@radin2son I envision staying at sites w/ hookups in summer (AC) and the shoulder seasons (spring & fall) here in New England where heat could be needed. Now I'm starting to have second thoughts about the Webasto and considering ceramic & 12 volt electric blanket...much to be said about keeping things simple.

@Local Apparent Friday Yes, saw that the ceramic heaters are electric...so I'd need to be hooked-up to a shore power or generator to use one. I'm familiar w/ the Mr. Buddy propane heaters but, at the end of the day, I'm not comfortable using propane in an enclosed space...wouldn't be able to relax. @crusty Sounds like we're on the same wavelength on the Mr. Buddy option. Outside of a ceramic type heater option, I think I'll be more comfortable with the hot air from a Webasto or Espar.

@radin2son No, haven't given thought to a ceramic heater...will Google and see what they're all about. Completely agree that the bigger issue in this part of the country (east coast) is summer heat / humidity. I'm planning to have vented bunk windows, fan, and AC.

@radin2son Yeah, I didn't find info on sportsmobile.com or sportsmobile forum about placement of the Webasto heaters, I'm starting to wonder if I should just ditch the idea...one less thing to worry about and all that. @Local Apparent Friday I think you've probably nailed the reason the upfitter said no can do to placing the heater under the passenger seat...because I want to add a swivel there. I understand why some folks may be hesitant about having one of these heaters in the cabin...but I haven't yet found any info that puts me off the idea. I won't, however, attempt a DIY install. I've seen some good videos on installing them -- but I know my limits. @crusty Thanks for your input on alternative placement options. Wouldn't say I'm fixated on an under seat install...I just like the idea of it being tucked away there in a space that doesn't have much use for anything else.

@cojo Thank you and nice to meet you...I'm in Massachusetts, BTW. Sounds like you've accomplished quite a bit on your build! I feel like things are dragging a bit on my van because I'm waiting for it to go to the upfitter...they're crazy busy...but hopefully they'll be able to start work before the end of the year. I noticed that there isn't much action on this site relative to PM and Transit forums but still happy to be able to have a source for Nissan NV specific questions! @radin2son Thank you for your welcome and good wishes...nice to meet you. I'll check out the info on winterizing...something I'll need to learn about. @Local Apparent Friday Thank you for your welcome and good wishes. I'll take a look at the "Gazetteer." I hope to make a trip or two up north...I've never been to that part of Maine and have heard that it's beautiful.

@cojo Thank you for the reply. I did see that post that you're talking about and was bummed that there wasn't more info on the Webasto install aside from tapping into the fuel pump. I agree that I need to find out why the upfitter said it couldn't be done. Meanwhile, I'm trying to find out more info about placement. @radin2son I'll check out the Sportsmobile forum and Colorado Camper for info on placement. Good point about what's OK for diy may be a liability for an upfitter. Thanks you for the suggestions.

Hi Folks, New member and first post. I'm hoping someone can answer this question. I'm in the process of converting a 2021 NV2500 high roof to a camper van. Planning to do as much of the work myself as possible except for electrical and heater install...van will go to upfitter for that stuff. I was planning to have the heater installed under the passenger seat, but the upfitters said that's not possible ???? Haven't yet has a chance to find out why...maybe because the passenger seat will have a swivel installed. Anyway, can anyone suggest any other places where the heater can be installed? Thanks!

Hi Folks, I was able to buy a 2021 NV2500 high roof this summer and been slowly converting it to a camper van. It's been difficult to find info on converting Nissan NVs to campers so I'm very thankful to have found this group!
