I haven’t driven one yet, but since I’ve studies these rigs to excess I couldn’t resist. Ive talked to quite a few during my research and the short answer is they are said to handle as good as any coach that size can and better than the straight axle Ventana. I watched a 20 minute video of someone driving in varying conditions towing a Jeep and towing seems to be about the same as any with that power to weight ratio. The straight-axle 34’ Ventana is 4-5000 lbs lighter so it will handle grades and towing better, but may not be as stable in winds or when passes by big rigs.
I’m still struggling with the 33 v. 35 versions. I really like the ISM over the ISB, but I also like the shorter wheel base of the 33. Ive been in all three models of both and cabin size seems irrelevant unless you really want a king size bed. I might try for a queen bed option on a 35.
I also have some fairly useful pricing info if you are interested - off topic, I know, so just PM me.
Cheers!
