Update from me after looking at our local dealer's Coachmen Mirada Select model. Not impressed with the quality of the build of this motorhome at all. I saw a trim piece coming loose above the couch on the slide along with many other signs of lower quality like loose pieces of tile backsplash. It also didn't help that the dealer had allowed the coach's batteries to go dead so the salesperson was supposedly unable to provide any power during my walk thru and close inspection. In fact, the unique salon bunk bed that the Coachmen Mirada Select has was stuck in the halfway up/down position which made it hard to get a feel for head room while sitting in the dinette or couch. And the freezer door was missing off the refrigerator. Who would try and show a $100,000+ motorhome in that type of condition? The dealer did such a poor job of presenting the motorhome that they are eliminated from any future consideration of any purchase.
Our process of elimination and research continues. I think after our very recent experience dealing with Thor/Keystone for a defective decal issue on our travel trailer, we will stay away from the big 2 manufacturers Thor and Forest River anyhow. I have not been impressed at times with their quality of build and with their customer care in the long term although Forest River/Rockwood handled our previous travel trailer's manufacturing defect post-warranty much better than Thor/Keystone has so far with this faded cracked decal issue.
