I bumped into this thread by accident, only because of the title, while looking for something unrelated. I had wondered about this in the context of being all sealed up with the AC running, and wasn't comfortable with the idea. I also thought that without the AC I ought to keep adequate ventilation by cracking the windows and roof vent. Still, I could forget or rationalize to the point of screwing up on a cold night; and thats the point I'm trying to make. Even folks who might have thought about this issue could make the mistake, absent clear information of this type. This sticky, and the excellent title, ought to go a long way towards reinforcing the need for good ventilation. I will add some sort of non-close-able hi/low vent combination on my TD, not small, and still crack the windows/roof vent. I also suggest a short bullet list, at the front of any TD plans listing, say, the 4 most dangerous things to address in building and using a TD. Ventilation, proper wiring and circuit protection devices come to mind, all in huge text and the most straightforward language, like a bucket of cold water in the face.
