2011 Ventana SE?

There are a couple of 2011 Ventana SE for sale on RV Trader. The only information I have found about them is Newmar only built 11 of them in 2011 and they are built on a Spartan chassis. They are in the 39 foot range with a Cummins 350. Are these to be avoided? Was there a major issue with these units?

Thanks,

KJR

It is my understanding that the SEs were built to use up the Spartan chassis that Newmar had on hand after the 2008-11 economic slowdown. For a couple of years in that time frame, Newmar didn't use the Spartan chassis, then they resumed using them again in...I think...2012 or 2013.

The SE models should be pretty much the same as the corresponding models shown in Newmar's 2011 brochures; just built on the Spartan chassis. I don't think there should be any unusual issues to be concerned with on these coaches. If I was looking for a coach in that year model range, I would just do the standard "due diligence" reviews.

I once read and I don't know how true it is, that "Limited Edition" and "Special Editions" coaches were often made up of left over products. Not a bad thing though. Let's say they had a line of kitchen appliances, wall coverings or interior bedding materials that they were now discontinuing before the next years' model. Rather than let those items sit, they assemble as many coaches as possible from those items and then offer the coaches at a discounted price.
