Love to hear any must learn or do things for the van. I hear about auto locking doors, how to manually shift? Other? Thanks! Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted October 13, 2017 A rare red NV... I think his name is Tim Lutz on instagram: he also has a blog, travelogue, but this isn’t updated regularly. I haven’t looked at either in a very long time. He has one of the best full time office/camper conversions for 1 person. 2 would stretch it’s limits. Info is posted somewhere under conversions but it would probably be easier to do your own search. Problems with these vans are few. Recalls fewer. 2012 NVs had a few minor recalls that should have been taken care of by the previous owner, but you can check this on the NV web site.
