Coachmen Mirada slide issues.

We purchased a Coachmen Mirada motorhome new in March of 2016. Numerous problems from the start. Most have been taken care of, but the slides, the worst one of which is the large slide, leak when it rains. Worse when the slide is pulled shut. The warranty depot says the "diverters" were installed backwards and are diverting rainwater in, instead of out like they"re supposed to. Has anyone else had this problem and what has Coachmen offered to do? They want me to take it back to the plant in Middlebury, Idiana at my own expense. 3200 mile round trip!! Fuel, hotels, flights possibly if they need it a while, will cost a fortune! Any body out there dealt with them on a similar issue?

Sorry you are having this problem. We LOVED our 2015 Mirada and it was relatively trouble free for us over the course of 20 months and 7000 miles.
We upgraded to our American Coach.

We have the same dilemma as far as getting warranty work. We don't need much and are biting the bullet to go back to the factory over the summer. We knew going in we were never taking back to the dealer where we bought.
We can either pay the cost to get there and back combined with lost wages it's cheaper to pay to have it done locally.

I would recommend getting someone else to look at it for a second opinion before deciding to take it back to the factory. Look through the reviews on RV Service Reviews and find someone who gets good reviews and pay to have it looked at. It's not right, but it is what it is.
