I can't help you directly but I have to agree that getting graphics or company logos installed should be done by any qualified company in your area not just one company unknown miles away... Not sure if continued phone calls will be the solution but you could always try contacting original wraps corperate or go directly to someone higher up with Nissan I'm sure they don't want issues with the commercial market with them just launching their flagship commercial vehicle. You would think that having an incentive where they offer vehicle wraps they would have all this figured out by now. Good luck getting this worked out -Drew

Hey everyone I wanted to give an update to my intro, We have have the NV for about a month now and everything is going great with it. It drives so nice and doesn't feel like you driving a High Top vehicle at all it feels very planted and under control. As I stated above the Van is going to be used as a mobility van for my disabled father. We had the lift installed last week and it works amazing, we had to go with a full commercial platform lift due to my fathers size but it fit in the vehicle like it was made for it! I will definatly post pictures soon, I might even make a video of the lift in operation for all to see. We are taking the van up to a business in PA in a few weeks to have a specialty floor put down, when we purchased the van it had the utility mat installed but with the weight of the wheel chair and when turning on the mat it was pulling and causing the mat to move around because its not attached very well to the floor. We are looking to sell this mat since we took it out after realizing it wouldn't not last long if left in.. The new floor that we are having applied is going to make the floor completly smooth and it will make moving the wheelchair much easier. Ill post back once it get put in. If anyone is interested in reading about the floor we are having applied google "WERM flooring" and you will see info about it. When we purchased the van we negotiated very hard with the sales manager directly we got $1000 off of sticker which took forever for him to agree to, we had to play the "threaten to walk out" card before they gave in. We didn't buy any extended policies or services and OTD including tags/registration and MD tax @ 6% we where at $35100 for a fully loaded Nv with every option available. As I said above I will get some pictures and post them here and I will see about getting a video of the lift. I'm sure with time there will be a few members posting up here but I don't see this being a high volume forum just based on the type of vehicle this is and what it is designed for. Anyway I'll see you guys around! - Drew

After the first tank or two I will post back with an updated estimate but just based on quick math and what the range indicator says on the dash which with a full tank said 444 miles devided by 28 gallons in the tank gives your roughly 15.8 mpg.

My father will have a commercial platform lift (think schoolbus) installed in the rear of his van and use his van will be used as a way to move his oversized wheel chair and himself in comfort. Unlike other empty vans or traditional lift outfitted vans this one allows him to stand up and walk to either of the front seats once the lift gets hime inside the back doors. We've done months of research and planning and we finally took delivery of the vehicle last night.

How's it going everyone! I wanted to drop by and post a quick introduction. My father and I just took delivery of a 2012 NV 2500 high top last night. It was navy blue and it was very hard to find, our dealer really did there work for this deal let me tell you! They ended up having to interupt factory shipment for this vehicle that was supposed to go to Rhode Island but instead had it come to MD they had to then exchange a white fully loaded NV up to the RI dealer but that included driving it up there and then flying their man back here to Baltimore. The van we purchased was a navy blue fully loaded 2500 SV High Top and had every option available from the factory. As for the purpose of this van its not for buisness or commercial use its actually going to have a platform lift installed in the rear of it and it will be used to transport my disabled father. This is set up perfectly for what he needs, he is not confined to a wheel chair but he can't walk long distances so his plans are to have the lift bring him inside the van and then he will walk from the rear up to the front passenger or driver seat. We will have to remove the center console which is fairly simple but we don't like that we lose the arm rest foption. Anyway I will post pics if anyone is interested in seeing a blue one and once we get the lift installed we will post pics to show how that works. I'm glad to be here and once these vans starting hitting the streets I'm sure there will be more people joining here and the NV community will grow. See-ya around, Drew
