2016 Navion/View Comfort

I am debating between the 24M and the 24J.

We did not find the u shaped dinette/coach in the J comfortable. With the foot rests up, there was no back support. If you sat at the back, the back rest hit you in the middle of the back. For those of you that have that model, what do you do to make it better?

The 2016 has a new coach/bed system. There is no air bed on top. Is there an easy way to make that bed comfortable?
  • The only time we sit at our dinette is to eat and the odd bit of computer work. For relaxing we use the cab seats rotated aft. We have the older style right angle dinette.
  • G'day! We have a '14 View Profile 24G. We don't have a handy Itasca dealer near us but did look at the several "24" series varieties. While not exactly, there are basic similarities between the 'W' and 'I' brands in lay out. The 'G' scored higher in appeal due to no 'dinette' and the walk around, slide out queen-ish bed in the rear. We don't do formal dining..... tray tables suffice..its camping right? The M & J types seemed to take up a lot of interior space when closed up. The 'M' sleeping arrangements remind me of our old Class B.... Bolsters & cushions over top the the multi use table top. That got to be a PITA every day twice a day. The corner bed 'J' is not so appealing as someone has to crawl over their mate to get in and out...then there's Pups...they don't approve....


    The 'G' has a sofa over fold up bed in the side slide out. It is comfortable enough for sitting a couple hours at night (must share with pups). The driver and passenger seats can be raised to maximum height and will pivot 180 and face the 'day room'. They have a million adjustments. If I were to make a change on them, they could raise up an inch or two higher. Wife uses a WallyWorld plastic fold up side table and a pillow as an ottoman with the sofa.

    Not sure if you can do anything to improve things seating wise...they are what they are. .... Better to make a better purchase.
