Proposed T-195 (19 5 ) Fun Finder (T-160 Plus 3 )

Proposed T-195 (19’5”) Fun Finder (T-160 plus 3’)

July 19, 2004 After spending a 3 week summer camping trip in unrelenting thunderstorms resulting in our worse cabin fever ever, I’ve prepared a new floorplan that is only 8 inches longer than my proposed T-189 rear dinette, yet adds significant versatility. I am interested in any comments. Dr. Wes Leggett

Existing production components: 1. T-160 front dinette and overhead bunk (optional permanent bed with overhead cabinets, as in T-189FBR). 2. T-160 wet bath opposite closet which uses T-160 24” mirrored door for storage area above hanging wardrobe. 3. T-160 galley opposite T-189 refrigerator (furnace and converter below fridge with new open TV shelf above). 4. T-189FBR dinette seat and table utilized in rear dinette area (not used for sleeping, so always available). 5. T-160 front dinette windows, T-189 sink window, T-160 couch window, and T-189FBR dinette window.

Design notes: 1. Rear couch (lower bunk) and permanent top bunk are 26” x 82” (optional overhead cabinets). 2. Rear top bunk is 33” above couch cushion (for couch sitting headroom) with 200+ pounds load capacity rating. 3. Fridge, furnace, converter, TV antenna, range, oven, microwave, and AC are directly over axle/wheelwell. 4. AC is flanked by dual Fantastic Fans, one of which is positioned for convenient hair drying after showering. 5. Dual curtains divide distinct activity areas and provide privacy for dressing area. 6. Wet bath is next to hot water tank for nearly instant hot/warm showers (possible temp adjustment on DSI?). 7. Raised power vent in bath provides additional headroom for showering (possible bath width more than 21 ½”?). 8. Closet is divided into 12” and 24” wide storage areas above and below full 36” wide hanging wardrobe. 9. Water lines to sink run under front dinette seats, through closet, and under galley (as in T-160). 10. Outside cargo doors provide access to all under seat storage areas (area under couch holds lengthy items). 11. ST215/75D14 tires provide 3740 pound total load capacity (1870 each) and maximize ground clearance. 12. Dual batteries are located on tongue along with single 30 pound propane (LP) tank.

Design considerations: 1. Front curvature extension overhang of 12” and rear overhang of 5” beyond frame are identical to T-160. 2. Single heavy-duty axle provides adequate GAWR/GVWR (16 foot frame would allow dual axle w/14” tires). 3. Couch seat just inside entry door allows shoes to be removed and stored immediately upon entering. 4. Sink just inside entry door allows handy outside access (more important than being close to hot water tank). 5. Rolling ice chest and portable folding table provide additional seating and table space for rear dinette area.
