Looking at replacing our old Sunlite camper with an ATC.

Does anyone have pics of the interior of an ATC Cougar? Not too many pics on the ATC website. We are interested in the side dinette and reg rollover couch.

Furthermore, is there anyone in the Portland Oregon area that would be willing for me to take a look at one in person?

Thanks in advance!

Wow, HotCheesePanda is quite a user name! Welcome to WTW!

There are a few Cougar owners here on the Forum, but TuffGuy62 is the only one I can think of by name. Check out Brian’s photo gallery, there may be a few photos that will help. There are a good number of members here who have ATC campers, I have recently ordered a Cougar shell model, and had a Bobcat previously. I’ve rarely (if ever) heard complaints about ATC, and they are very flexible and easy to work with. They make great campers, and they stand behind their work.

I expect my Cougar in September or October, so you would be welcome to see it in person if you haven’t ordered by then. We are in the rural areas outside of Baker City.
 
Thanks so much for the quick response. I appreciate the offer to come look at your new rig later this summer/fall. Congratulations BTW! If I have not placed my order by then, I will for sure take you up on that offer.
 
You’re welcome.

Are you looking for both a side dinette and roll over coach? If so, that would probably be a custom shell model. That’s a good question to ask Jeff or Marty.

Here is a link that you might enjoy reading. ATC vs FWC.
 
Hi HCP,
Welcome to WTW! I don't have a Cougar (long bed), I have a Panther (short bed) but I'll share some pictures from when I was going through planning out my camper build.

Here is a Cougar with sofa from the ATC site -

When my Panther was built I had them shorten the sofa and add the "tall" passenger side cabinet like a Cougar.

I did go with the 84" wide Panther and use an electric chest fridge in place of the Yeti. But the extra width gives you a wide isle.

ATC converted the fridge cabinet for storage.

The great thing is that ATC does custom work so you end up with something that really fits your needs.

Let me know if you need more detail or have questions.


This might give you an idea of what the side dinette setup would be like https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/19010-atc-panther-purchase/
 
Thanks everyone. Super glad that I joined this forum, what a great community.

We are trying to max the room we have due to our stubborn dogs that ALWAYS choose the worst possible spot to relax in. Not sure if the side dinette would give us more floor space or a space where at least one dog could lay under the table.

The reason I’m going with a shell model and a Cougar this time is I ran myself out of room when I built out the Bobcat. With my clothing, food, photo gear, shotguns, bird vest, dog gear, and an 85 pound Wirehair pointer, there was no room. If I wanted to be standing, the side dinette had to be made into a bed so Fritz had a place to be out of the way. If I wanted to sit, Fritz had to be in the aisle.

Unless you get a Lagun type table support, there won’t be room for the dog. The stock tables are supported by a leg and support on the floor.

My goal with the Cougar is to maximize floor space, and given that you have dogs, you may also find that necessary.

In addition to this guy, we have a second dog that’s nearly as big. They take up a lot of room.

I have a cougar but probably won't help as I built it out from a shell that had only the furnace and cooktop in the back corner. But you're welcome to come visit and look if you want to take the trip. I'm up in Sequim in WA.
 
i have an atc ocelot shell. its not built out as yet, but is in pdx if u want to look at it. i am going to build out interior myself, but have heldoff, and have changed mind a few times :) i do have an alucab awning, lithium battery in a temp setup, 12 v dometic fridge on rear floor.

We maximized floor space in our build by using flip up chairs and a lagun table.

Hey Vic, how have those flip up chairs working for you? I just went back to your build post last week and have been thinking of doing the same.
Also dealing with a 83 pound black lab!
 
The chairs are in two major components, the actual seating surface and the seat support that flips out. The actual seats are great. Super comfy and of course portable, so we can use them in multiple locations/orientations. The wife likes to turn hers so that she sits on the passenger rear side with her feet up on the propane cabinet. Or turn the front seat sideways to get stuff out of the fridge for meal prep.

The supports themselves require some caution and thinking. The brackets I used some super sharp edges on them that I have filed down (not until after I gouged my right thigh out enough to require stitches!) They also don't like side loads, and will bend and collapse. I created some braces for them using c-channel alum that is working really well.

We tend to leave the rearmost seat unused and in the down position, leaving lots of room to move about in the camper. The lagun table gets used more for my office work while on the road than for eating, as we eat outside 99% of the time. The front seat is often open and is used for fridge access as well as a very nice step for getting in/out of bed.

The long skinny shelf that is formed by the Z-shape of the floorpack holds all of our electronics - MPPT, ACDC and DCDC chargers as well as our Cellphone booster/wifi router.

Very happy with that part of the build!
 
Once again, thanks! I am overwhelmed by how helpful everyone is on WTW.

Greg, I would be very interested in seeing your shell. That would give me an idea about spacing and what not.

Thanks again everyone!

use my email to contact, and we can work out a date/time for you to take a look.
 
We pick up new Cougar shell in about three weeks. I am doing most of the build out with a side dinette, front bench seat and cabinets with fridge, stove, sink, etc. Will post some photos as that goes along, but might be later than you need.

I'm curious. Does ATC contact you before they start the build to finalize stuff? I Should be getting mine in around November or December.
