Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - 6-1/4" Diameter - Smoke
Fan arrived quickly and was an exact replacement for our Hail storm damaged unit. Thanks eTrailer!
Our hunt club has 2 pit blinds that are used for waterfowl hunting. Each blind is essentially a concrete box with walls, floor and top 4 inches thick and dimensions of 12'x5'x5'. Each blind is buried to a depth of 5 foot to where the top is flush with ground level. Access is through the top using 24 inch wide manhole lids that are made of high density plastic. The cooler air inside of the blinds clashing with warmer air absorbed by the concrete and manhole lids at ground level caused condensation that made the inside damp and smelly. We only hunt 3 months each year, so needed a vent solution for the other 9 months the blinds were not in use. We also needed something that could be powered by DC voltage from a solar panel due to the remote location. In July 2015 we installed each fan into a manhole cover and used water-tight conduit and electrical boxes to run the wiring from the solar panel to each fan. Great solution! Once enough daylight hits the solar panel the fan blades start moving and run constantly until sundown. Will see how long these things last but so far so good

Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" - Smoke
Vent was easy to install, really didn't need the instructions. I would have appreciated a template for the hole though. That way I can just throw the template up and cut along it. A recommendation to reinforce the underside with something (I used 2x2s) might be helpful as well. You do say to align it with a joist, but who's really going to have multiple joists within 14 1/2" from each other? Otherwise, it looks great. I figured you have multiple images of the vent itself so I figured an image of how I reinforced it would be the most helpful for future installers. Thank you. Aaron
Product material and build is solid. Easy to install. I like the smoke colored cover, lets in the right amount of sun (we dry camp in the Southwest a lot). The fit between screen and frame with the open/close knob was off by about 1/4 inch in depth. Was able to adjust the knob mounting position down so as to insure a tight fit between screen and beauty ring. We have an eighteen-year-old rig, so it is challenging to find replacement parts that fit as original. But it fits great now! great web site - easy to drill down to appropriate parts. Thanks again.

Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent - Manual - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" - Metal
I just installed this vent less than a week ago. I’m just hoping the metal vent versus the plastic one I originally had on the trailer will hold up to the weather longer.Only time will tell though. The edges of the metal around the roof flange are razor sharp. I cut my hands three or four place's. If there’s any way the factory can round these edges off better so they’re not quite as sharp.
It arrived in the expected time. It installed and worked as described. The specifications allowed me to have the right hardware and adhesive on hand for installation. Still not leaking and didn't even dent with some hail that left marks elsewhere. I am glad I went with the metal vent vs the plastic that disintegrates in the sun and is destroyed by hail. This is what I will use to replace future vents. The price to value is excellent.
