The two holes with the wire mesh, they are not stock. Not sure where they go. The paint brush skirting at the bottom isn't stock either, never seen that one before. -
The “penthouse” or poptop will be hard to replace in a new(er) NV or some other van. Colorado Van possibly will do it for $15k or so. They may still have a kit if you are comfortable with cutting a very large hole. Same for Quigley. Too costly to add to another van. Both are reason enough to keep it unless you want/need a high, fixed roof. Or if no one sleeps on top. There are plenty of diy posts here to give you some ideas.

We have a 2012 N6 and after 3 years are considering trading in vs a bit of a rebuild. We have added lithium and solar which get us several days off grid for our fridge and basic electric usage. Especially if we drive a bit and it’s sunny. Wondering if anyone has added a maxfan or a heater- we are hoping to insulate when we remove everything. But also wondering if moving to a new van would be easier. Hard to give up a beast as ours has a quigley and only 100,000 miles, we’ve added 50 of those since we bought.

Solution found: Reese 37042 “Universal Hitch” is an easy mod to fit. You will have to cut the brackets (to raise it for better ground clearance). Otherwise it’s very adjustable and bolts for tow hooks line up perfectly. Flip the receiver portion upside down also for clearance. cut bumper 8”x 6” (without removing bumper)and re-drill license plate to mount directly to OEM mount Only $168 ++ from Auto Zone currently or look on Craigslist/Market place for a used one. One of the attached photos shows what vehicles it fits

Smelling Freon? Are you sure you are not smelling antifreeze? If you are smelling freon you have a big leak and it will be empty in minutes.

A friend of mine showed me this trick where you just slide the exhaust tip or make it so the tip of the exhaust is just slightly out from under the cab, this projects the sound and energy outwards instead of under and reduces or removes sound inside and any kind of rattle.

Thanks crusty, I'm going to run some dye in it and hopefully find exactly where it was leaking, but being I'm smelling Freon out of the vents and have constant wet front passenger carpet, I'm thinking its the evaporator. Do I need to pop off the plastic pieces to get to the dash bolts to take it off as a whole unit? I'd much rather take seats and center console out than all the dash pieces individually. Thanks for the insight, I was hoping someone would have a better idea than what I've read about taking all the individual items off. -
If it is just the expansion valve at the evaporator, that can be done from under the hood. If it really is the evaporator core itself, take out the seats glovebox, and center console. Unhook the electrical on both pillars, A-pillar trim. steering shaft. Couple bolts on each side of the dash beam to the pillars. Probably a few more hidden bolts. Take the whole dash out in one piece. Just like how it was built, but backwards. Trying to take the dash apart layer by layer ends up being harder, you take more apart, and way harder to put it back together correctly. The original engineering was for it to be built in one piece, just follow that.

2015 NV 3500 has a leak at the evaporator. I’ve looked through all the posts and I don’t see where anyone has posted how they have done this replacement. I can’t seem to find anything helpful on the internet on dismantling the dash, other than for the radio, which I have done. Anyone have any advice for how to get to the evaporator to replace it? I have a manifold gauge and vacuum and have replaced other A/C components on my other vehicle, I just wanted to see what I was up against before I tackle taking apart the whole dashboard on our van. Thanks for your help! -

Hey Dan, I’m about to replace my evaporator as well. Did you get any solutions to your problem that could be helpful for us?
