What C's have 25' widebody plans like this?

[xxjanaleexx]

I really would love to buy the '96 240WB Coachmen Catalina I just found for sale BUT have to sell my present tt first (disabling pain for me and dementia for DH makes hitching a huge project)..so,figuring it will be gone (my usual:) luck!)I would like to know what other manu's make that floorplan.It looks to be about perfect for us..it actually measures 25'.And I need the WideBody model as we will use the dinette for a bed for DH leaving it up all the time while camping. When I actually get to buy one,it would be easier for me to have more than one manu to search thru. Thanks! Janalee

I am still searching for a 24 footer...don't need the extra storage space..but they seem to have all disappeared..! I don't actually NEED one for this fast-disappearing season, but prices are better in the Fall.

There is a Jamboree/Tioga that has the floor plan as you describe and it is the same as the coachman in the pictures that I have seen. It is the Jamboree/Tioga 26Q.

It was made from 2002 to 2007 it is a wide body. You might look for one of those, I have one and it works out great with the rear bed.


Here is what it looks like

+1 on the 26Q. We have the Tioga. Great floor plan for us also. Huge cargo area, and the length is easy to handle. Fits in a pull through parking space. Looked at similar 25'/24' but much smaller cargo area and the beds were sandwiched in a corner between two walls. The 26Q has a roomy queen bedroom and lots of storage space. ours is 26'8".

Boy Ichabod..that is close..but I am looking at a 24'...and the difference in length is it has a split bath. Thanks though!

240 model number from Coachmen in that era might have had actual bumper to bumper length of 25 to 27 feet. When I was shopping their Mirada models, a 29-something was almost 34 feet, longer than the 32-foot long 30RQ I was considering as an alternative.

Don't expect numbers in model names to be physical specifications. Or if a length, might be cab to rear bumper, or nose of cab-over to rear wall. If actual length is critical, you had best measure it.

Also in a C, same model on a Chevy Express will usually be 20" or so longer than the one built on E-series, until Ford stretched the nose of the E-series.

I found that model for sale on RV Trader in Idaho. There should be another when you are ready to buy.

Don't need the loan-just the nerves to have two units sitting here over the Winter,with hopes of selling in the Spring! Never bothered me before (I have had 19 campers in 28 yrs...) Must be a 73 yr.old affliction! Right now I would like to do the research on finding that floorplan in another brand in case this falls thru...???

We have a Coachmen Leprechaun from late 90's--- the 'wide body' is 8'6 wide instead of 8'. I have seen other brands that had the wider coaches. We are very happy with the Coachmen and very impressed with the storage-- alot more than others we looked at.
If this coach is that great of a deal ---- triple check for leaks (in cab-over and around windows)-- maybe your bank/CU can help w/ a bridge loan until you are able t sell the TT?

Just me in it..DH on dinette bed..yes,I know it's hard to make the bed,but most of them are anyway!I will just sleep on top and curl up in a comforter!Lol!That is,if the stars all align right and I sell my Sunline tt and that mh is still for sale. I still don't see any other manufacturers with that floorplan of the Catalina 240wb.

Still kind of a corner bed, but the bed goes lengthwise along the back wall instead against the side wall. If its just you, then ok, but would be a pain in the but for whoever sleeps against the wall getting in and out. Making the bed would be a pain also. Bad enough in walk around rv's with the nightstands....

Sorry..I should have described it. This model has a bed across the rear wall w wardrobe at the right rear corner (drivers side being right side),shower on right, toilet and sink on left of hall,fridge and dinette on right,kitchen on left..swivel chair behind passenger (usual place!) This is not the usual corner bed since it extends "sideways" giving me better access. And pricewise,it seems I have to stay in the 1990's.
