The optional equipment is full body paint, auto leveling, the diesel generator (normal is an LP generator), lithium batteries, dual pane acrylic windows, and theater seats (instead of dinette). It comes standard with some driver assist technology. The lower storage in the middle (same place on driver and passenger side) has a small pass-through. The wardrobe/storage in the bathroom has a “false floor” and can be removed to make a larger storage area that is accessible through the shoulder level outside door on the camp side of the unit. My wife and I currently have a 2022 Ford E-450 series Class C motorhome (driver assist technology is required for us now). Winnebago has the driver assist technology in their Ford E-series motorhomes and the Sprinter Class Cs. We went to look at a Minnie Winnie that has an identical floorplan to what we have now. We saw the Navion/View and also took it for a test drive. It was a night and day difference. Comparatively speaking, the E-series units are load. You need to speak loudly to carry on a conversation with the “co-pilot” and forget about talking (without yelling) to anyone behind the cab. The Navion/View was quiet and the driver could carry on a conversation with the person in the passenger seat and someone sitting in the dinette. The Navion/View also handles much better. At the campsite, the cab seats can swivel to face the cab and some have a small pedestal table that can be set up. We figured we could sleep 6 (maybe 7 if kids are smaller), but you can only transport 4.
Look at the yellow weight label. I’m pretty sure the CCC (Cargo Capacity) is less than 1000 lbs. Subtract a full tank of water, approximately 400 lbs, and you’re left with 600 lbs. Subtract your body weights, now you’re down to 300 lbs of of clothes, food, and camping gear. I suggest you look at a little bit bigger 25’ on a Ford Super Duty chassis. Happy Travels.
@@NavyAviationVeteranRVer Yes, two companies, thus far, have begun assembling on the 4500 chassis. It has stronger axels to handle the load of the higher OCCC, and surprisingly a much wider curb to curb turning radius on the same 170 wheelbase, 44' vs 52'. But the big issue is towing as both have the same GCWR of 15250 that the chassis/drivetrain will support. The higher OCCC raises the GVWR to 12125 (rather than 11020 on the 3500) which subtracted from the GCWR results in a tow capacity of 3125lbs.
@@BrazenBrits WRONG! That is the hitch rating, which is good as it can handle the tow capacity when the next lower class hitch (3500lb) couldn't. GCWR-GVWR=4220lbs which is the tow rating. Confusing hitch rating with tow rating is quite common, but they are not the same, and it is always the lowest number in the towing system.
@@BrazenBrits I just had an idea… we have an inTech OVR Navigate travel trailer that is 27’. It does not have office space, but the Adventure model could have it. It’s a 27’ toy hauler travel trailer and the toy hauler portion could be converted/used however you wish. 🤔
We've very much enjoyed our small B+/C for it's ease of parking, boondocking ect but it's very cramped when parked especially traveling with a large dog. Probably wouldn't go with one so small if I were you guys. Take care and good luck finding the perfect one for your way of travel.
Great tour video guys. Definitely a good Whizzer rig but not big enough and on the high side with price. When you look at what you could buy for that money with a good used A class it doesn’t make sense.
Thank you for the tour of this Navion. It’s nice! It’s not bad! Love the tours you are doing. How did you like it? Great review you did on this one. Cant wait yo see whatever you get. I’m rooting for you to find the one that’s right for you! Have a great day and week and see you soon! 😊
Mini C! 😂 But these dam things are big enough to easily be called a C anyways. Stupid salesman pitches. 🙄 Crazy expensive. But i'm not a winnabago fan anymore. They aren't the quality they use to be. Fun to look at lol. Oh your audio is still excellent with all the background noise. 🍻
@@BrazenBrits read the fine print what exactly is warranted lol. Nobody does a head to toe full warranty for 10 years. Don't be fooled by lines like that. 🍻
Our 2017 Navion 24J has every option except auto level because it's 300 lb. Leveling a short rig not a big deal. The OCCC is a big deal and 300 lb is a big takeaway. We are almost at 1,300 lb OCCC.

There are 2 places to put desk tables. One in front of the MB couch and the other in front of the front seats.
There is one way to get Laurence out of bed in the morning with a push of a button! Great video!!
@@deanwebster 😂 great idea
Sad no light in the cabinet under the sink 😢. Great video, and that is a cool class b!

Actually, a lot of companies have switched from the Mercedes 3500 to the 4500. OCCC goes from 809 to over 2200. The 25 Thor Delano uses the 4500.
You can also only tow 5000lbs I believe which isn’t great

@@larrygray1557 Ahh ok that makes sense, cheers Larry 👍
Brinkley 3515. Whatever you get it needs an office:)
I recently bought a Watchdog because of you.
I’m glad we could be of service 😂 we do love the brinkleys ❤
Remember, Mercedes is also Freightliner. So you can take it a Freightliner dealer for service. Maybe not RV parts.
i would not count on that. Many Freightliner dealers do not (no longer) work on MB- badged Sprinters
We love our class c, 31 ft!! Totally enough room. The best thing is if I have to go to the bathroom while Ruben is driving 😅 I can!!
Wait till we start test driving 😂😜
@@BrazenBrits I remember those days 😅 can’t wait!!!
Most companies use the old Mercedes 3500 chassis. Thor Delano starting in 2025 uses the 4500, so the occc goes from 809 to over 2200.
I loved RVing in a class C (never had a B plus). So many great things to love.
It’s definitely nimble!
That's the one we were looking at before we bought our Class A. I can honestly say I would look at it again!
If it was just a tad bigger for a desk it would be a contender for sure!
Very interesting! I’m really liking these tours of different types of rigs!
Glad you like them Kathy, were certainly not professionals but it’s fun to RV shop & compare

Yeah I think this is a tad small for the long trips we do 😊
I really liked that, you could take dinette out and put desk- breakfast bar. ❤
Great idea!! We are not fans of dinettes anyway!
Self leveling is an option. It's at the entrance if it's on it
Good to know 👍
😊😊😊😊

It was lovely just no office space 👎 did like the nimbility factor!
@@BrazenBrits
That’s what I was thinking too!
Great Review, tiny bit small if you want to work
Yeah and it’s a priority for Laurence’s calls and work station really
I think y’all should buy it
@@deanwoodard4830 may be a TAD bit small! But we’re learning 😄

Have you looked at a Primetime avenger 25mko? Looks like it might check quite a few of your boxes.
Wow that is a nice rig! No office space but good tv placement and good entertaining area 👍
You don't need to remove the cushions on the couch to put that Murphy bed down
Didn’t know that! Thankyou 🙏
