1999 Chinook

Concourse XL Built to Last

The 1999 Chinook Concourse XL was built on a Ford E350 cutaway chassis with a Triton V10 under the hood. Back in the day, this 21-foot Class B+ was marketed as “The Sports Car of Motorhomes.” One Chinook was even modified to set a land speed record on the Bonneville salt flats. Incidentally, Chinook closed its doors in 2005, but has since restarted under new management.

A big reason Chinooks remain desirable is their one-piece fiberglass shell. Water is a major enemy of RVs (more on that below). However, there are no seams between the Chinook’s roof and outer walls — imagine an upside-down fiberglass boat. This means there are fewer opportunities for leaks to develop, relative to conventionally-built RVs. Of course, the roof has openings for two fans, the A/C, the Winegard antenna, etc., while the sides have window and door openings. But overall, the fiberglass structure is stable, sleek, and solid. A modern comparison would be to a Leisure travel Van or a Coach House RV.

The interior of the Chinook Concourse XL features oak cabinets, a Corian countertop, fridge, microwave, stove, oven, sink, and wet bath. There’s even a small flat-screen TV and DVD player — top of the line for 1999.

Together, the dinette and sofa convert into a King-size bed that easily slept us and a 50-pound dog if you have one. However, the center aisle disappears in this arrangement, and the bed consumes the entire living area. Incidentally, it took about 10 minutes to put the bed together each night and to convert it back into the sofa and dinette each morning.

The galley is laid out pretty well, though there’s only about a square foot of working counter space. We found ourselves doing a lot of food prep on the dinette table. For cooking, there’s a carousel microwave and a 3-burner gas stove & oven. The vent hood also displays tank and battery levels. Despite the narrow openings, the overhead cabinets do actually hold a lot, especially the deep one over the cab.

This 1999 Chinook Class B+ RV is in excellent condition with low miles and it was a joy to drive, with good acceleration, handling, and braking.
