Looking at a Coachmen, need advice

I am looking to purchase a new to us motorhome. My wife likes this one with the bath and a half.


https://www.parkwayrvcenter.com/prod...35dl-2110705-9

Any concerns from current owners that I should look for? Common leaks? Engine hold up? How is the ride? Any help would be appreciated.

One thought to keep in mind is that some campgrounds will not allow any RV >10 years old to camp there (some allow you to send photos and if in good shape they make an exception). Also, some RV shops will not work on RVs older than 10 years old and your 2013 is right at that age now.

I traded in my 98 American tradition and bought the 2013 Mirada 35 DL. I am an automotive tech and work on Fords all day long. It is going to be way easier to do service and repairs than it was on the old Fleetwood.

I have only had one place that ever asked me for pics. I sent them pics and they were good with it. We ended up changing our plans and not going and they have since been bought out.
