Lol, towards the right, about 1/3 back. It’s difficult to forget where we park our vans, no doubt!

I don't have Pics of outside.  Its Michigan and the outside is a mess right now.   

 

My last 2013 NV 2500 got totaled.   I replaced it with 2018 NV 35cargo.   I use to haul artwork..kayaks, bikes, sometime camp out of it.   

 

This interior makes for a much quieter, warmer ride.   Hush mats and insulation under walls.  They were able to reuse some of the interior from my totaled van to put in new van.   I had them make the netting out of seatbelt material.  It is removable( I don't like the cage feel of the metal bulkhead)   it works for my purposes to keep me safe from things sliding forward.    Note...this was tested in my last van, when I was rear ended at 65mph at stoplight.   The bikes, etc in the back stayed in the back:)

Back to posting NV photos... here's our new-to-us 2012 NVP. I have not done anything to it yet though, thinking of adding running boards to help my little one who pulls on a seatbelt to get up.

Recently upgraded the wheels and tires.

 

18" Fuel Vapor with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in 275/70/R18

 

A little rubbing on the door so added 1/4" body spacers.

Hi all,

It's been a while, between traveling and I've been ill.  Both vans are done and both vans have been all over AZ and NM. Both vans have gone to the East Coast and back out West, separately. My 2016 3500 pulled the trailer there and back, Hub took his 2017 on a two month trip by himself in his van.  When we leave the trailer to vandwell, we have been using Hub's van ~17mpg on the highway. He set up his more comfortably for traveling and plenty of room for the dog crate. His also has the microwave. I wish I would have put one in my van.

 

So long story short, here are the photos.  Questions about the side solar? We have found out that they produce four times the wattage than the overhead panels when facing the morning sun. And in the winter, if we need to, we face the panels South in the winter to get more watts all day long. 

 

Aside from crappy mileage while pulling the trailer (9.5-10mpg), we couldn't be happier with either van.post-1644-0-09582600-1553646781_thumb.jpgpost-1644-0-33583500-1553646806_thumb.jpgpost-1644-0-90633200-1553646878_thumb.jpegpost-1644-0-18021000-1553646924_thumb.jpg
