Does anyone have a suggestion where I can get either a front generator mount or a swing out mount for my nissan nv. I already have the generator and im looking for a way to mount it on the truck. Any info will help.. Thanks

Chef Dennis just put one on his cargo max. He put some pics and details on here. The thread is titled chefdennis new cargomax or something along those lines.

I think most are building their own setups. If Im not mistaking, a member by the name of "westmicher" builds and sells a rear swingout for the sprinter. Yours would probably be an easy variation if any variation at all.

chances are you will have to have something built or build it yourself for the NV as there probably aren't going to be too many items that you are looking for in the aftermarket yet. While my Cargo Max is a Chevrolet chassis, the body is from a aftermarket / upfitter and there was nothing available for it, so I made it myself. With a little thought and minor "engineering", either yourself or a good Fabrication / welding shop can build one. 90%of the parts I used were from and are available fro a good Resse Trailer Hitch Dealer.

If you look at the link below, starting at post #219 and again post # 224 you will see how it was done with a pretty easy to follow explanation. If you have any questions, PM. me...

Speaking of the nissan NV, what kind of mpg are you getting with the V 8 ? Thanks.

I have a 2012 Nissan NV2500HD high roof.
Currently it has a Onan 5.5 that when installed was put behind the driver seat. They cut the floor out under it. It has 18k btu AC/heater on the roof.
I just installed air lift bags on it. I had to slightly modify the kit for 17 f250 but fit like a glove.
I removed the spare tire and going to cut the spare tire mount out. I will be moving the generator to this spot over the next 2 days.
