- Chinook. The name can be traced back to 1938 when a family run business began building small travel trailers. The look changed through the years with modifications, body style, chassis and interior changes.
Through those years Chinook has created a loyal following. Even after production stopped in the mid-2000s. These loyal owners will tell you why.

Nice seeing everyone in the video, stay safe.
The greatest design ever.
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 want a Chinook 😍💕😊
I own one and love it! If you shop around you can find a low mile unit in amazing condition.
oh man, this is awesome
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 🏕🏖🏜🏝🏞
I really like these too
Wow!!
“The sportscar of motorhomes” ✅
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 can't wait to get on the raod too! Anyone selling theirs?
I want like this van🥺
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.
Have a 1979 Chinook motorhome. Dodge van.Great motorhome.
2024 chinook The glued on pleather finish is falling off the plywood boards after less than a year 😢 I keep pressing it back on.
Love ours Amazing 👏 ❤️ 💕
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??
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.
How does it do in cold weather?
