Great question. Let's revive this discussion! I've been doing mine by hand but here in Texas by the time I get one side washed the other side dries and vice versa, even with my kids helping. My enthusiasm for keeping it clean has been hampered by life with a new baby as well as the Texas summer. I'd love to be able to use an automated car wash. The last place I called had a clearance of 7', which I think is exactly the height of the van so I didn't go. Better safe than sorry. But sadly that means I went a good 5 months since washing. :(

I'm looking for a good car organizer, the kind that hangs on the back of the seat. Most I've seen have a bottom strap that goes around the seat in front of you. Well our seats are in packs of two. Are there any that would work to go on the back of the second and third row seats in the NV? Looking at something like this: EPAuto Premium Car Backseat Organizer for Baby Travel Accessories, Kids Toy Storage, Back Seat Protector / Kick Mat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017RZ918W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6n8HxbHTP4T96

Any hope for a GPS update? The GPS on my 2015 NV is horrendous. But I still prefer to have my GPS running on the large screen on my dash than on my phone in my hand. Any hopes for an updated card that would run something closer to Google Maps?

I'm not happy with gas mileage so far, either. Bought a 2015 3500 V8 SL in August. We are at 3500 miles and only getting around 11 MPG. (Mix of city/highway driving, not aggressive on the gas & breaks, no high roof) I know there's no official mpg rating for these commercial vans but before buying, everything I could find said 13-19 MPG for the NV, so 10-11 is quite disappointing.

All these layouts are really helpful. We are expecting baby #5 in two months and I am still trying to figure out the best spot for her infant seat.
