Our new but used 1992 tm so excited

[rgbrennan]

So we are the proud owners of a 92 TM got for $2000 but everything in it works and beyond minor cosmetics its perfect. Here are some pics to show the work in progress. Everyone who sees it says its really cool they never seen one before. My wife and i never seen one either and were in the hunt for a pop up when we found this in Detroit Mich. Drove 9 hours just to see it and buy but well worth it. We cant wait to camp in it when its all completed.

Congratulations on your new(to you)TM. Know that you are going to enjoy it. We also when looking for a trailer saw the Tm for the first time and grabbed it right then and there. Have fun.

Cosmetics are easy to take care of and you will have a lot of fun doing it. So glad you found a nice TM, you will like it and all its room so much better than the popup, and like a popup you won't even know it is behind you.
Good luck with your project.

wow
it looks grt, glad to see another vintage survior, you will have a large time with it. and again welcome:)

Congrats! We got ours in Detroit as well - Centerline to be exact - but only had to drive 90 minutes or so. :)

Congratulations on your TM! It looks like it's in pretty good shape. Is this the model with the queen in the back, and dinette (that turns into a bed) between the refrigerator and front full sized bed? If so, it's the older version of the 2720, like ours.

If you need any advice on fixing things, this is the place to ask.

Happy camping!

[rgbrennan]

Yes B and D, queen size and table turns into another bed. Then full size at the other end. Which is good to know now i know for sure its a 2720 was trying to figure that part out. MariaG we bought ours from M&M rv center in Detroit. Its sounds like you might be near Michigan we are located in Sault Ste Marie all the way at the top in the U.P.. As far as fixing or replacing things the only thing that really needed replaceing was the wood that holds the vinyl flaps and the wood pieces in the door. Which was all pretty easy to replace. Other than that like i said before it really is in great shape. Just got the A/C unit working today i think it was the original that came with it. The only other major item is the thermostat for the heater needs to be calibrated and tweaked. will continue to post pics as the work goes on.

Whats all that white stuff piled next to it??

Congratulations on getting a good used TM. We bought ours used as well, and we love it.

So you live in "the Soo". Regarding the question about the "white stuff" piled near it, I can see that you aren't having a hard winter. I was stationed at Kincheloe AFB back in 60-61. It was just east of Rudyard. Most of it is prisons now. In those two winters they demonstrated that UP folks know how to do winter right! I took flying lessons at the old version of SSM airport, the one that was next to the modern airport that is there today. Grass runways, no tower. What beautiful country to fly over at 1000-2000 feet. When we practiced emergency landings one had to check the chosen field for cows. :eek:

In 2003 some folks organized an all years reunion, which we attended. Much has changed, much has not. Stood on the corner of Portage and Ashmun again. But I really enjoyed getting to show the DW the UP of Michigan. We did it all, White Point lighthouse, Painted Rocks NM including the boat tour, Taquamenon Falls and a lot of beautiful country.

Enjoy that TM.

Congratulations on your new to you TM. I can vouch for M & M as a great dealer to work with, I have bought 2 units from them and have always felt they treated me fairly. The guys in service are terrific. You have the best combination, a great TM and a great dealer too! Don't forget to join the Trailblazers, they have a newsletter and some fun activities too!!

[MariaG]

We're between Jackson and Battle Creek, in southern Michigan. We bought ours from a private party, and it needed a lot of work as you can see if you look in my blog, (some of which isn't done, we still have to finish painting the inside, paint the outside, do a few other cosmetic things on the inside and fix the oven - DH thinks the thermocouple is bad but can't figure out how to get it out *G*) but we love it! I'm glad to see such good reviews of M&M, we haven't been there but if we ever need to go it's nice to know they're good.

[vang2720]

very nice!!

I bought a 2011 2720 late last year too. I just completed a roadtrip from CO to KS and NE. I drove about 1000 miles using a 2012 sequoia as the tow vehicle. I averaged about 14 MPG (not great, but could be worse).

I hope to see you on the trail ....

[scrubjaysnest]

3000 mile plus so far, getting 13+ mpg with the 4X4, better then last year without the little boat on top of the truck.

[Bill & Lisa]

I am not sure but I 'believe' the TM23 is equivalent to the 3023 model. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny.

[hillbillyhotel]

You right on it , a tm 23 is what is now a 2330, ours is same a . Tm23

[Bill]

That would be 3023, of course.

These posts seem to indicate that a TM 25 is the equivalent of the 3023. There's also some pictures (they take a while to load).

[hillbillyhotel]

OHH I AM CONFUSED NOW, IS A TM 23 REALLY A 3023 LIKE I THOUGHT? OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE , I MAY JUST NEED TO UPGRADE TO THIS CENTURY:eek:

[B_and_D]

Do you have any pics of the interior of your TM that you could post? I'm still not sure about the past models. If someone has a brochure from the past it would be great if they could scan it and post it here.

Old discussion here:

If you could measure your open and closed lengths you could compare it to the lengths listed on the trailmanor website for the current models.

Congrats on your new-to-you TM! We love ours. We went from D.C. to Yellowstone last year using Wal-Marts for our nightly stops. Worked out so well!

[Tom-417]

Not sure what a 3023 is but the TM 23 is the same as the 2720 in every dimension.
