  1. Could be that it's summer or perhaps the Community experience is a lot richer on the Facebook forums NV owners, NV family and I think there's one more. Much easier to post photos and Links at least from a mobile device. Just my two cents, hope everybody's doing well and having a good summer kids go back to school now; travel well everyone Labor Day is coming soon
  2. Average is 12.3 according to the ACar app powered by fuelly. Best was 15.3 miles to the gallon on a long trip worst was 8.3 this weekend Towing this little 6,500 lb. guy. Keystone Bullet 311bhs.
  3. Miss my skid plate saved us rebar going through the fuel tank on my Expedition definitely would like to get one after being under the NV noticing there's no protection under there at all
  4. Strange but it happened to me on the driver side also. Not on an adventure but at the carwash. the guides that direct your tires to go down the track rubbed the brackets on the driver's side step. I got them straight again and now I know what to watch out for.
  5. Any in-channel options? I prefer to not stick it to the outside.
  6. I had a similar experience and after the paint peeled off the brackets used gorilla two-sided heavy duty foam tape that will hold up to 30 lb it hasn't come off yet but it is starting to slowly peel away. What I'll do now is gently warm up the plastic material and flex it a little bit to relieve some of that pressure.

    Did you have to modify the bulbar to get it to fit on the NV or do they make one for the NV 3500?
  8. Here is Beastie all hooked up Sunday. Tekonsha P2 controller and the husky sway control system. Not too bad.
  9. I attached it behind the left side of the rear bumper. It sounds like a garbage truck backing up early in the morning.
  10. you're best off leaving the stock rear camera hooked up to the head unit I couldn't Trace which wires go into the head unit I'm replacing my rear view mirror with one that has two built-in monitors one will be for the travel trailer when I'm towing it and the other one will be a front view so I know where the nose is
  11. After 5175 mi. my best gas mileage is 13.89
  12. Stealership, nice one Bamps. First-aid-kit,basic tool kit basic roadside emergency kit with flares tire inflator water about it
  13. We had Beastie in Florida for spring break a few weeks ago 85° Sunny with a black van I was concerned but we were able to keep it cool and I've got five kids and they have a lot of hot breath so no fogging issues make sure you're not on recirculate and everything's fine for mine so far

    REmoving the dash bottom isn't necessary to get to the head unit but here is what it looks like when you do

    Here is where you plug the factory connector into the prewired block
  20. Happy update on my issue, It wasn't Beastie's fault. The 7-to-4 pin connector I had was faulty, the ground was corroded. Replaced it with a new one before we left and all works as planned. Next project... Install my brake controller before the end of April
  21. We saw a black NVP traveling Northbound on I-75 Friday. If you saw us. Say hello.
  22. Good morning I followed the modification manual to pull out the headliner and then mounted the DVD players to the cross-members through the center you can't put them on the side like that one picture shows with the guy with the four because they maybe too close to the side airbag curtain. I'll upload pictures and I don't have any video because I did it before spring break, I'll remember to shoot some video when I do the third one. The tricky part is with the dome lights there's a retaining ring that snaps on from the back and if you don't remove the whole headliner it's very difficult to get your arm in there and snap it back on. if there was a way to post pictures right from your phone to these Forum posts that be sweet but I haven't found out how to do that I've uploaded everything to the cloud and I'll have to do it from my PC
  23. Beastie still searches at 1200 to 1500 RPMs just finished a 2500 mile round-trip spring break to Florida and got a Max of 13.8 miles per gallon taking it into the dealer Friday for an oil change and for them to put on what appears to be a gear shift lever guide, it's white nylon with notches on it and that's a little unnerving. Other than that I couldn't be happier with the NV comparing it to a 2009 Ford Expedition EL Limited that I traded in this is a great upgrade for us
  24. Welcome aboard D and congratulations I've had our 2017 3500 NVP SL HD for a few months now and I added the Luverne running boards that ASD dad has I agree they are Rock Solid I got the aluminum black. With five kids it is easier for them to get in and out plus my wife likes it as well. You should also consider adding overhead entertainment I've got two boss 10.1" DVD systems in place I'm going to add a third. The first two are hooked in Tandem and play through the stereo it's a pretty sweet setup we're also going to use our Roku on it with Wi-Fi. Other additions for us included a roof rack that I can put my Sears x-cargo on as well as a Thule hitch mounted cargo holder, side molding and a front hood protector
