The 2009 Navion was built on a 2008 Dodge Sprinter.

The two year difference is due to Winnebago using a MB Sprinter chassis built in 09/2016 and adding a 2017 Navion coachwork completed the second quarter of 2017. Nothing about it is 2018 if you go by the specs.
Sorry, I misread what you wrote. My 2006 chassis T1N based '07 View has a wide open filler neck and a large, high flow truck nozzle easily goes in, but I hate them as they cause much foaming of the fuel. I generally seek out diesel at the auto pumps and stay away from the truck pumps. Sometimes in rural areas you can get stuck with the large nozzle however.
