Some Weight/Numbers Help Please
I'm considering buying a 2014 Newmar Ventana LE and wanted to get the opinion of those smarter than me about what I will be able to load and tow. Here are the specs: Front GAWR-12,000 Rear GAWR-2...

"kaydeejay"......I actually went to Newmar's site and gave the correct figures. Please do your homework before calling me wrong. Gross Combined Weight is not empty coach subtracted from Gross Vehicle Weight. The Ventana's have a 10000 pound tow rating which is larger than GVWR.
With a GCWR (NOT GVWR) of 33,000# and an empty weight of 26,100#, with NOTHING in the coach, the max tow is 6900# assuming the hitch is rated for that much.
And, according to the specs posted by EXECUTIVE, the GVWR is actually 1000# less than the sum of the axle ratings.
I'm sure you will correct me if I'm wrong :B
