2015 Mirada buying thoughts?

hi all,

i'm thinking of picking up a 2015 Coachmen mirada 34BHF. I was wondering if anyone owns one and has some advice. It has 20,000 miles on it and has a gas engine. I'll be towing a van behind it and was wondering how reliable/reputable this model is and if towing a van behind a gas engine class A is just a recipe for quickly killing the engine.

Many thanks!

    The correct answer is based on the actual towing capacity of the MH. 5000 is the max based on the hitch rating. There are other factors such as GVCW etc.
  • If the van is less than 5000 lbs, which it probably is, you should be fine. Just don't floor it every chance you get or try to race people up hills. For a 20,000+ lb motorhome, the difference between towing a 4000 lb van or a 3000 lb car is not something I'd lose sleep over.
