Charleen and Chuck Martin of Roseburg, Ore., and their yellow lab, Iceman, travel for fun in their 2003 16-foot Chalet Arrowhead folding trailer.
The longtime campers love their smartly designed A-frame pop-up travel trailer. “I don’t even know it is back there,” says Chuck. “it tows like a dream.”
Chalet RV (out of Albany, Ore.) offers a variety of models and floorplans starting with the LTW — 13′ long, 78″ wide with a dry weight of 1,139 and load capacity of 861 pounds.
The more posh, longer (18′ 9″), wider (82″) and heavier (dry weight 2,020 pounds with a load capacity of 1,480 pounds) XL Series features a wet bath with a shower, 11.5K BTU air conditioner with an included heat pump, outside grill and many other amenities.
All the models fold down under tow and set up in “30 seconds.”

True these trailers open up in less than a minute, even the large XL series as we own. Towing them is a dream. We have the XL1930 with the electric lift and simply love it.
We also carry a 12 ft portabote on our pickup truck with shell. So in just a matter of minutes we have both our folding Chalet and boat with canopy and 6 hp motor set up.
