Expert Answers about Nissan NV 3500

• Is drilling required to install Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Rack on 2017 Nissan NV 3500?
• You are correct! The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR73QX you were looking at simply attaches to your 2017 Nissan NV 3500's naked roof by means of the factory ditches. You will not need to drill into the roof as the included brackets and hardware are designed specifically for your vehicle's roof. I attached a demonstration video for the roof rack, along with a snip-it of the instructions for the ditch brackets.

• How To Ground a Generator Using the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier
• The Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers part # CC-255 is not going to provide the best ground for your generator. However, we do not carry Champion Generators therefore I strongly urge you to call the manufacturer to see where they recommend grounding the generator.

• Can VanRug Custom Floor Mat # VRNV11 be Easily Cut
• The VanRug Custom Floor Mat # VRNV11 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Nissan NV 3500. The custom foam backing and polypropylene construction is durable but can easily be cut to allow for the seat locks in your van to remain exposed. The carpet will work great to repel liquids as it will not absorb water, dries quickly and stands up to oil, bleach and even battery acid. The carpet itself can be easily cleaned by hosing off or sweeping the surface.

• Does Installation of 4-Way and 7-Way Require Running Separate 12V Power Lines
• That is correct, you need to run a 12V wire for a 4-way like the # 118553 to power the converter box, as well as a 2nd 12V power wire for the 7-way # ETBC7. You cannot do this with a single wire. There are different power requirements for each, and you would likely overdraw the wiring harness and damage the converter. Running both wires is necessary and ensures everything works as intended. I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
