Coachmen Mirada

I am looking at a 2005 Coachman Mirada 30 ft with no slides. It has small bumps on the exterior fiberglass walls in many places. Is this a factory defect as the salesman tells me or is it a sign of more trouble to come? Any advice on the reliability on Coachman motor homes would be welcomed

    Google 'delamination' and you'll have your answer. "Bumps" are NOT factory defects unless you consider the sidewall separation a factory defect. Keep looking..that coach isn't worth the later aggravation......Dennis

    I did it for you: Delamination- Is it worth it?

    Run away! Run very fast! The coach is already 9yrs old and with delamination.

    a sign of more trouble to come. were the salesman's lips moving? if so, he was lying.
