Re: Chinooks seen on the road

After reading this post, it got me kind of curious...Does anyone have any actual production numbers of how many Chinooks were built each year? Realize it's a shot in the dark but I'm interested... **********(Everything which follows is in response to the above quote and not a part of that quote, bu...

Re: New Member ( Looking for Info )

Welcome Stephen, that's one heck of a unique rig. I found this one for sale on Craigslist in Michigan: https://thumb.craigslist.org/rvs/d/1978-dodge-chinook-futura/6751126772.html It's the same year, model and color as yours and the owner stated that they were made for 2 years...1977 and 1978. One o...

Re: We sold the house and hitting the road

Enjoy hearing about your trip and checking out the beautiful pictures...just one thing...is there something I can do to rotate the pictures to a normal view? Or is that something you would have to do? Or did you mention that somewhere in your story? I'm starting to get a kink in my neck from looking...

Re: Diesel conversion

Rather than converting from gas to diesel, would it be wiser (less hassle, less expense) to just buy a diesel? I realize they are rare, but as it happens, I have been monitoring a 2001 Concourse diesel near Phoenix on Craigslist for the last couple of weeks. I did inquire by email today whether it i...

Re: No Start - Fuel Pump Failure

"I saved some by dropping the driveshaft myself to prepare the Chinook for towing on it's rear axel". (Sorry, haven't figured out cut and paste yet). But I have a couple of questions: 1)Does the driveshaft have to be dropped any time the vehicle is towed on the rear axel? 2) Can the vehicl...

Re: Compare Concourse and Premier, Pre '97 and Post '97

Great info. And just when I thought all my questions had been answered. I checked out Shoppok - looks like an excellent resource. And always good to be reminded of effective buying technique.
All served with a bit of mysterious universal karma...yes...

Re: Compare Concourse and Premier, Pre '97 and Post '97

Wow. All my questions answered, and then some. Even some philosophical advice. Minimalism, yes! Patience, yes! I appreciate all your replies and found each helpful. I think I'll continue to focus on the newer models as my current living situation doesn't allow for making many repairs or upgrades, bu...

Compare Concourse and Premier, Pre '97 and Post '97

Hi all, I'm looking to becoming a full-time livaboard in the LA area by the end of January '17. I've done a lot of reading and research on this site and it has been invaluable, but I still have a few questions. I had my heart set on a 1997-2004 Concourse with the club lounge but as might be expected...
