Coachmen mirada 29fw vs Thor Hurricane 29M

Hello all. Going to move to a Class A. Wife and I have started looking. We are going new, and we really like the floor plan of these two. Ive done my research, but still would like your input. We are looking between these two. The Coachmen mirada 29FW, and the Thor Hurricane 29M. Has any one else considered these two. Im not sure if the Azdel means anything, I have never had before. I will be getting rid of my 5Th wheel for this Class A. Wife said no way to used, and she has to have a king bed. We have also found both of these for under 100K. Heck I have seen them for under 90K. So price is where I want to be. The king bedroom is nice. Also the length is about what I want. We like the full wall slide. Seems like the are strong enough. Old post said they were weak in the beggining. I have no dealer close to me so I will have to drive to get camper, so I don't care about that either. Also both have the same chassis. Thanks guys for all the advice in advance.
Class A

    Well good news. I sold the truck. Now I’ll give it a couple months to sell the camper. Then I’ll get the class a.

    If the prices and features are comparable, I would go with the Coachmen Mirada. Based on the YT videos I saw, the Coachmen looks more upscale and nicer finish. The Hurricane, in my opinion, looks outright cheap.

    Ya I just looked at them. They seem nice but wow they cost as much as the ones I’m looking at and they are 5 years old. Wife won’t do that. She hates used.

    Those are both "entry level" units. I know your wife does not want used but you can get a nice upscale rig for the 100k you are talking. I would buy used over new any day as the bugs have been generally worked out of them and the depreciation hit has been taken by the first buyer. We purchased our 2016 Tiffin Allegro for 109k with 4200 miles on it. It was like new.
