    The dual post mirrors are extendable, all years. The single post mirrors are not.

    I have read several posts from owners looking for the replacement small lower convex mirror for the tow extendable style. I do not know what years the extendable tow mirror was available so I posted this as fitting the 2018, which is what I have. I found one on amazon that fits perfectly: Burco 3943 https://www.amazon.com/2012-2016-NISSAN-NV1500-Passenger-Replacement/dp/B0134QC73O This is for the replacement glass convex mirror and the foam adhesive pads only. No black plastic swivel mounting plate included. It is a real glass mirror, not a plastic mirror. The description does not indicate right or left, tow style or even fitting a 2018 year. It will fit correctly for both the left or right sides. The instructions state that it can be installed on top of the existing glass, or by completely removing the broken glass first. I installed mine on top of the existing glass since mine was only cracked. If I was to do it again, I would remove the old mirror glass first so the mirror would be recessed into the backing plate for a cleaner install. There ya go.

    Hi Diane, I don't think this qualifies as being "near" but I am about 5 hours North in Bellingham. I can give you a hand on installing, not interested in payment. I know there are multiple van conversion companies in the Portland area that could do the job and you would probably breakeven on the expense versus gas money to come here. Hope you are able to find someone closer. I do recommend installing the swivel, it adds to the comfort of the van when "hanging out".

    wow Andy, thank you so much for your prompt reply and your kind permission. I will put up your pictures on my website, www.niwashigoto-hiroba.com If you will, please let me know your contact so I send you a small reward? Thank you again! Chizuko Yamamoto

    Is there anybody near Portland Oregon that would install my swivel seat in my 2017 Nissan NV high top? I will pay you for the service and buy the parts!! While you guys seem to have agreed it's not too difficult it would be a huge challenge for me. Please and thank you!!

    After reading the previous posts on installation of the Discount Van Truck swivel seat I went ahead and ordered one. It was delivered on time and came with a one page installation sheet that wasn't much help. Really appreciate the previous posts explaining how they accomplished their installations. Very helpful. As suggested, I removed the entire seat assembly to gain easier access. I did have to trim the side plastic trim as others have mentioned but other than that no mods were needed and it all went back together fairly easily. Perhaps they have recently redesigned the unit since some of the previous posts mentioned further mods were needed. The hardest part of the job was reconnecting the underseat wiring harness because of limited access. The wires are long enough to still reach with the swivel installed but not by much. It all seems to work ok except for the effort it takes to rotate the seat. It is very stiff. I have tried spraying in some lubricant between the two swivel rotating plates. Hoping with further use it will loosen up a bit. Have others found this to be an issue?

    Hello Andy, My name is Chizuko, and I distribute Sun-Mar toilets to Japan. I just found your pictures of the GTG toilet model look very nice. It would help my customers see how it looks when installed in a RV. I wonder if you can give us your permission to use the photos of your GTG toilet for our distributing purpose, i.e. website, catalogue, blog, etc. I am willing to pay a small compensation. Thank you!

    New post on Sportsmobile forum. Allstate in Colorado no longer insures RVs, camper (trailers?) and camper vans May be restricted to Colorado and vans registered as RVs (certified), not diy van conversions. Current insurance remains in effect but will not renewed. American Family, no specific location, also stopped insuring RVs, giving 30 day notice to current policy holders. Progressive continues to insure RVs for now per post. As an aside regarding diy van conversions, you may have limited coverage, a certain $ amount over the current value of a cargo van. Anything conversion above that amount may not be covered.

    I love that drop down tailgate table! Such a great addition. I’d love to hear about your 1 click removable captains chairs and the bed you use for your front seats. Trying to maximize seating and sleeping in the N6!

    The problem with the VW was unreliable reliability. Most of the time, no problems. Never stranded. Speed/power and MPGs weren’t a strong points. Our NV has been reliable, plus it just is a more capable van. Met a “large” guy in a rented VW Weekender van. He looked at our NV and the VW, and he was overcome with nostalgia for a VW of his own. (That reminds me, I would have loved to own the ‘67 VW van with 911 Porsche engine and chrome wheels. VW nostalgia.)

    That's killer. There's a place up near Belfast that specializes in those things, if you get up there and want to reminisce. It's a younger guy that owns it, but you'd think he was in the thick of it in the 50s and 60s from talking to him and picking his brain about VWs. Must have come out breathing them and cut his teeth on shop manuals instead of nursery rhymes.

    Found this photo in a box my parents had. Crossed the country several times to see them when they lived on Cape Cod. May have made it to Kittery, Maine. Forecast was warm and sunny. Used our ‘83 VW as a base camp on a short backpacking/day hike trip in northern New Mexico. Second night out, torrential rain. Able to dry things out until it started snowing. Headed back to van. Same floor plan as our NV, so it was a no brainer when decide to return to van camping.

    Ah man. Yah we missed Maine this year too....first summer we missed it since I started going in 2014. Beautiful country up that way.

    Thanks. One more dream, long trip in the works? Since we had to cut our last trip short due to my getting sick, we still have to make it to Maine. (Clan gathering in July.) Once there, we may look at Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Quebec. All we need are 2 spare tires…so they say. Went to high school in Sept-Iles, Quebec. The road ended there at the time. Always wanted to head west on the Trans Canada Highway. My other dream trip was the Pan American highway. Did the northern part, but the southern is out of reach.

    eyyyyyy Happy belated.

    Old post. We had the opposite problem. Thought we lost a key and fob. Ordered new key and fob from dealer and had them reprogram it. We now have 3 keys and fobs. One fob unlocks/locks but the key won’t start the van. Fits fine in ignition but nothing happens when you turn the key. This key manually works in the locks. The others work fine except don’t manually work the locks. When camping, we leave the ignition-less key outside the van… You can imagine what I said when I unknowingly tried this key in the ignition when we on the other side of nowhere. Saw a sign that Ace will program keys.

    Thanks. Happy New Year! Turned 77 in November, so it may be time to buy a motor coach and hit the resorts and casinos. I don’t think so… Trip #54 was a short one to Chiricahua National Monument for my birthday. About 15 Coati Mundis joined us. Mexican Blue Jays sat on the Coleman stove lid to see what was cooking. Site #4 for those interested. Can’t see how they are going to turn this into a National Park.

    No plans, but that’s typical. Urge to pack up and go can happen any time. Usually follows “Anywhere you want to go.” No tornado alley, however, as we had enough warnings, watches and flooding this past May.

    Congrats on the 50th and Happy New Year.

    I believe you need to have someone program them, and I think that's a dealership trip in this day and age.
