2026 Catalina 293QBCK

The Catalina Legacy Edition 293QBCK is the line’s take on the quad-bunk floorplan, and its defining feature is a private rear bunk room. Two double-size bunks plus a bunk-room jackknife sofa let the room sleep five or more, and it closes off behind a solid slider door with its own wardrobe and dresser — real privacy for kids or guests rather than open corner bunks. Up front, an extra-large U-shaped dinette on the slide provides the main seating and an extra berth, an SLS sit-lounge-sleep sofa adds another, and a front master rounds out the sleeping. Nominal capacity is six, with the bunk room carrying the larger share.

At 7,264 pounds unloaded and 33 feet 8 inches, the 293QBCK is a comfortable half-ton tow with about 2,000 pounds of cargo capacity — one of the more generous payloads in the Legacy range, and welcome on a coach built to haul a full family’s gear. A standard outside camp kitchen with a mini refrigerator, a pull-out griddle cooktop, a storage cabinet and a sprayer hose moves the cooking outdoors. Standard equipment is the line’s GE 10.7-cubic-foot 12V refrigerator, 60,000-BTU tankless water heater, GE 13,500-BTU heat-pump air conditioner, 35,000-BTU furnace and residential in-floor ducted heat, under an 18-foot power awning; a 50-amp upgrade with a second air conditioner is optional.

Construction is the line’s metal-sided value build — a Norco powder-coated steel I-beam frame with full-length outriggers, a Platinum .024-inch aluminum exterior with a smooth radius front, a seamless Alpha roof membrane and an enclosed, fully sealed corrugated underbelly — with solid-surface kitchen counters, upgraded aluminum wheels, a porcelain toilet, JBL Aura audio and a 600-watt solar prep. For a family that wants a genuinely private bunk room and a real outside kitchen at a half-ton weight, the 293QBCK is the value quad-bunk pick in the Legacy tier.

Coachmen's Catalina is one of the highest-volume value travel-trailer nameplates in North America, spanning several sub-lines: the lighter Summit Series 7, the mainstream Summit Series 8, the full-feature Legacy Edition, the Trail Blazer toy haulers and the Destination park trailers. The 293QBCK on this page is highlighted; the other profiled plans link to their own pages. Profiled here are breadth-spanning Summit 8 and Legacy Edition floorplans — the rest of the roster is catalogued on the line hub and profiled in demand order.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 38-gallon fresh tank is roughly 16% of the 2,000-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 293QBCK with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 834 pounds is 11% of the 7,264-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 9,264-pound GVWR the 293QBCK is towing 2,000 pounds more than its 7,264-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 38 gallons of fresh against 42 grey and 28 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 293QBCK sits 12 of 20 in the Coachmen Catalina line: 9,264 pounds against a line that runs from 6,518 to 11,458 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Coachmen Catalina 263BHSCK is 144 pounds lighter at 9,120 lb GVWR; and Coachmen Catalina 273DBHCK is 84 pounds heavier at 9,348 lb GVWR.

Against the 293QBCK: the Puma 310RK is 1 lb lighter and 2 ft longer and sleeps 2 fewer; the Delta 294RK is 14 lb lighter and sleeps 2 fewer; the Airelume 285 is 31 lb lighter and 3 ft longer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Coachmen Catalina floorplans profiled here run 4,647 to 9,130 pounds dry and 26 to 38 feet of exterior length across 20 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Coachmen Catalina line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 293QBCK. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: interior height, tire specification. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (95%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
