• Differences Between Butterfly Vents Part # 371800 and Part # PLR24-002
  The only differences between the vents is that part # PLR24-004 comes with a rubber gasket and part # 371800 does not. The mounting holes are also positioned a little differently. They are both 7-1/4" in diameter and made of a polished aluminum. If you are concerned with rust then I highly recommend using the Butterfly Vent part # PLR24-002 which is made of stainless steel.

• Is the Butterfly Vent Waterproof and Will it Stay Closed or Open
  This Butterfly Vent # 371800 that you referenced is not waterproof. If the vent was on the side of the trailer it would not get direct water sprayed at it when it is raining so it should not let too much moisture through. If you left the vent in either the open or closed position it would move.

• Installation of Redline Butterfly Vent # 371800
  On the Redline Butterfly Vent, part # 371800, the location of the nob does not really matter, usually on either side.

• Side Vent for Enclosed Trailer with Interior Wood Paneling
  You can still use butterfly vent # 371800. The wood paneling in the trailer should not be an issue because no matter what material is on the inside you would have to cut a hole for the vent. If there is a gap between the outer and inner walls of the trailer then you could bridge that gap with some small gauge sheet metal such as tubing used for clothes driers. A vent such as # WHMAV2-WAVT2 might be a better option. I have linked a video review of this vent and the butterfly vent as well. I...
