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.

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

The published dry tongue weight of 1,068 pounds is 14% of the 7,868-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 9,868-pound GVWR the 293TQBSCK is towing 2,000 pounds more than its 7,868-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 59 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 293TQBSCK sits 16 of 20 in the Coachmen Catalina line: 9,868 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 323BHDSCK is 42 pounds lighter at 9,826 lb GVWR; and Coachmen Catalina 343BHTS is 568 pounds heavier at 10,436 lb GVWR.

Against the 293TQBSCK: the Westbrook 27REXC is 8 lb lighter and 2 ft shorter; the Tracer 295DB is 18 lb lighter and 2 ft longer and sleeps 2 fewer; the Puma Tracks 3070RKLS is 26 lb heavier. 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 293TQBSCK. 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 (94%) 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.
