Newmar Dutch Star/Ventana 4369: Two late-model units just listed

The Newmar Dutch Star 4329 / Ventana 4369 is one of the most popular floorplans in the luxury diesel pusher world, and for good reason. At nearly 44 feet, it packs a bath and a half, king bed, and three slides into a layout that feels more like a condo than a motorhome.

Right now, there are two well-maintained 4369s available through a boutique dealer near Tampa, Florida that specializes in buying their own premium inventory directly from private parties.

Same floorplan, different price points, different feature sets.

Available in Tampa, Florida

Let's break down what makes this layout special and help you decide which coach might be right for you.

Two badges, one legendary floorplan

If you're new to Newmar, the naming can be confusing. The Dutch Star and Ventana are both made by Newmar, both diesel pushers, and both available in the 4369 floorplan. The difference comes down to trim level and a few mechanical distinctions.

The Dutch Star sits higher in Newmar's lineup. It typically comes with a side radiator (which runs cooler in mountain driving), 450 HP from the Cummins ISL, and upgraded interior finishes. New, a 2026 Dutch Star 4369 runs about $618,000.

The Ventana is Newmar's mid-tier offering. It uses a rear radiator configuration, 400 HP from the Cummins engine, and the Comfort Drive steering system that owners rave about. A new 2026 Ventana 4369 starts around $503,000.

Both are built on the Freightliner chassis, both feature Newmar's quality construction, and both share the same thoughtfully designed 4369 floorplan.

The 4369 floorplan: A room-by-room breakdown

The photos below show the 2021 Newmar Ventana 4369 (which could be yours)!

Living area

The main living space benefits from three slides, including a full-wall slide on the driver's side. When you're set up at camp, the interior opens up dramatically.

Villa furniture (or Flexsteel, depending on year) provides comfortable seating, and there's typically a hide-a-bed sofa for guests. The 2021 Ventana includes a Bose sound bar and modern entertainment systems.

Kitchen and pantry

The galley features residential appliances, including a full-size Whirlpool refrigerator. Both coaches have solid-surface countertops and plenty of cabinet storage. The 2021 Ventana adds an all-electric option with induction cooktop and dishwasher.

Rear bath with dual vanity

The rear bathroom is the crown jewel of this layout. You get a full-width bathroom with dual sinks, a large shower, and actual counter space. No fighting for mirror time in the morning.

The 4369 gives you the kind of bathroom you'd expect in a master suite, including separate washer/dryer units.

The half-bath advantage

Here's where the 4369 really shines for couples who travel with guests or value privacy: there's a separate half-bath near the living area.

When you have visitors, they don't need to walk through your bedroom to use the restroom. When you're getting ready in the morning, your partner can use the half-bath without interrupting your routine. It's a small thing that makes a huge difference in daily life.

King bedroom

The bedroom features a King-size bed that doesn't feel crammed into a corner. With the slides extended, the room spans nearly 12 ft in width. There's room to walk around both sides of the bed, including moderately-sized nightstands with plugs.

The bedroom is separated enough from the living area that one person can sleep while the other watches TV.

Which coach is right for you?

The 2016 Dutch Star: $199,999 | 47,824 miles

This is your entry point into Newmar luxury at a price that's hard to beat. Here's what you get:

• 450 HP Cummins ISL diesel with Allison transmission

• Side radiator for cooler running in mountains

• Passive-steer tag axle for easier maneuvering

• Sable Maple hardwood cabinetry with full tile floors

• Dual Penguin heat pumps plus hydronic diesel heating

• Freightliner XCR chassis with 15,000 lb towing capacity

The Dutch Star's side radiator is a legitimate advantage if you spend time in mountainous terrain. It runs cooler than rear radiator configurations, which means less stress on the engine during long climbs.

At nearly 48,000 miles, this coach has been used, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Well-exercised diesel pushers often fare better than those that sat unused for years. Seals stay lubricated, systems stay operational, and problems get discovered and fixed.

Best for: Buyers who want maximum coach for their money, plan to travel in varied terrain, and don't mind a traditional interior aesthetic.

The 2021 Ventana: $255,500 | 24,432 miles

If you want newer technology and a more modern look, the Ventana is worth the premium:

• 400 HP Cummins diesel with Comfort Drive steering

• Bermuda Glazed Maple cabinetry with light, modern interior

• Digital dashboard with Xite Radio and Rand McNally navigation

• Omniview 360 camera system with backup and side cameras

• Bose sound bar and exterior entertainment system

• Wi-Fi SkyPro LTE cell router

• Optional Sleep Number king bed

The Comfort Drive system is a standout feature. Owners consistently describe it as making the coach "a joy to drive," with less fatigue from fighting crosswinds. If you're logging serious miles, this matters.

The 2021 also benefits from Newmar's updated styling and modern tech integration. The light interior feels more contemporary, and features like the 360 camera system and integrated navigation make driving easier.

At under 25,000 miles, this coach has plenty of life ahead of it.

Best for: Buyers who prioritize modern technology, want a lighter interior aesthetic, and value the latest safety and convenience features.

What owners say about the 4369

The Newmar 4369 has a loyal following. Here's what real owners report:

"This coach with the tag axle and Comfort Drive is the best driving coach I've ever been in. I've owned 5 RVs and this one is tops."

"The 4369 floorplan is the best floorplan of all major coach manufacturers."

"We looked around for several months for the perfect RV for full-time living and traveled around the country for a year with zero issues."

Full-timers particularly appreciate the bath-and-a-half layout and the separation between living and sleeping areas. The dual vanity in the rear bath gets mentioned repeatedly as a feature that makes daily life easier.

Newmar's customer service also earns praise. Multiple owners report that both Newmar and Freightliner "took care of any and all situations" that arose.

What to inspect before buying

No RV is perfect, and luxury coaches have complex systems that need attention. Here's what to check on any used Newmar Dutch Star or Ventana:

Slide-out seals

The full-wall slide is a major feature, but it's also a potential weak point. Inspect the seals carefully for wear or damage. Some owners report water intrusion during heavy sideways rain. Ask if the seals have been replaced or resealed.

Roof and sealants

Check every seam, vent, and penetration on the roof. Sealant degrades over time and needs periodic maintenance. Look for any signs of water intrusion inside, particularly around the slides and windows.

Electrical systems

Test everything. Every outlet, every switch, every system. Wiring issues can be time-consuming to diagnose. Make sure the inverter, generator, and shore power all work correctly.

Generator

Verify the generator starts easily and runs smoothly under load. Ask about maintenance history. Clogged fuel filters and ignition issues are common culprits when generators act up.

Tires

Check the manufacture date on all tires. RV tires should typically be replaced every 5-7 years regardless of tread depth. Factor replacement cost into your purchase decision if they're due.

Plumbing

Run water through every fixture and check underneath for leaks. Some owners have reported ABS pipe issues at glued joints. A thorough inspection now saves headaches later.

The good news: both of these coaches have been through RV Select's inspection process before being listed. But always do your own due diligence.

Final thoughts

The Newmar Dutch Star / Ventana 4369 is a proven floorplan that works beautifully for couples, retirees, and anyone who wants a luxury motorhome that doesn't compromise on livability. The bath and a half, king bed, and three-slide layout create a space that genuinely feels like home.

With two coaches available at different price points, you can choose based on your priorities. The 2016 Dutch Star offers incredible value with higher horsepower and mountain-friendly cooling. The 2021 Ventana brings modern technology, updated styling, and lower miles.

Either way, you're getting a Newmar, and that means quality construction, thoughtful design, and strong resale value.
