Question Annual Ventana floorplan and option refresh?

My wife and are going to buy a new 34 or 36 ft Ventana. We are debating ordering one now or waiting for a year and getting a 2016. This year’s models (2015) Ventan’s seemed to have a number of new floor plans and a lot of new standard features and options. Here is a link listing the changes: New 2015 Newmar Ventana - What's New - Steinbring Motorcoach

Does Newmar typically make around the same number of changes each new model year, or was 2015 a significant refresh that is unlikely to occur again in 2016? Due to the dimensions of our garage we can’t go longer than 36 feet and were wondering if it was worth waiting to see if there are new floorsplans next year that we would like better. Also, if each year the standard features and available options are upgraded significantly we may decide to wait.

Thanks for any information you can share on this.

Ken

Can't really answer your questions, but something you said threw up a caution flag. Are you aware that the 3636 & 3635 Ventana floor plans are actually 36'8"? Will this still fit in your garage? Hope this won't be a problem for you.

In the past some models floor plans as far as lengths of coach on chassis have stayed the same from year to year and because of all the changes this model year 2015 the 2016 maybe the same, best place to find that out would be from Newmar as to what they plan to do for Ventana 36' coach for 2016 and see if they will be having a 36' coach for the year.

I doubt that Newmar will tell you much about the 2016 changes before the announcement of the new models. For competitive reasons they consider that information top secret.
But then you could consider waiting for the 2017s, because they will make some changes you would like, and so on...
If you see a floor plan you like on the 2014s, go for it. There is also a chance that Newmar will eliminate that floor plan or change the length of the coach next year.
We did it.

Glad you knew about the extra length. Enjoy your new Ventana!
