Calling all 2016 Ventana 43' Coach Owners

We are looking at a 2016 Ventana 4322. We noticed that Newmar upped the front axle rating from 14,000 in 2016 to 14,700 in 2017. Is there a front axle concern to consider on the 43" Ventana? I was told there wasn't and Newmar upgraded the front axle across the board in 2017. Also going to a tag axle on this coach what kind of MPG can I expect. Any 4322 owners feel free to share your thoughts on this floor planfloorplan

Don't worry, the 2016 uses the same 14,700lb front axle. Maybe there was a minor change in the suspension but I doubt it. I have the same axle too and my loaded front axle weight is 12,220lb so there is plenty of capacity left with either number.
My mpg is averaging 8.1

Is the MPG towing a car or not?
