2026 Class A comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
Both 44-foot Class A diesel pushers run Cummins L9 power but trade off in opposite directions on layout. The Holiday Rambler Armada 44B is 44 feet on Freightliner XCM Custom Chassis with Cummins L9 (380-450 HP, 1,150-1,250 lb-ft), four slides, 43,600 lb GVWR, bunkhouse layout, full bath, mixed bed, 8,000-watt generator, 2,000-watt inverter, 100W solar, sleeps 8, AquaHot 400D propane-free heating, $536,908. The Newmar Ventana 4369 is 43.83 feet on Spartan or Freightliner tag-axle with Cummins L9 400 HP, three slides, 46,000 lb GVWR, bath-and-a-half, king bed, 9,100 lb cargo capacity, four-season insulation, 10,000-watt generator, 800 amp-hour batteries, sleeps 6, $551,000.
The Armada 44B is the only one of the two with a bunkhouse - meaningful for multi-generational travelers needing the dedicated bunks plus the eight-person sleep count. It also gets four slides expanding the interior beyond the Ventana's three. The Ventana 4369 brings bath-and-a-half privacy, tag-axle 46,000 lb GVWR (2,400 lb more), 9,100 lb published cargo, four-season insulation, the bigger 10,000-watt generator, and the 800 amp-hour battery bank.
Verdict: Armada 44B for family bunkhouse sleeping 8 with four slides at $14,092 less; Ventana 4369 for bath-and-a-half plus tag-axle chassis with higher GVWR.
