Newby to motorcoaching - need info on 2006 Newmar Ventana

[Lost man]

Well the wife said “I want a rv,diesel pusher”. So being of sound mind, we looked for months for the right diesel pusher,did I mention it had to be the correct set up inside( she would know it when she saw it). We found one in a estate sale and I can’t get anyone to help me understand how to use it.
No dealer instruction book, no storage compartment keys,batteries etc. I looked at YouTube for everything I need and used most of the suggestions. The dealers really don’t want to help over the phone, must bring in to shop so we charge u $130.00 per. Everyone said same key c-751 fits all rv’s not! Just thought I d complain but I will get my wife’s diesel pusher ready to enjoy the rv life.(I Hope)
Just need some help on finding instruction on a 2006 Newmar Ventana.

Newmar went away from "standard keys" back around the time we ordered our second DSDP in 2002.

Ventana's are pretty nice. I am sure once you figure out the details you will really enjoy it

Hi,
Plug in your model number for various parts - <--clicky (usually found inside a cabinet door or in the washer/dryer cabinet and you should get a number of your questions answered.

If it is the specific model number of the coach It should be something like "Model DSVT3831" or "DSVT3836"...something like that. Our sticker giving that information is in the Bedroom closet and looks like this:



On the upper right of the sticker you will see NSDP3933 that is our model number.

Where do you Live? I am sure that someone near you would help you with basic operation.

Have you tried calling Newmar - they likely have a tech support group.

[ThePowells]

Have you posted this in the Newmar group on this site?

Lostman:
Welcome to the forum. You won't be lost for long.
A little more info about you and your MH would be helpful though. There may be someone in your hometown with a MH similar to yours who would help guide you through your learning curve.

I think if you take your questions over to the Newmar Owners Forum, the moderator "007" will have a wealth of info for you, including manuals, brochures, links and advice. Good Luck!

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Congrats on the new rig! Keep her between the ditches!

When we bought the Windsor there was no key for the storage bays or the main door lock (same key fits both in our case). We had the keypad so we could lock and unlock them that way, but wanted a real key.

I called Monaco parts department and they sent me a master key that couldn't be duplicated but allowed me to remove the cylinder. I took the cylinder to a local locksmith who made me keys. I had to return the master key to Monaco.

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

I have a 2015 Ventana. Ventana line of Newmar's lineup is wonderful, as are all of their coaches. There is a very high likelihood that other 2006 Ventana owners are on this forum. Newmar Customer Service (800.731.8300) is very helpful. They support more than just the original purchaser. You will need the last 6 of the vin number before you call.

If you ask more specific questions on this forum, you will be surprised of the support that fellow members provide.

Congratulations on your new coach. Lots of happy memories, yet to be made, are in your future.
