Something that you install over a window, when you get to camp, that allows you to open window during bad weather to allow air flow but not allow rain to come in. You would be able to take in down during transit. Something like you see on houses. Thanks
I was brainstorming the other day about how to affix a device over my slider windows so I could open the windows during rain. I thought about those drip caps like the ones at

or, as an alternative, a plastic vent shade like the ones that are installed over the rear side window of a pickup truck, or the rear window of a pickup truck or a sunroof wind deflector like the ones at

I also thought about making a mini awning by fashioning some kind of square frame device made out of small diameter pvc pipe over which could be attached vinyl-awning material … with a strip of high bond 3M velcro installed an inch or so above the top of the window so that the the top rail of the frame could be attached above the window with the velcro … then drop two side legs down at an angle from the outboard corners of the frame … with a bottom rail installed between the two legs … then affix the bottom rail with velcro to the trailer at points below the window similar to the way the top rail is affixed to the top of the window
… kind of a Mickey Mouse set up …. but that is what I thought about.
I know there are some very high bond Velcro products available … so maybe that would solve the blowing wind problem.
The advantage of using velcro is that if the design does not work, the velcro could be removed easily with alcohol and the cost of materials would be negligible.
I am glad you asked this question … maybe somebody will come up with a good idea.
