1990 Terry Taurus with twin beds

[RVCinderella]

I'm looking at a 1990 Terry Taurus with twin beds, has a front kitchen. I'm having a terrible time finding spec information: i.e. model number, etc.
If anyone has any information or has an opinion on this trailer, I would be most appreciative!

It’s THIRTY years old.

:R

Any case, every single supposed "bad" workmanship and or construction issues HAS been "worked out".

The only real issue would be how well the current owner has taken care of it, not something a "Internet keyboard jockey" can assess..

I sure am glad I use and depend on my own mind and senses to decide what RV (or anything else)to buy.. If I would have depended on this forum for "help" I would have never bought a RV do to being scared away from it from other folks "opinions" of what a good brand or layout is.

I had a 1988 Terry, it had a sheet aluminum roof. The only leaks I encountered were from the marker lights, I removed them, cleaned out the old putty, reinstalled them using plumbers putty and they never leaked again.

These units are heavy, mine was a 29R and it was 6000 pounds loaded with everything but water.

I'll give you a possibility, I had an 87 Prowler Lynx 22H. Twin beds at back, side kitchen with front dinette. If I remember right the GVWR was just under 3600lbs. It had more info on a stick on sheet on the inside of one of the doors under the sink, tire size, tongue weight, etc. I don't know if your states registration papers show the GVWR on it or not. How about right next to the outside door, they often have a model number listed there.

Does the model really matter?

Do you like this trailer you are looking at? That IS what matters.

Why do you care to know "others" opinions about this trailer, YOUR opinion is the only one that really matters. What one person may like or not like may not be the same for you, it is your money, buy what YOU like, not what "others" like!

It is 10 yrs old, most if not all the "bad" things most likely has been worked out with the exception of water leaks and damage from weather.. Those are consistently the same across ALL RV "products" and more an issue of how the previous owners have done the maintenance to prevent roof and window leaks.

Length? Just take a long ruler and measure it.

Weight specs?

Look for the VIN number tag which should be one on the trailer tongue or driver side front side wall or if none of those places, try inside the upper kitchen cabinets.

Vin number tag should contain the GVWR, tire sizes, ect.

You do not need to know the dry weight as that is pretty much a bogus number, RV brochure dry weights tend to be less than the actual production weight.

GVWR weight is pretty much spot on accurate as in that is the max allowable weight of the trailer, you can figure out what the max tongue weight will be using the GVWR.

Example, say trailer's GVWR is 7,000 lbs, multiply that by .15 (15%) and you get a max tongue weight of 1050 lbs!

Side note, tongue weight should be between 10% to 15% of the trailer weight, I would rather error on the 15% side because it is where you will find the maximum towing stability is.

Use a measuring tape and measure the cabin length and then the bumper to coupler separately. Then post the measurements here along with pictures of exterior and interior.
