My 2016 Ventana 3709 is a joy to drive, and has been a very nice rig with little in the way of teething problems. The Comfort Drive system does, indeed, take some of the work out of fighting crosswinds, and allows me to arrive at the destination not as tired as I used to be in the bigger, heavier, 45 ft. Beaver I used to have. I'd steer clear of the Ventana LE, primarily because of its weight limitations, but you'll certainly want to check out the available options in any case -- mine has the Oasis (their version of Aqua Hot) which I love. I'm usually getting between 8 and 9 mpg on the highway, running about 65 mph, depending on winds and hills. The 360 HP engine is more than adequate, giving slightly better uphill performance with my Jeep toad than I got on my 525 HP Beaver. Of course the Ventana maxes out at 36,000 lbs while the Beaver maxed at 50,000.
