Does anyone know of any other manufactures that build a larger bull bar than the Black Horse?

I just finishing a tour and was on some rough roads when the door ajar light on the dash and Interior lights came on....twice at night in a heavy rain storm. Really strange. Anyone have any ideas or experience with this? It is a dangerous flaw.

This gives me the idea to put it under my starboard side shelving. Thanks for adding in.

Has anyone installed an extra battery? Where ? Thanks Dustin

Thanks...will do. I probably won't get to this until the spring...At this moment I am going to go with a 3000 watt unit right off the battery. I will mount it in my shelving and not mess with the factory set up.

And now it works...that is a price well within my range. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it is currently unavailable. I saw another for 300 dollars...but from a Chinese company with no reviews...not worth the risk for me. My current sound system is 700 VA which I believe converts to 760 watts. I would like to add another 2 speakers for a total of 1200 VA. Still not sure whether it is worth the money for my use....but I am enjoying the learning process.

Thanks... I need a pure sine wave (professional stereo) and that must be why I can't find anything in the price range you suggested on Amazon or anywhere. I am thinking that the amount I will use this isn't worth the money.

Thanks. I looked for the 2k inverter and couldn't find anything in the 200 dollar range. Same experience with the kit. Could you share your source? Thanks

I googled Renergy and couldn't find a roof mount system. Could you forward a link? I have this feeling that all options won't be cost effective for my purpose.

Even 3.3 amps isn't much but would run 2-350 watt units quite well. Problem is that I now want a sub. Might have to upgrade to a 1000-2000 watt inverter.

Thanks radin2son. I will most likely do a gas generator...but I would rather not. A car stereo is also lacking.I don't think solar technology is ready for my application yet...but that is a large surface on the top of the van and if I could find a place for another battery...Worth looking into. I use an Ipad for my music already. Most wireless speaker systems are consumer products and are not nearly powerful enough for the size of audiences I perform for. I just did the Vancouver Gay Pride Parade - there were over half a million people there with upwards of a thousand viewing us at any one time. I have a great professional system already that will work and my initial idea for having the inverter was to use it for these kind of events. I understand that Nissan want to protect rednecks from drilling or sawing in the back of a moving vehicle on the highway but this didn't occur to me when I bought the vehicle. It did occur to me that tools can't be charged while travelling because of this as well. Would be good for sales people to tell buyers about this hinderance.

I believe this safety measure is there to keep people from running power tools while driving which isn't my intention.

Ahoy everyone, I have the stock inverter in my NV. I in preparation for a parade and mounted speakers to the roof tested it and everything worked great. The 400 W outlet didn't work during the parade...and therefore no music. I just checked the manual and apparently the 400W outlet will only run while the vehicle is in park. Does anyone know how to over ride this? Thanks. Dustin

I want to install a switch for my car seat warmers. Two questions Where to purchase switches other than dealer? Schematics of fuse box? I am also hoping for tips on removal of housings to run wires as well. Thanks,

I found that I was getting locked out when I would get out of the van and come back and it would lock. Ofcourse I would look to blame my wife. :0) But alas.....it was me locking it manually with my hand when I would open the door. I will have to find something else to blame her for.

Thanks Daydreamin520. How long have you had it installed and through what weather conditions has it endured? The website says its cotton. Is that the exposed side?

Thanks Wollip. How long have you had it installed and through what weather conditions has it endured?

Hi fellow NV-ers. I am going to rebuild my shelving and am considering sound deadening possibilities. The only thread I could find in this forum was from 4 years ago. Dynamat will cost over 800 CDN....which is more of a commitment than I am willing to make at this stage. But it seems that lower cost options won't last or will smell to high heaven. I am thinking I might do it over time. Where would be the best places to start? Wheel wells....roof? OR is there a decent product that one of you has used that won't melt, or asphyxiate? Thanks, Dustin

How would one find out what size of inverter the stock wiring can handle?

That worked! Thanks.

More and more all the time. Some wrapped. Some not. More high roof vans of all flavours here.

I found a rubber stopper near my back doors and can't figure out where it came from. It doesn't look like it came from any of my gear and doesn't look like comes from the doors. It is about an inch in diameter, black rubber, with about a 1/4 inch of threads. Anyone have any ideas of what part of the van it could have come from? Thanks, Dustin

It all worked out fine...MrOlaf was correct. Warming up on a cold day was the issue.
