Mirada or Class C (Forester)

Looking for some help from people that have had experience with both (Mirada and Class C). Looking at a Mirada 32 and a Forester 3171 (both bunk units)

My concern is I also tow a boat (I currently have a 28' Winnebago Class C) and I don't see very many people pulling 5,000 lb boats with class a units. I know it's capable, but what is real world like.

Thanks in advance for comments about either the Mirada (as an overall unit) or the towing comparisons, or other notes of value.

Thanks,
Brian

You need to check your hitch. It will tell you how much you tow. Thats what Tri Am RV told me this week while installing Blue Ox on my 2015 Chevy Pick Up. Then they checked my truck weight and it barely fit the weight limit.

I have a '13 Mirada 35DL. Towed my '15 Glastron GT185 1000 miles round trip to Summersville Lake in WV this summer. My boat is only about 3000lbs on the trailer. Couldn't even tell it was back there. Even launched it with the coach. No problems at all.

Your mileage may vary...
