Venting

Has anyone used dryer vents on the side of the trailer instead of the roof? Our vent at home is a white pvc one with louvers that would keep the water out Image

I have a source for some bigger computer fans (free to me) that would work great on the inside of the trailer and I was thinking this might keep the holes out of the roof.

It's been done before, Dirk, and worked out well. "Holes in the roof" really aren't that big of a deal, though, if you seal them up properly ... literally thousands of teardrops and even more well built RVs have had roof vents in 'em for lots & lots of years without problems.

Good Luck, and ...
