Installation Location of Engine Block Heater on 2016 Nissan NV2500 with the 5.6L V8
The Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater # KH11412 will install in the front right of your 2016 Nissan NV2500 with the 5.6L V8. I've attached a diagram to assist. You will also want to use a thread sealant like # LT37482 or # LT37615. It is not quite as simple as unscrewing the plug and screwing in the heater, but it is close. You will need to drain your cooling system first because the plug gets immersed in coolant. Other than that, it is basically unscrewing and then screwing...

Leaf Springs and Shackle Straps for Triple Axle Trailer with 7-3/4 Inch Equalizers
The issue you are experiencing is a result of leaf springs that are too long for your hanger spacing. You will want shorter springs and I recommend also going with a capacity more geared toward your axles. You will want to use the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APTT5 and # APTT3 for reference. These kits are rated for 2,000 to 7,000 lb axles with almost identical spacing. My recommendation for you is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,300-lb Trailer Axles...

Do Lippert Double Steps Fit Same Brackets as Lippert Triple Steps
The 3 step versions of the Lippert steps like the part # LC432687 are wider than most of the 2 steps like what you have. The difference in width is not unusual unfortunately. What you can do is move your current brackets out or remove them and use the outriggers # LC301704.

Draw-Tite 75715 Hitch Mounting Holes Will Not Line Up On A 2012 Nissan NV 2500
I can say that the Draw-Tite # 75715 is a fit for your 2012 Nissan NV 2500 and I included an install we did on this exact vehicle. With that said, what I think is going on is the hitch is flexed a little. This does happen pretty often as the metal side brackets are not a super rigid steel. This is intentional as when the frame of your vehicle flexes, the hitch can flex with it and not break. However, this does mean that these brackets can get a little out of whack during shipping and or...

Troubleshooting Trailer 7k Axle with Locked Up Wheel
It's probably a bearing that got destroyed due to lack of lubrication which then caused it to look up to the axle's spindle. What you are going to want to do is take it all apart and see what the damage is. Remove the wheel, take off the dust cover of the hub, and then remove the spindle nut that holds the hub to the axle. Hopefully you can then pull the hub off of the axle easily. I'd assume you'd need a new hub/drum like with the part # 8-219-4UC3-EZ but it is possible you could get...

Can Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent Blow Either In or Out
No the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP cannot be configured to run in an opposite direction as intended. While you can use two of these vents they will run in the same direction but do efficiently move 100 cubic feet per minute.

How to Complete the 12 Volt Accessory Circuit on the 7-Way of a 2013 Nissan NV 2500
First thing I would do is check the back of the 7-way to see if there is a wire attached to the 12 volt pin of the 7-way. This will be the 1:00 pin if you are looking into the connector from the front. If a wire is there then most likely you are missing a tow package relay under the hood. If there is nothing ran to that circuit, (or if you want to just fix the problem without any guesswork) you can run a length of 10 gauge wire from the 12 volt circuit pin of the 7-way through a 40 amp...

Which Bike Rack Will Allow Rear Doors To Open On 2019 Nissan NV 2500?
I had someone pull the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041 from our warehouse to get some measurements for you. When this bike rack is in the tilted back position, the upright arm measures about 26" from the hitch pin hole on the receiver. You can measure 26" back from your receiver's pin hole to verify if your doors extend out that for. If you have this clearance then there is still a chance that the swinging doors could interfere with the lower arm on the bike...

Suspension Enhancement Options For 2020 Nissan NV 2500
Seems like you're needing some suspension enhancement! I recommend using the RoadActive kit # RAS3614-T. This will help your suspension from 0 to 100% travel. It's also adjustable to get the right amount of support. If that's not enough, get some helper springs # SSR-210-47 in the rear, these will only engage when your vehicle sags enough to hit the bump stops. If you're only looking to help the last half of your suspension travel and not hinder your smooth ride when you're not hauling,...

Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2016 Nissan NV2500
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. To install this in your 2016 Nissan NV 2500 all you need is the correct install harness part # 3050-P which is a confirmed fit. On your vehicle...

How to Use the Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller on a 2018 Nissan NV 2500
The brake output (usually blue) wire is not pre ran on all 2018 Nissan NV 2500's. If yours is pre-ran then there will be a brake controller plug which is located under the lower portion of the instrument panel behind the parking brake. If you have the brake controller plug then the brake output wire should be taped to other wires up near the spare tire at the rear but as we have not had the chance to look under a 2018 Nissan NV 2500, I don't have an exact location for you. With that being...

How Can I Haul 4 ebikes
I looked up the Rad Power Wagon, that spec shows a weight of 77 lbs. and depending on which model of the step through, those can weigh almost 70 lbs. Since you state that the other two are about 45 lbs. each, for that amount of combined weight you will be challenged to find a bike rack that has a listed weight rating needed. You can possibly use the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes, # NV22G-NA22G if you can reduce each bikes weight enough to meet the 40 lbs. per bike rating of this rack....

Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2014 Nissan NV 2500
There's only one way to install a 7-way on your 2014 Nissan NV 2500 and it involves installing a 4-way first like with the Curt part # C56148 which is by far the best option that is the most reliable. And then to convert it to a 7-way and install a brake controller you'd need the part # ETBC7. If you don't plan to install a brake controller you'd instead need the part # 37185. For a brake controller the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED57FR is a really great option that only puts a small knob...

Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan NV 2500
We have a few trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2018 Nissan NV 2500. I specifically recommend the Curt Class IV # C14000 because it offers the highest weight capacities (10,000 pounds towing and 1,000 pounds tongue) indicating a stronger hitch and it is made right here in the USA. It will also use existing holes in the van's frame for a completely bolt-on (no-drill) installation. I have attached an installation video that you can also use for reference. All the...
