15' Ventana 43' got enough grunt?

Ok. So I am likely to move forward with the 2015 Ventana.

I plan to flat tow a Yukon XL. That work ok?

For what it is worth, we owned a Revolution LE for 9 years and 90,000 miles. It was a wonderful coach and we loved it. We decided we wanted to downsize though, and last spring bought a 34' Ventana LE motorhome. This unit is the bottom of the line for Newmar's diesel motorhomes. We have driven it a little over 6000 miles since we purchased it, and absolutely love it. One of the things that makes us so fond of it though, is the floorplan.

Yep. Funny enough that was the line of thought that was developing for me. The Ventana we are looking at has a perfect floorplan for us: bunk house. We sometimes travel 8 with four kids. It looks perfect for us.

I believe if you research it, you'll see that the 2015 Ventana has the independent front suspension and the Newmar Comfort Drive.

How big a difference is the IFS on Dutch Star versus no IFS on Ventana

Somewhat related question: if you could choose between a low mileage (14k) 2012 Mountain Aire and a 2015 new Ventana at a similar price, which would you purchase?
