I had considered getting those as my side vents, but opted for another type, that I had seen on semi-trailers, when I ran a receiving department. They never showed signs of leaking, so I got them instead.

I put screen material inside the butterfly opening, and modified one, used to cover my A/C exhaust ducting. They work great, no leaks.
Also, I put reversible computer case fans on hinges to be able to swing in front of each of the two main cabin vents, in order to pull air in, or to direct air out (keeps dust out!). They can run forever on 12vdc battery power, since they draw miniscule amperage.
Do you have a thread with pics of your trailer?
*No, I never made a build journal, but instead, I posted project photos in my gallery
http://www.tnttt.com/gallery/album.php?album_id=64, and asked/answered many questions (and posted my version of solutions) in many threads along the way.
*I was not sure that I'd ever complete the build, thus my reason for not starting a possibly never-to-be-completed build journal); it was being constructed by me and a friend, at his home shop, just to see how far it would progress before my wife either detected cost overruns (I paid cash, out of my weekly "allowance"), or my friend talked me back into drag-racing my Chevelle again, after a several years hiatus (his shop was a car fabrication/racing team hangout), and my interest would've shifted back to my 10 second doorslammer.
*I had started out with a junk, small, derelict motorcycle?? trailer, that had spent twenty years in my back 1/4 acre, unused after I bought it at a swap meet. I was building it off-site, 50+ miles from home, whenever I could get there, at a "low-or-no" stealth budget, in order to hide it from the wife, who demanded that the project came in under $500 USD.
*I've spent many times that amount over the years since 10-1-2011, when I loaded the little trailer carcass onto my carhauler trailer, and moved it to the remote site, and started the project. I'm always changing configurations on my squareback TTT, so I guess that if I had had a build journal, it would be never-ending.
