Installing A Blackout Curtain In A Van | Ep 12 | Nissan NV200 Camper Van Build

[@taylortwostore]

Banging job. As we all know, the cab curtain is always a challenge, especially if you don't want to make permanent holes/changes.

Mate, you’re so switched on. Like a little story love it. Gunna try use your techniques on the majority of my mini conversion.

[@trainingday391]

A very professional job. Thank you for posting.

[@Kayte...]

You do very nice and clean work!

[@ChrisAndEmilie]

Looks good! We’ve had similar concerns about the headliner not holding window screens over time.

[@johndobb8239]

Great idea with the magnet

[@eld2349]

I put a curved curtain rod and blackout panels in my Promaster City. $35 for the rod though, and I had to modify it, but it's bolted/screwed in and isnt going anywhere. Great video!

[@LensOfJames]

Nice idea with the curved rod!

[@SuperDeut4]

Where did you get the curved rod?

[@alxforth1]

Great video series, thanks for documenting so well

[@foxcroc44]

Have been deliberating over this issue in my NV build, seems like a good solution, nice one! :) Maybe stronger magnets will help down the sides!

[@robertsjames16]

Good Video, may even try Velcro

[@DJUINUK]

Hey, where did you source the grommets from? are there any sites you could recommend getting free samples from to save buying a whole pack? Thanks mate

[@LensOfJames]

I used Essentra components, a quick google will find others :)

[@DJUINUK]

@@LensOfJames thank you so much! 👍

Is the NV 200 the most reliable Van to get?

[@LensOfJames]

Hi, I couldn't possibly say - I love my nv200 but I suppose all van and vehicles have their pros and cons. Haven't had any problems with it yet though!

[@dachanist]

As a previous Nissan Salesman I would say it's up there. I haven't heard bad things about others, but I've sold many and never had any issues. All the buyers were very happy. It has a 5yr 160,000km limited warranty so your good for engine and tranny and a few other things. Its a 2.0l 4cyl previous gen Sentra engine with a CVT transmission and rated for up to 1500lbs payload, so its a half ton truck equivalent. Fuel economy is very good - about 9liters per hundred km combined in real world use - that's about 26 mpg. Most of the people who came to see one bought it. They usually had a good rate deal or cash buyer program too. It was very affordable. I'm considering buying one to make a camper. The other option would be to convert a Dodge Caravan. Those are good too and dirt cheap for base models on the outgoing year.

What’s the name of this beat ? 🎶

[@LensOfJames]

Track names are in the description 👍

[@lynnyou3085]

This is too much work for us common vanlifer😢.

[@LensOfJames]

I did it very slowly over a number of months around a full-time job, but there are definitely simpler setups if that's an issue 🙂
