Which would you choose: Coachmen Mirada or Fleetwood Terra

I'm torn between the Coachmen Mirada or the Fleetwood Terra. Which would you choose? Each seem to have their fair share of complaints on the message boards. But, any insights into which one is a better quality?

I know boats, so which brand would the Coachmen or Fleetwood correspond to?

Thanks much!

    I personally like what Fleetwood has done across their spectrum of motorhomes a little bit more than Coachman-especially on the high end, often that trickles down and benefits the entire lineup. I have a few friends with various Fleetwoods-all have had better luck than people I know with Coachman products.

    Thanks -- just curious why you prefer the Fleetwood more?


    Not a big difference. Between the two I would buy a Fleetwood again over the Coachman. Storage seemed to be better thought both inside and out. Keep in mind our Terra was 8 years newer than the Coachman. That may not be a fair comparison. I would go with the one that fits your needs the best.

    Both are one step above the entry level coaches. A good first MH for the money - better than the lowest level of the manufacture, but definitely not their top of the line.

    My personal opinion is many people expect a lot more out of an entry level, first step up - than is realistic. That is why you see a lot of negative comments.
