The specs from PastorCharlie are incorrect as this model is the 3845.
Those specs are correct for the unit noted. You failed to posted your particular unit until now, had that information been given I would have posted information for model 3845. It is important to give all information when seeking an informed answer. ๐

I would start by checking with Newmar. They are known to make changes for customers. They may do just what you want.

"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

Elias....You have your numbers all wrong. Your front and rear gross axle ratings equal your gross vehicle rating. You have 12000 and 20000 equaling 31000, when it should be 32000. You then need to subtract your unloaded weight which is 26100. This gives you 5900 pounds of cargo capacity (fuel, water, people, food etc).
I want to see someone load a vehicle that precisely!
