Catch a Sneak Peek at Winnebago's Upcoming 24T Floorplan for the Class C Navion and View

Folks, the name Winnebago has been a staple of camper and RV living for decades. The way they stayed alive in this business was basically by always staying ahead of the pack and listening to what potential buyers want, need, and are willing to pay for.

Well, I recently checked in with this crew only to find that they're currently unveiling two new floorplans for their View and Navion at the 2024 Florida RV SuperShow. Time to dive a tad deeper and see what's in store for this year's potential buyers of these Class C RVs.

Now, suppose you ever happen to come across Winnebago's website. In that case, you'll notice something strange: the View and Navion not only share the same starting price but also, as we explore the floor, we'll see no differences in the layout and possible features. In short, It's James Franco and his whole "Same-Same, but Different" bit. All that seems to differ between the two models are some light cosmetic and trim-level changes.

Currently, there are three available floorplans for the View and Navion: the 24D, 24J, and 24V, and all built upon the same beloved Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with a 188 hp turbo-diesel engine. The layout being added to the mix is the 24T, a unit that takes full advantage of one of my favorite features, the Murphy Bed.

That's right, folks; the Navion and View's 24T floorplan takes advantage of a growing trend in the RV world: the use of a Murphy bed. Why is this feature seeing such a growing presence in RVs and motorhomes? Simply because it's a sort of hide-a-bed, and only when you need it will it even be visible. Most of the time, it's masked as a wall along the port side of the units and accessible only once your slide-out is in place.

Considering that nothing but a new floorplan is being added to the lineup, it's safe to assume that the rest of the features mentioned on Winnebago's website will be in place, too. We'll get to some of those features and options shortly; for now, it's the 24T's turn.

Suppose you ever happen to make it across the manufacturer's website. In that case, you'll notice that the current floorplans available to the Navion and Flex are typically designed to accommodate quite a number of guests; with the cab-over bunk, a family of six can use these RVs.

The 24T, on the other hand, seems to only be suitable for a family of four. Heck, if you and your significant other plan on living year-round out of the 24T, that cab-over bunk space will most likely be used for more of your personal belongings or a pet.

One aspect that I enjoyed about the new floorplan is the way Winnebago shifted the entire living space to the front of the unit while reserving the rear for features such as a massive bathroom with separate features and a wardrobe.

As for the living space itself, be sure to check out how the manufacturer integrated the galley features around the unit, with a cooking block and sink to one side of the RV and the fridge and dinette along the other, the latter of which, can also be used as a wonderful workspace in case you need to squeeze in some extra hours at work.

Also, during daytime activities, hiding in front of the Murphy Bed, two recliners, or a sofa are available to kick back and enjoy some TV, entertain guests, or just catch up on some reading. Once the sun sets, this space is to be your bedroom.

Now, according to the manufacturer's website, the renderings we see are only here for informational purposes, for the most part. However, a few aspects of the design I'd love to see carried through into production are the way the galley is arranged and those hidden storage cabinets that are only revealed once the Murphy bed has been lowered.

As for the rest of this story, it's important to note that mobile habitats like this one are often designed to keep you moving around the US year-round. This means that future owners can still look forward to the same outstanding features of previous generations the Navion and Flex have displayed.

I'm talking about winterized plumbing and drainage, solar panels and generators, all the heating and cooling you'd ever need, and all the other little creature comforts needed for a full indoor and outdoor life. Be sure to think about all the toys and utensils you can stuff in all those little cargo bays tattered all over the exterior of these units. A ladder denotes a fully walkable roof, too.

For the remainder of your time with us, take a moment and kick back, all the while picturing yourself in the possession of such a machine. What would you do with it? Where would you go? What memories could you create, and most importantly, who will you be creating them with? The rest is in your hands; Winnebago just gives you the tools to do it all.
