How can you tell?

I live in Dayton, so I could check it out if anybody is interested.

If it is a real Chalet, I may check it out anyway. Just because.

Allow me to backtrack a step. The Blazer may very well be a Chalet but the camper portion is not.

The Chalet campers are more flush with the widshield; they follow the angle of the windshiled too. This one overhangs.

Also, the Chalet camper overhangs quite a bit off the back of the truck. They even have a second set of tail-lights because they cover the stock ones. This one looks to be flush with the rear of the truck.


I have seen a few of these pop-top campers made specifially for a Blazer body and would like to find one locally. So instead of destroying an original (even though it would be rusted beyond reasonable repair) to put it on a more "modern" Blazer you could just drop it in.
Which reminds me, with a Chalet it is a dedicated RV, the camper is not made to be removed. With an after market camper like this you could take the camper out and still have a Blazer. Would be great for camping to be able to have a vehicle to move about in with out having to take the whole campste with you.

Yep, my guess is it's either an aftermarket 4Wheel brand or Hallmark brand camper. If the RPO sheet in the Blazer's glovebox shows a "16T5 Chalet Camper Conver", then it had the factory camper to begin with, but more than likely it's just an ordinary Blazer.
