Itasca Navion iQ 24G

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.

thanks for the info

Been considering a Navion at some point (we have a new, big dog, coukd use more spae) 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.

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...

Another reason we no longer have our IQ is that when the wind blew when you are trying to sleep, you would get vibrated up and down, and hear the slide topper flopping right above your head.

We always used Travasaks, (twins) with no bedding on the bed. We hate making up the bed every time it's sleepy time. The saks would just fold in half, then we'd manually pull the far back mattress up partially onto the front one to kinda start the process, then let the slide do the work finishing up the placement of the rear mattress over the front as it pulled in. Easy process but required someone to be watching things as it came in.

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.

We had the forerunner to the 24G, the IQ model. The bed has a split mattress that rides up on itself making a 2 layer mattress when brought in. It takes some fiddling with by hand to get it to work the way designed. No sleeping on it when going down the road. Only one person can sleep on it crosswise when the slide is in.
If we were to buy another, we'd probably look at the 24V instead of the 24G.

You can’t leave any bedding on it when you retract it?
