Navion RV Review

[@dawnross644]

Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong has happened to my RV. 18D. Probably would help if I had had a partner. Engine issues MB is crap, Def, refrigerator did not work, needed sway bars & shocks. Battery issues, backup camera quit working, awning wire issue…..exhaust system fell on highway driving down interstate & lodged between duallies. Nothing was bolted down properly. Check & inspect all that. I’ve put out a lot of $$$$. Glad you all have had a different experience.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this! We keep having issues too...the head unit just died so no radio or backup camera. Ugh. Hope things get better for you!

[@rv8-m948]

A really good, entertaining, informative, and useful video. Thanks!

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thanks! Stay tuned for a future long term review!

[@Thedailysideshow]

The Winnebago View 24v or the Itasca Navion 24v is the best designed class c rv that I’ve seen. Best mpg, sleep accommodations and overall design. It’s what I’m going to get someday soon.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

We agree! We're camping in ours right now! :) If you have any questions, let us know.

[@mrcharles4636]

What year is this?

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

The RV is 2015 that we bought used in 2020. 😀

[@judithyatesbesttruecrime2635]

Looking to purchase my 1st RV, and this is on my top choice list. I like how you throw in tips, like the the spring rods in the fridge. Do you prefer diesel to gas engine? I have never owned a diesel. Are slide-outs a hassle? I wasn't sure if I wanted one. Great review!

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

It's our first RV as well and we've been happy with diesel, although not every gas station has it, so that can be a hassle. We were also worried about the slide out, but it has been really easy to use, no issues. 😀

[@kristinag1610]

I love this rv thank you for showing it so awesome I want

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

There are definitely some deals out there. We bought ours used last year so it was 5 years old...

[@penguin36]

Hi, thank you for the detailed review. I am looking to purchase something similar. Could you tell me what's your MPG .

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Hey Julio, we get 14-15 mpg on average if we don't tow the car. We average 12.5 mpg when we tow.

[@nickmurabito5338]

Can you tell me more about the scan gauge. Where can I get one? What data does it show? We just bought a Navion 24G. Thanks.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Hey Nick, the previous owner installed it. You can customize what it shows while you drive. It's nice for reading codes on check engine lights.

[@matthewclark6990]

Looking at the 24d, really like the Murphy bed, any thoughts ? Thanks

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

We've not tried that one. We like the V because the bed can be a king or 2 long twins. We keep it as twins and keep a tray between us for drinks, cpap, etc. Also our beds are always ready...no slide needed to use them.

[@toddincabo]

Excellent walkthrough, thank you. What kind of mileage are you getting, I'm looking at a 24g.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thanks! We get 15 mpg without towing a car. When we tow, we get an average of 12.5 mpg.

[@toddincabo]

@@adventuresofkbp6823 Excellent, muchas gracias.

[@auroranite]

Its a year later that I’m viewing this tour. Are you still satisfied with your choice? Tks

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Aurora Nite Yes, we are very happy with the Navion and plan to do a long term review soon.

[@carlsteinbrecher5062]

Hi- my brother Paul is a friend of yours and told me to loom you up. We have a 2007 View and live in San Diego. Look us up when you come out here. Carl

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Will do! We plan to be at Santee Lakes campground end of March!

[@carlsteinbrecher5062]

@@adventuresofkbp6823 That's great. Coincidentally, we store our 2007 View in the covered storage at Santee Lakes. Would love to see you and trade notes / stories. We live just 15 minutes away. Maybe we can do a dinner. I'll see if I can somehow private message you my cell phone number.

[@firstlast-fc1yg]

Was that Santos bike trail in Ocala FL?

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Yeah, dropping into Papa Bear at Santos in the intro. Great place to mountain bike!! :)

[@jamesbondaygee]

Nice looking video. What was your average mileage?

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thanks! We get around 14-15 mpg without a tow vehicle. We get around 12-13 mpg pulling our 2013 Honda Fit.

[@oscarlove8085]

I really this one 😶need to know the price

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Oscar, bought this used 2015 Navion for $65k in January 2020 BEFORE COVID.

[@n0c4bl3]

Thank you! I was wondering if this model might be a fit for my family. All the other review videos I found did not cover as much as you did.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thank you, we have a few easy improvements we made coming up in our next video. We are wrapping up a 3 month trip now. If you have any questions let us know. :)

[@wildelorme4409]

Did you get the Beddy’s twin or twin XL?

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Twin extra long I think.

[@coreysolender4201]

Nice review! I am looking at a 17V with HWH jacks as well. Have you looked to see how to get the spare tire out? Thanks

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thanks Corey, the HWH jacks are AWESOME! Yes, I've pulled the tire change tools out to make certain everything is ready if needed. I've also reviewed the instructions to drop the spare down but have not tried it yet. We also have, "Coachnet" which is highly rated. The 17V is a great coach! We will have a "How To" maintenance video coming out soon. Cheers!

[@coreysolender4201]

Look forward to more videos. I am talking about the crossbar the hwh use that is in the way of the tire.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

@@coreysolender4201 Thanks I'll look into that!

[@johnygray2170]

Nice Presentation

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thanks Johny!

[@jasonpeters8651]

My wife and I really enjoyed your video walk through. Thank you We are buying a 24J while I am writing this. We wanted to buy in the off season to get the best deal. We have done a lot of research and found the Navion to be one of the best on the market.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thanks. Hope you are enjoying your new RV!

[@jeffj5039]

So nice! Bet you guys are going crazy since you'd probably be OTW out here right now :(

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

You got that right. Actually, we would already be there. :(

[@piniped]

Thanks, a good overall review.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Thanks. Let us know if there is anything in particular you would like to see in the future!

[@piniped]

​@@adventuresofkbp6823 We bought a 2016 NV Profile (no overhead bunk) last summer with the same exterior color (don't see many)! You review help make our decision on the "V". We're still waiting on the Covid vaccine to get out on long trips.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

@@piniped That's awesome! Thanks for letting us know. 😀 We spent 116 nights in ours last year and still think we made a great decision. We're hanging low right now as well but hope to be back on the road soon!

[@piniped]

@@adventuresofkbp6823We also joined the View/Navion FB group since... can't wait to get out there really camping... I've camped at Prairie Creek Redwoods years ago (in a tent) on Gold Bluff Beach and found myself surrounded by bachelor males strutting their stuff on the beach-I had to get into a jumble of redwood driftwood for safety! Beautiful critters.

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

@@piniped Wow! Elk I'm assuming? That had to be a little scary! Yeah, the View/Navion FB group is a great resource!

[@CallMeJackWagon]

Needs more cowbell...

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

As part of the shower scene?

[@bridhbb5487]

What couldn't use more cowbell?

[@Kathy-yi7xu]

is it diesel and is the engine loud

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

It is diesel and not very loud. Loudness is subjective so definitely go for a test ride!
