Newmar Begins Producing 2011 Ventana Diesel
NAPPANEE, Ind. - This week, Newmar Corporation begins production of its all new 2011 Ventana diesel motor home. This is the first generational change for Newmar's entry level diesel product since the brand was introduced in the 2006 model year.
"We are very excited to launch the next generation of Ventana to our dealers and retail customers. The Ventana brand helped our company grow market share throughout the 2009 calendar year with an increase in share of 75% for the Ventana brand alone," said John Sammut, Newmar's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "With the breathtaking new look and the tremendous value the 2011 Ventana offers, we cannot help but think that this exciting product will continue to grow our company's business."
The 2011 Ventana will feature newly designed front and rear caps, dash and instrument panels, providing the operator with an ergonomically designed cockpit.
Interior design changes include newly styled furniture, slide out fascias and window treatments, as well as a new contemporary headboard in the bedroom. The standard flooring offered in the 2011 Ventana features polished porcelain tile laid on a diagonal with small designer inserts throughout the front living area. The Ventana for 2011 is available in three interior decors, three exterior paint colors and two wood choices.
The 2011 Ventana is being offered exclusively on the Freightliner® XC-R series motor home chassis. The 34' and 39' models will be powered by a 350 horsepower Cummins® ISB engine while the 43' tag axle models feature a 360 horsepower Cummins® ISC power plant. As with all Newmar diesel motor homes, the 2011 Ventana will be equipped standard with the Comfort DriveTM Steering System.
Floorplans include two 34', three 39' and three 43' tag axle models. The 43' offerings include a bath and a half floorplan, one side aisle model as well as a traditional rear bedroom quad slide layout. Full wall slides are offered in one 34' and one 39' model. One 39' model even features a wardrobe with removable doors in the hallway that can be converted into two large bunk beds in a matter of seconds. MSRP's for the 2011 Ventana start at $218,858.
New options being offered in Ventana for 2011 include Sleep Number Deluxe® air mattress in the bedroom, a residential refrigerator with a pure sine wave inverter and two extra batteries on select models, as well as (on certain floorplans) an exterior entertainment center with a Sony® 40" television, remote radio and two speakers located in the sidewall beneath the patio awning.
