So I suspect we can keep those open when the vent fan is running to allow air in. But what about when it’s raining. Will we wish there was a more weatherproof wall vent to let air in?
I guess I worry that on the highway, water and dirt will get sucked into just about any open vent.

We occasionally have had rain come in the side windows. Of course, when the wind is blowing, we close the appropriate window, but even with vertical rain, some can get in. Our one experience with the tear and rain in the Rockies was a thunderstorm with lots of wind. That was also true with many storms previously, when we were tent camping in Colorado and Utah. The storms we've encountered in the Northeast tend not to have as much wind, and more vertical rain.
When camping in the Northeast during muggy conditions, sometimes with rain, we've found occasion to run our fan all night long. Our solution is to crack the window (we built a jig to hold the windows cracked; if your window doesn't already have a way to do that, I can post a picture), and to bring spare towels to lay under the window on the bed. Sometimes, when we know that's the type of night we'll have, we put our Easy-up over the tear, which gives us about a foot of awning on either side. We're also considering some sort of other awning, or umbrella arrangement some day.
Yes, I think if I were to do over, knowing what I now know about camping in the Northeast, I'd have looked at putting in vents as well. You'll have to ask Capebuild about how well they prevent dust from coming in.

Any other options to consider?
