1985 TrailManor

I would like to thank each and every one of you for all of your help. I am delightfully surprised at how friendly and helpful you have been to me. I was able to find a GVWR weight on the back side of the camper. It was on a handwritten sticker covered with a piece of clear plastic laminate stuff. It was so faded that it was hard to read. (without my glasses) The weight is 3920. The bottom "box" of the camper is 16 feet long, and the top measures a little over 24 feet. I have a digital camera and as soon as I figure how to upload the pictures I will post some so you can see "The Big Kahuna" I am in the process of looking for another vehicle so I can tow it. I now have a Honda CRV, which is entirely too small to even think about pulling it with. The inside of the camper is pretty much the same as it was in 1985 (or at leas I think it is) But we are as happy with it as if we had won the lottery. Thanks again for all of your help!!! Rattlin' Rachel.

No problem Rachel - this forum is extremely polite and very helpful. It's well worth the $12 a year. I've yet to see a question posted that didn't have a helpful suggestion or solution, and very quickly, too!

It's a good idea to put your TM info in your signature, that way if you have a question, your model #, year, etc. is right there for easy reference. Good luck on your tow vehicle search!

I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of your TM (& TV when you get it)!

Wow....an '85 and an '86. Makes my '89 seem less old. I pull mine with a 5 cylinder 3.5L Chevrolet Colorado rated to pull 4000lbs.

I went out to my 1989 TM23 this evening and got the Owners Manual out. It has some charts for 1990 showing the TM20 thru the TM28F. I am a little curious if I have a smaller bathroom than other models so I took along my tape measure. From the inside of the back wall, across the queen bed to the bath wall is 65.5 inches. Outside corners of the bath are 59 inches. From the bath to front bed is 99.5 inches. And from the front of the double bed to the front wall is 54 Inches for a total inside length of 23' 2" at bed height. So how does my bathroom size compare to yours?

I have scanned in the floor plans but I fear they are too large for this site since they are about 1.5 meg each. I will try to get my son to shrink them down but if anyone is interested in these bloated images send me your email to '[email protected]'

The M20 is the only one to have an icebox instead of refrig. And it doesn't have a bathtub. (Boy that is a big loss.) All models from the 22 to the 28 have the same size bathrooms on the floorplans. And none of them have a space between the bed and bath. Some have a storage compartment in the back wall under the queen beds and the outside of the storage compartment is represented by a broken line. The broken line is a common drafting practice to represent a hidden dimention not visible by direct sight.

I believe the space between the all-in-one style wet bath that I have and the rear bed (both my beds are fulls, BTW) is basically where the bathtub is located in the newer models. My wardrobe is part of the bathroom wall, it doesn't slide separately over to the counter top area. The wardrobe door is inside the bathroom, and the space is underneath the wardrobe. You can shove quite a bit of stuff under there, but it all has to come out in order to fold down the bathroom.

I have a 1990 28 (same as 3225). The bathroom measures 37"x59" exterior dimensions.

Thanks for checking that for me Backfire. They are the same size.
