2026 Catalina 293TQBSCK

The Catalina Legacy Edition 293TQBSCK is the line’s private-bunkhouse family coach. The rear bunk room gives kids or guests their own space with queen-size bunk beds, underbed storage and a linen closet for clean clothes, closed off for privacy; the front master holds a walk-around queen with dual wardrobes and quick access to a dual-entry bath. Between them, the combined living and kitchen area opens on a single large slide with a U-shaped dinette and an SLS sofa with drink holders. Nominal sleeping is ten across the bunk room, the master, the dinette and the sofa — one of the highest-capacity Legacy plans — and an electric fireplace is an available option.

At 7,868 pounds unloaded and 36 feet 1 inch, the 293TQBSCK is a stout half-ton or a light three-quarter-ton tow, with a healthy 2,000-pound cargo capacity and a 1,068-pound hitch. It carries the Legacy tier’s standard content: solid-surface kitchen counters, upgraded aluminum wheels, a 21-foot power awning, a standard outside camp kitchen with a pull-out griddle, a cabinet and a refrigerator, and washer/dryer-capable wiring, on top of the line’s GE 10.7-cubic-foot 12V refrigerator, 60,000-BTU tankless water heater and 13,500-BTU ducted heat-pump air conditioner. A 35,000-BTU furnace with residential in-floor ducted heat handles cold weather, a 59-gallon grey tank suits a busy family, and 50-amp service with up to three air conditioners is available.

Construction is the same metal-sided value build as the rest of the line — 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 a 5/8-inch StableDeck floor — with JBL Aura audio and a 600-watt solar prep. For a family that wants a genuinely private rear bunk room, a real front master and a dual-entry bath in a half-ton-friendly package, the 293TQBSCK is the private-bunkhouse pick of the line.

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 293TQBSCK 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.

A full 38-gallon fresh tank is about 317 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 16% of the 293TQBSCK’s 2,000 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,683 lb (168 lb per rated berth). Across 20 Coachmen Catalina floorplans the water share runs 13% to 24%, and 11 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Coachmen Catalina 211BH at 16% and Coachmen Catalina 231BHS at 17%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
