We have been working the last week designing and building a box to haul our large wooden tripods. We have had a similar box in the last two minivans and have hauled our tripods in this manner for the last 18 years or so. The box is made of plywood and covered with speaker carpet. It will haul 4 large Ries wooden tripods. We had to fabricate a custom base that attaches to the seat brackets in the floor of the NV. Here are a couple of photos of the finished install. There is one tripod in the lower left cell in the photo. There will be tripods in all four cells when traveling. www.jbhphoto.com

Exactly! We are currently designing a box that will hold our tripods. We have had a custom tripod box the last two minivans. I will post some photos as we progress. Right now it is mostly all CAD drawing. . .

We wanted a fully finished interior with A/C, lights and floor. Might have been able to order one without seats, but we did not want to wait 3-4 months. We placed a request with the dealer and they found exactly what we wanted, but we were stuck with the seats. Did one van custom interior years ago. . . I was much younger, do not have the time nor the patience. . . did it once, never again.

Thanks for stopping by our web site! We removed all of the seats. . . only two of us. The first row will be replaced with a custom tripod box that mounts to the floor hold-downs. Started working on that today. If anyone needs a full set of rear seats, let us know. . . we'll make you a deal.

We just picked up our 2016 NVP SV, V6, Arctic Blue Metallic, Gray Interior, Cloth Seats and Technology Package. We are traditional fine art photographers and this will be our traveling vehicle, replacing a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country that has taken us across the USA, more than once and is now retired for around town use. Looking forward to traveling the Desert Southwest with our large format cameras. Drop by our web site; www.jbhphoto.com JB & Susan Mutt & Jeff
