Coachmen Mirada 35OS vs Fleetwood Frontier 37S

Coachmen · Class A

The difference that matters

A gas Class A against a diesel pusher. The Coachmen Mirada 35OS sits on a Ford F-53 with the 7.3L V8 and a 22,000 lb GVWR; the Fleetwood Frontier 37S rides a Freightliner XCR chassis with a 360 hp Cummins 6.7L diesel and a 33,600 lb GVWR. That 11,600 lb gap in rating, plus a 10,000 lb tow rating against 8,000, is the core of the decision.

The Frontier adds a third slide, a full flat floor with no step over the engine, a private master bath with a 50 by 28 inch shower, two power theater seats and a fireplace wall. Its tanks are larger at 96 gallons fresh and 65 gray, against 70 and 45. The Mirada answers with a king bed and CPAP cabinet, a drop-down cab bunk, a 5.5 kW gas generator and automatic leveling jacks. Each sleeps six.

Couples who cover long distances with a car behind will feel the diesel's extra capacity. Families who want a gas coach with a bunk for the kids will find the Mirada covers that.

Coachmen Mirada 35OS: Families who want a gas Class A with a king bed, a cab bunk and an 8,000 lb hitch.
Fleetwood Frontier 37S: Diesel power for towing heavier cars, plus a flat floor and a full master bath, for couples.
