Who owns a Ventana or Dutch Star?

It does help, it sounds like you did EXACTLY what we want to do. We think the changes you made make the 4369 just about perfect, thanks!

We moved from our 2001 DSDP to the 2014 Ventana 4377 just 2 months ago.. We have driven the new coach only about 1000 miles to date. The 2001 Dutchstar drove great I thought but the tag axle Ventana drives way better. I know it is heavier and has the tag and the comfrt drive so it is hard to say what improved the handling the most. We do not get pushed around at all by the wind and big trucks now.

Did any of you come from a single axel coach of similar size and weight to your present tag axel coach? What are the differences in wind, ride, etc?
