Vanna, our 2019 Nissan NV2500 High Roof van developed 2 nagging problems we needed to deal with and then baby a bit to complete the trip.
1) Loss of coolant thru the drain plug-----
Fixed with a risky over-tightening of the plug without breaking it. Phew!!!!
2) Misfire on Cylinder 7 resulting in loss of power on any acceleration. --- Fixed after the trip by an ignition coil pack replacement.
After this successful trip, we decided to take another one to the US Southwest Parks which posted at this link on 25/DEC/2025;
