Brought home a 2021 Coachmen Mirada 35ES

I thought some folks would be interested to hear. We bought at General RV in Ocala. We were happy with the process and their setup. PDI issues we found we handled same day (nothing major obviously). Found out later that the hot water heater doesn’t work on electric and the ice maker doesn’t work at all. Everything else seems good. We traded in a Thor ACE, and the Mirada fit and finish are obvious upgrades. The new V-8 is fine. It feels less “peppy” than the V-10 we had, but it’s moving a bigger coach. The handling is a big improvement over the Thor. It definitely needs an alignment but otherwise we’re quite happy.

Glad to answer any questions, and be warned I’m not the most mechanically inclined!

    Did not finance through them. Thanks for the tip - maybe it helps someone else.

    Congratulations. We also just purchased a 2021 Newmar Bay Star Sport. We have the same problem with the water not working on electric, however, it works perfect on gas. We also have an ice maker but we haven't bothered turning it on. I guess we should try it to make sure it works.
