NEWMAR VS COACHMEN

So, what do ya all think? Pros and Cons please.
Both 1 1/2 bath gassers on a Ford Chassis.
The Canyon Star is obviously a high end unit and comes at a higher price. Also at almost 40ft and four slides, one has to wonder how much the V10 can really handle....
NEWMAR

The lower end Mirada is shorter and lighter, but at a more reasonable price...
COACHMEN

I'm taking any asking prices with a grain of salt and just posting what I found, for the sake of the unit itself, so would like some advice on what one might pay for either of these, along with any other comments, that are most welcome.

I keep saying we're about done, otherwise might just spring for a Fleetwood American Revolution 40E and be done with it.

  • Well beyond the Revolution I would go with the Newmar. The V10 will take the coach any where in North America but I would check available CCC. Based on reviewing the links:

    Newmar Pros - Large residential fridge, stackable washer dryer, larger below floor storage, full length sofa (sleepy nap time), exterior TV.

    Coachman Pros - Never hear or read much about problems with Coachman products. Lighter rig probably more CCC, rear living are makes for easier TV viewing, lots of bedroom storage.

    A residential fright is very high on my next coach want list while the Navigator is demand a washer/dryer.

    I personally can't stand slide outs under my patio awning.
    The 40E does have 2 opposing slides in living room area, 1 under awning, and 2 driver side.
  • The newmar's overpriced. The coachmen, didn't see a price, maybe 75,000. If you want a gas unit, should be able to buy new for 85-100,000. As for the 40E Revolution, in the 80's.
    We ordered our 40E in 05. Good coach. 400 cat. 10 years old and have not seen 1 yet, that we would trade and spend 200,000 more on just for new.
