Dryer vent on 2014 Ventana 4037
We just got our 2014 Ventana 4037 with the Whirlpool stacked washer and dryer. The dryer vent goes into the exterior wall, but the hot air seems to blow right back out around it. I cannot see any air coming out on the outside of the rig. Is the dryer supposed to be connected to an outside vent. There is no visible vent on the exterior.
It seems odd to have the moist hot air coming right back in to rig.

Nothing for a vent on the outside of the Coach? Maybe due to its location, they vented into the outside of the rear cap, out of sight? does the rear of the dryer face the rear of the Coach? Here is a vent clearly showen on the same model as yours.......

Something's not right. When my dryer is working, no hot air goes into the coach - it all vents to the outside. Can you feel anything coming out of your outside vent?

There is no outside vent on ours. There was no steam coming out of the rear cap on the outside, and the day we used it the weather was such that there should have been visible steam.

I would give Newmar a call you should see a vent like palehorse posted.
If it just goes into the rear cap space its going to cause problems and possibly mold.
4037 vent rear bath should be in same position as the same picture palehorse posted.

Our 2014 4037 has the exterior vent as shown on the pic. Definitely vents to outside. Last thing you want is a bunch of moist air staying inside the rig.

Thanks all for the replies. Based on your knowledgeable feedback we sent an email to the dealer who got back to us immediately (on Sunday, no less). Within 24 hours we had been contacted by both Newmar & the dealer. Yes, there should be a vent! They have advised, and we had already decided, not to use the dryer until proper venting is installed.
As well as those who replied, I do wish to express thanks to both Bella Vista RV Centre & Newmar for their quick attention to this.
Don

Thank you for posting back Don, Sounds like a easy fix for them without to much stress on you. Safe travels my friend!
