  1. What did you use for mounting the awning to the roof?
  2. If they installed new struts in the front they could have bumped the alignment out of spec and you might need to go get it done.
  3. I had people pretty much fighting over mine it seemed like. Constant offers at or around my asking price. I think everyone wants to get out this year and vans have been selling like crazy. I haven't decided to accept any offers since I'd also like to travel a little this year with it. Also Nissan did end the production. I remember when I still worked for them in 2018 they were saying they were going to but I still chose to buy one knowing they were the best built.
  4. I cant believe how easy it is to fit 35s on these vans, most vans have issues trying to fit 31-33" tires.
  5. This sounds like a case of dealer playing stupid. To have enough weight to cause that problem would probably make your van not able to drive. I'd try to find another dealer. Plus this doesn't seem like a common problem anyways.
  6. What 2" lift did you install?
  7. Figured I'd finally add some pics of my van since the upload feature is working great now.
  8. When in doubt use eBay! This is the one i ordered. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Webasto-Eberspacher-Heater-Part-Universal-Fuel-Tank-Stand-Pipe/192623638065?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 You can shop around and find others that are similar designs also. You should put loctite on the threads for it and you'll have to trim it to be shorter since they come universal.
  9. I was saying you shouldn't drill the tank because if there's any issues you'd have to replace the whole tank instead of the sending unit, plus it can lead to cracking. So install it into the sending unit. If you look at my picture that was the best spot that didn't interfere with any wires or the metal plate that sits on top of the sending unit. Also you'll need to order a webasto fuel tap like the one in the picture. The one that comes with the heaters are meant for big rigs.
  10. Yeah I pulled it, I'm still thinking about selling it because I wanted to build another but its too good to let go and I'm feelin pretty lazy right now haha. You should be able to click and download the other images. Theres 4 total.
  11. Hey there, The campervan radin2son was talking about is actually mine! Theres only a number of NV's in the country that have installed them and actually one of them at a van builder did it incorrectly. I did mine myself with the intention of doing a write up for this site. I'll see if I can attach photos. But I purchased a Webasto STC and installed it under the passenger seat (yes I also have a swivel so it'll fit no problem). You will have to remove the sliding tray mount to make room for it. Remove the seat and fold back the carpet. There will be a somewhat large flat spot you can install it in. You will not need a bracket or gasket doing it this way since its direct mount to the metal floor. You will drop the gas tank which is held by 2 tank straps. Make sure you drive until empty when you do this or close to it, I was able to do it at 1/8th but it was a heavy sob. Once dropped I cleaned the outside of the tank and remove the sending unit. Look at the pictures and see where I installed the tap. I believe this to be the only spot on the sending unit. Do not use the tap that comes with the webasto, its meant for metal tanks. Also dont drill the plastic gas tank, it will lead to cracking in the future. Update Dec 2021: I see a lot of people overthinking this install and not understanding that it fits or needing more pictures. I do not own the van anymore but the pictures are fairly straight forward. This is a gas model Webasto installed under the passenger seat, also under the swivel seat. No clearance issues. I found the flattest spot where the surface area of Webasto exhaust could fit. You can see its towards the middle/transmission tunnel of the van but still in that belly area underneath the passenger seat.. Air intake is pointing towards the dashboard. You have to scrape the floor deadening off with something like a flathead and hammer. Match up the top area where you'll drill with the underside to double check you won't drill into anything. There's isn't really much in that area. The Webasto comes with all necessary instructions. Use the rubber grommet that installs onto the exhaust for a stencil to drill the holes. Hit the fresh metal with some white paint after cutting holes and install the heater. You'll need fuel grade hose for the heater to run it into the sending unit of the fuel tank. I also wrapped my hose in a higher temp plastic conduit to protect from any road debris. I ran my fuel line with the fuel pump down the passenger frame rail, across the frame/transmission support area, then down the driver side frame rail. Fuel pump was installed on the driver side within the required distance from the tank. When in doubt read the instructions or find a sprinter heater install for a cross reference.
  12. What size is your bed? Like this style layout since I've seen in Sprinters but not an NV.

      Sorry for the slow response, but its a full size bed. I really like the set up as it still allows me to load a couple bikes inside for running shuttles or hauling extra kayaks!

  13. Probably a brake booster. I've seen some models have this problem randomly. Definitely not something common.
