Best ways to purchase a used RV?
Hi there! After going back and forth about our various options for months, my husband and I have a rough plan in place and we've started saving money! We are heavily leaning towards a small class C. I...

The OP needs to be searching for both Winnebago View and Itasca Navion, they are the same MH with different names.
Be aware that 2006 and 2007 Views are built on 2005 and 2006 Sprinter chassis (respectfully) and this is the T1N Sprinter with the 5 cylinder 2.7L diesel engine (most easily identified to the uninitiated by the single air inlet below the windshield). These have a 158 inch wheelbase.
2007 and later Sprinter chassis (not coach year, but chassis year) are known as the NCV3 and are easily spotted by the larger grill and two separate air inlets below the windshield. These are equipped with a 3.0L V6 diesel engine, and have a 170 inch wheelbase, a foot longer than the earlier models.
2008 View is on a 2007 chassis
2009 View is on a 2008 chassis
2010 View is also generally on a 2008 chassis
It is possible to find a 2008 View on a 2007 Chassis with a 3.5L gasoline engine, they are rare and usually do not command as much money as a diesel, and still get around 12 to 13 mpg.
If you want the rear corner bed you want a J model. They MAY have the cab over bed, or may have the optional storage cabinets over the cab.
The H model has a cab over bed as the primary bed, with a jackknife couch and a dinette that both convert into beds.
Both the H and J have slide outs. The couch on the H is the slideout, and the dinette on the J is the slideout.
It is also possible to find a 2007 View (2006 chassis) with bunk beds in the rear, and either the cab over bed or storage cabinets optionally. It has NO slideout.

On RVtrader I found 52 Views of all models from 2006 to 2010 and 29 different Navions for the 2006 to 2010 models. I found three that listed the gas engine. Problem is the dealers now call it the "rare gas motor" to justify a higher price. No bunk bed models are currently listed.
