Miramar vs Hurricane vs Newmar

we just bought a Hurricane 34F, and were considering a 35C. Lets say 3/4s of our negatives towards the 35C layout have been rectified with the new 35M. I never stepped into a Miramar, but we were reaching and justifying too much just to get to the price point we ended up at - this is our first RV/trailer/camper ever, besides a tent. I know, one can always get a higher level used for the same cost of a lower level new, but many of the recent trends in motorhomes are "must haves" for us. I looked used, and along with the production gap starting in 2009, probably leading to price compression for 2 year old models to fall right in line with end of the year new models, I could not find used models to be a viable option for us. I guess every buyer has their unique needs and wants, we are a family of 2 teens, 2 parents, and 2 grandparents hoping to do a lot of traveling, not necessarily traditional camping. I realize the half bath may be dearly missed.

I have no experience to interject the effect from 22" vs 19" wheels, but the Thor 36' coach with a 242" wheelbase handles semi truck push as well as I ever expected. It is a non issue for me - stock suspension without an alignment yet.

We have the same problems with the used models. Layouts and options we like we have only been able to find on newer models. I did find one 2015 used model I liked but they wanted as much as a new model. I really do like the 242" wheel base on the Hurricanee and Miramar. The main thing I liked about the Miramar is the full body paint. In Florida, the sun just kills the front of our TT. It is in covered parking but it gets sun on the front end in the mornings and no matter how much I wax, it still gets oxidized after a couple of months.
