Hello From Guelph, Ontario

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone:

 

Good to be part of this group.  I just purchased a pearl white 2017 NV3500 HD SL.  It's just my wife, dog and me using this vehicle.  We do a lot of mountain biking and camping.  We wanted a vehicle that had plenty of inside storage and towing capacity - the NV fit the bill perfectly.

 

I look forward to chatting with you, learning, reading posts and sharing information.

 

My first project, when spring comes, is to find nerf bars/side steps for the NV (and to figure out what to do with the third and fourth row seats - lol)

 

Thanks kindly ..... Marco

Welcome. Without the seats, there will be lots of room for bikes and camping gear. Check with your dog to see which seats you can remove.

Radin2son - I think if my dog had it his way he would be in the passenger seat by the driver - lol. But definitely lots of room. Big plans for the vehicle.

If you plan to sleep in your NV, you will need to address ventilation and bugs.

 

CR Laurence makes great awning style, screened windows.

 

Skeeterbeater makes great screens for the front doors, side and rear doors. We use ours all the time in the summer. The rear door screen is a little tight. You can also buy sceening and magnets from them to make your own. We made our side screen.

 

Your dog will love the view through the screens...

Congrats on the NV and welcome to the site.  I have yet to see a pearl white NV and would like to see one in person.  My local dealer always sells out his NVP's once they arrive.

Thanks ASD Dad. There were about 5 SL models left in the province of Ontario about 2 weeks back. Three of them were pearl white. It's a nice white. I have seen some pearl whites that reflect some weird colours. This pearl looks more like a French vanilla ice cream. I like white and I was pleasantly surprised that I like Nissan's pearl white better than their bright white.

Welcome to the forum. Congrats. I would love to see some pictures of your van. I've seen this color on other vehicles and like the color.

Hi chphilo. Thanks. The one thing I do like about this pearl white is that it doesn't show all the colours of the rainbow. I have seen some pearl whites that throw a lot of pink and purple.

Hi chphilo. Thanks. The one thing I do like about this pearl white is that it doesn't show all the colours of the rainbow. I have seen some pearl whites that throw a lot of pink and purple. I did get to see this vehicle parked beside a bright white cargo van and that is when I decided I really liked the pearl white.

The admin of this site drives me nuts.  I still cant view photo attachments like above!  Shows up as a broken link and if I click it I get a No Permission error.  I've contacted Admin several times with no response.  

 

I can see uploaded photos like the recent rack and winch threads.  Just not attachments like above...  Annoying!

Thanks andy_george. I am very happy with this van. Now for a little customizing over the next six months. Wheels, rubber, running boards/tubes. I have the running boards I just need to "rework" the factory brackets to fit the NV3500. All fun. I looking forward to be a part of this group. I have read through some of the posts - lots of great info.

ASD Dad. Sorry about not seeing the photo of my vehicle. I wonder if their is a different way for me to post. However, I am reading your little blurb on your NV and it sounds pretty awesome. Is their a photo of it posted? I would love to see it.

I can see again!  Admin finally got it fixed, it was a software glitch.  No mods could open attachments.  Fun stuff, yes??

 

Beautiful van you have there.  I am jealous, I would have bought Pearl White if it was available.  Silver is nice and all but boring.
