interesting, I see they put a 4 burner stove in a small unit. I think most of ours are 2 or 3?

Yes 4 burners are common, complaint usually is a bigger bench top could be offered. What is interesting Scott the presenter and his wife were part of a tour group that I took around a historic car display in a Museum. He was genuinely impressed and gave me his card. He said he could not do what I did as he had to stick to the script.

AAFD: Now have 60,000 miles on the Navion IQ 24G. No problems at all with the rear Queen slide.
We have a memory foam topper and always leave the bed made up. If you pull the rear foam section up above the front section just a little on each side before you retract the slide, it will fold up easily without the need to remake the bed. When extended, simply push the entire mattress back against the rear wall. Hope this helps. The Next Hill

Been considering a Navion at some point (we have a new, big dog, could use more space) and always liked the idea of that queen. But changed my thinking to the fixed twin beds recently. We looked at a video of how the bed has to fold when the slide is in.

The idea of leaving the twins made up all the time much more appealing. One less slide, too, less weight. Saw a new one friends bought and it's beautiful, gets great mpg.

When we were looking I originally wanted the V and my wife wanted the G. One day I looked at both side by side and realized that the V is much smaller than the G due to it's lack of the 3' slide extension in the rear. That's why we bought the G.

looked at one, the winnie version, the bed slide stumped me and found out the base stays put and only the top slides forward. and no can't leave it made up.
I'd choose another model myself.

I've been leaving mine made up since I got it. No problem at all.

Would like to know if anyone has this unit, any issues? How does the rear queen bed retract with the mattress?

I've had mine for a few months now. The Queen bed is in two pieces and one will ride up on top of the other when the slide is retracted. We added a 2nd non-sliding mattress on top of the original and have no problems with that being folded up when retracting the slide.

Were did you see the video on the bed folds up?

You might look through Lichtsinn's YouTube videos as they made a demo of the 24G/IQ bed setup a year or so ago...

Yep, I think that was the source.

I did see it, I also found some other videos as well. Thanks

We have the 2013 Navion iQ G24 and love it. It takes one minute to make up or take down the bedding. We keep a 3" memory foam on the bed matTress which we pull over itself from back to front with the bedding. The small rear mattress pulls forward over the bedding. We have had occasion to have another person sleep on the sofa bed and with the privacy curtain felt very private on the rear queen bed.

Thank you,
