Looking for some insight.

We are looking for a specific floor plan and price range, and the Coachman Mirada 350DS and Georgetown 350TS from 2009 meet those needs (Bunks) and can be had for less than $70K.

I am getting analysis paralysis. Every motorhome has its issues, so I am told. But I cannot find any raving fans. Also only finding maybe 1 or 2 bad reviews that stand out (and we always emphasize the bad over the good). Which of the two, from a manufacture standpoint, are going to have longevity. I have no frame of reference since I am new to RV's.

Intended use...full time RV with 3 people (2 adults, 1 toddler) and a towed car.

I guess I am asking the more general question, Coachman vs Forest River. Where do you come down and why?

those are about the most worthless items that can be added to an RV. check prior threads as to people's opinions of them.

Old unit was a 94 Airstream MH bought used and it hat all the bells and whistles. but was old and had had a roof leak in the past.You need to check out EVERYTHING each unit has.and compare apples to apples. make sure yiu take a long test driver and get a good feel foe the road and not just fall in love with the looks.
