(90's) Tioga 23P series - floorplan question
Good morning! I've been doing a lot of research lately, and was wondering if anyone could help me on a particular question. I recently stumbled on a 1990 Tioga 23P class C. I love the floor plan...

The rear lounge was still pretty common for C motorhomes in the 80s and 90s, and you can still get it new from LazyDaze. So if you are looking in that age range, and that size, you should find the floor plan in surviving examples of most brands.
I think you will find the lounge in back on some of the earliest Cs in the 70s, as chassis were still rated fairly lightly, so that heavy stuff like baths, fresh water and waste tanks, appliances had to go forward of the rear axle for balance, leaving the rear overhang for lighter weight seating.
The floorplan started disappearing from longer Cs when availability of heavier chassis allowed larger Cs to move the lounge forward, kitchen and bath over or just behind the rear axle, and a (presumed to be unoccupied while moving) bedroom in the rear overhang.
