We currently have a 2016 Ventana LE 4037 and we are considering buying a used 2016 Ventana 4322 with low miles. We are not full timers and put 15k miles on the coach this year. We are hooked on the RV life style and want to semi retire in 5 years or so. Does anyone have input on the 4322 floor plan and I would love to hear from 43' Ventana owners as to what they like about the Ventana and any reservations about the coach. it's a pretty big coach and we were curious about your experience if you went from from a 40' to a 43'. We are curious as to what sort of mpg you are getting. We also see that the front axle is rated at 14K. Are there any concerns about the front axle ratings from those that have weighted their 2016 Ventana 4322 or similar floor plan. Any input would be much appreciated. We are really interested in a Dutch Star but their price keeps climbing and climbing so it is a bit out of reach at this point. We love our LE and we are interested in the Ventana for the tag, increased ccc, upgraded features, increased towing capacity and smoother ride.

Myself, I would suggest keep the current 4037 until within a year or so of retirement. Saving and working toward getting then the Dutch Star you really want. IMHO.

Thanks vsheetz. That's some solid advice and I appreciate it. This opportunity with the Ventana just presented it self and it got our wheels spinning. We really want a Dutch Star and one side of me is concerned that the Dutch Star will be out of our reach which is why I have considered taken advantage of this opportunity. I've never been one to settle so I like your thinking.
