Newmar Ventana diesel pusher

Wanting some information on the Newmar Ventana Motor home.
Son-in-law is thinking of buying one and needs to know the good & Bad of this coach. Any comments welcome.
Thanks
  • Newmar makes a great coach, Comfort Drive is an absolute must have IMO. Great choice!
  • Good friends have a new Vantana 4037 awesome coach. Very comfortable love the 2 lounge chairs and half bath. They like how it drives with comfort drive and the tag axle with plenty of power from the cummins 400 horse engine. Newmar has hit a home run with the Vantana , when ordering if you want upgraded features from Newmar's higher line coaches you can order almost any upgrade that can be manufactured within your floor plan it's just costs more $.

    What year...what size?

    A couple of years ago, we were interested in the 43' Ventana, but the lack of an ISL engine (which the new ones have now), location of television, and lack of over head cabinet space on the passenger side...made us look elsewhere.

    However, that said, Newmar makes an excellent coach and if you (he) is satisfied with it, that's all that matters. The comfort drive is a big plus.

    A big coach like what you are talking about did not have an ISL Cummins??? What did it have, if you do not mind telling us?
  • Newmar is a great manufacturer.
    Ventana is their entry level DP, features are in line with the price.
  • We bought a 2008 Ventana 3960 w/3 slides last October with almost 13K miles. It's a gem, we like the layout, plenty of power, and comfortable.

    Cheers,

  • Our Ventana is a great coach. Our Precision Temp hot water heat has been a source of troubles. Newer models use Oasis. Have it under control now. Keeo the slides well adjusted, slide controllers have failed more than once. Cabinet work is really not that great even though they market that it is. Attwood Levelegs are not that great ( newer years have a hyd system ). Chassis and drivetrain are top notch. I believe it is a great coach for the price range.
  • Thanks. Glad you asked, 36' or maybe a 40' 3 slides. year 2015.
    I will e-mail him your comments.
    Anyone let me know what you think?
