one I'm familiar with, so thanks for the photo! Looks like the camper unit has been repainted and possibly it is on a non-original Blazer. I try to track every one out there, and I can pretty much distinguish around 360 of the 1780 made, but keeping track of the owners and random sellers out there is like herding cats.
