Jake: Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Redline half-moon trailer vent. This is going to allow fresh air to get in and hot air to get out without having to worry about getting any water inside your trailer.In this kit, you are going to get the outside vent and the inside receiver so that you can have a nice clean look on the inside of your trailer. This is really going to be important for if you have a wall inside your trailer like we do, but if you don't have a wall, you can just use this part and you'll be able to mount it to the outside of your trailer and get fresh air without having to worry about any water.So you can buy these as a kit or you can buy them separately. Now here you'll see we have our vent in black. It's also available in white if you'd like to match it to your white trailer.Here's that piece on the inside wall that we we're talking about.
This is going to give it a nice clean look so you just don't have an open hole in your wall. It's going to have a nice flush mount design so you don't have to worry about anything running into it when it's on the wall. It's also going to help preserve this part from being damaged.If you want more of a cross-flow to go into your trailer, you could pick up a couple of these vents to be able to put one on the opposite corner of your trailer so that you have wind coming in the front and going out the back. When using two vents, it's going to provide a way for cool air to get in and warm air to get out. Now that we've gone over some of those features, let's go ahead and show you how we got it installed.We'll start by drilling a 3" hole.
We're going to start on the inside so that we know we're not going to run into anything inside the walls. You can see we have our ribs here and here, so we're going to split the difference and do it in the middle of them. Then we're going to continue with the hole saw through the sheet metal on the outside so we know where our hole needs to be drilled. We'll go ahead and insert our pilot bit into the hole that we punctured through the sheet metal and start drilling out our hole.I'm going to go ahead and insert our vent on the inside and fasten it down. Here we just found some stainless steel screws so we don't have to worry about any rust.
Now we can move to the outside, and we can go ahead and get our outside vent in place, slide it over. We'll use a self-tapping screw, but you want to be careful with this sheet metal on the outside of your trailer. It's not very thick. You don't want to strip it out. We'll stop right there and hand-tighten from here.
Now we'll go ahead and get the other five screws in place.Now, we went ahead and put some of this Loctite black silicon gasket on the inside. We took our cover off and put it on the inside to seal it up nice and neat to make it a nice watertight seal. We do have this at etrailer. You can pick some up if you'd like.Once you have all your screws in place, you're ready to hit the road.With all that being said, that's going to do it for our look and installation of the Redline half-moon trailer vent.

This 2-piece vent provides an inexpensive yet attractive way to ventilate your enclosed trailer. Round interior vent and half-moon-shape exterior piece are both constructed of black, UV-resistant polypropylene plastic that holds up to sun exposure.
Purchase was simple and shipping was fast. I placed the vents of the right and left side with little or not issues and sealed as per instruction. If I was to make a recommendation I would suggest placing a tube of sealant in the vent. But, then you may have issues with color, etc. for customers. 352124
The product seems to be well made and I believe installation will be easy. The only down side is if you are installing it onto any surface that is not at least 1.25" thick, you will need to take up the extra space. This is usually not the case with a trailer wall but is in my case of a composite molded wall of a walk in storage pod. I recommend a finer screen be cut and siliconed onto the molded grate to keep out smaller insects but that is an easy upgrade. 224935
I bought a pair of these to vent my 6 X 10 cargo trailer. They worked great ! 431246
Johnny B - 09/12/2018I purchase 2 of these vent's a few weeks ago, Very easy to install. i decided to order 3 more , as they say more vent the better . The only thing i have a problem with is they don't come with screws. 361169
Another review (above) recommended using a plywood jig. I took their advice and was glad I did. They did not include images, so I am. It made the install SUPER easy. 1) Use a scrap piece of 1/2 or 3/4" plywood slightly larger than the exterior vent. Find center of plywood and use 3" hole saw to make opening. Insert the round interior vent (loosely) from one side, and then loosely attach semi-circular exterior piece. Pinch all three pieces together and set on a flat surface. Trace the outline of the semi-circular vent onto the plywood. Make marks at the 6 screw hole openings. 2) Drill through plywood at the 6 screw openings. 3) locate vent position on exterior of trailer (note: make sure the shape of the vent corresponds to the flow of air!!!). 4) place plywood jig at desired loaction (press against exterior of trailer) and drive at least 4 self-tapping screws through plywood and into trailer wall (make sure to use screws long enough to penetrate thickness of plywood). 5) now that plywood is attached to exterior of trailer, use a hole saw to cut through metal and plywood interior wall. The jig will keep your saw in perfect path. 6) Apply silicon to inner rim of 3" round interior vent cover. Press into opening. 7) My interior vent was the perfect depth - It was flush with exterior of trailer wall. If yours is too long, cut to proper depth. Apply silicon at seam where metal opening meets end of interior vent (added protection against rain). 8) Add silicon bead on underside of exterior vent flange. Align with screw holes (from jig attachment) and drive 6 self-tapping screws. Good luck! 240227
Just finished installing my new vents, very easy to install and look pretty good as well, hopefully they serve they're purpose. Any ventilation is better than none. 413321
I have used your web-site before and find it very easy to navigate. The product I ordered is for a small, 5X10 trailer that I use to haul/store my landscape equipment. In the summer months, things get hot and stinky in the trailer so I ordered these to provide ventilation. Your company shipped these vents very quickly and they were no problem installing in my trailer. I have already bookmarked your web-site because it provides the equipment that I need. Thank you. 143013
Excellent product and easy to work with. Great service. I was concerned however about insects entering through the vents so came up with a filtration system. Used a PVC coupling and some filter material. Cut the coupling to 1/2 inch rings and remove just enough material to allow an inside press fit. Cut round filter and insert first then hold in place with the ring. On the outside vent cut a long narrow piece as shown. When installed as shown, adds very good double filter and allows air to move freely. Just finished a 6000 mile trip clear across the country and back and filter performed perfectly. Eliminating the heat build up AND keeping the bugs out. JIM : ] 102260
We use these on every trailer we make, very good heavy duty vent, attractive, adds a design element to the trailers. We use both black and white vents, depending on the side color of the trailer. Yes, we are kind of trailer nerds! And we do love e-trailer! 524150
Finally found the time to install 2 of these air vents on my cargo trailer, putting 1 on each side about mid-length and up towards the roof. I used a 3" hole saw with a 1/4" drill bit in the center. I marked my spot on the outside and started drilling. Once I got the 3" started on the outside, I went inside and drilled the #' through the inside wall and kept going through the outside wall. The 2 pieces fit perfect. I then secured each piece with stainless steel screws. I took my time and things worked out great ! These vents should help remove a lot of the hot air that builds up inside of the trailer, here in SW Florida ! 580699
Great price and quality, as good if not better than original part. 737167
very good quality, easy installation, I have bought for another install already. 713539
Good design, well manufactured, easy to install. A1 product. 705056
Not so Impressed. There doesn't seem to be much better airflow in my trailer. I installed 4 vents. The way the product is designed seems to block air from coming instead of letting it flow. 676956
Just like the factory vents. 675571
Easy to install and works great! 673568
worked awesome, no problems at all. 667653
look good 662858
I did not go wrong buying this item. Very good for venting tight closed compartments. 630831
Nice vent- wish it was available in the color White or Silver like my custom build. 583549
We use these in all of our trailers, they work just fine, we have had no issues with them. They just provide a little extra ventilation. We use them as a wall vent with lots of silicone behind the screws, and have had no issues with water infiltration or insects. One of our go-to products. 564958
Great price and work great too. 555012
Purchased item for venting 5X8 enclosed trailer. The item was positioned front and top of the side wall and mounted with venting facing forward. Two additional 3” floor vents were installed in the opposite end of the trailer to allow air flow. Hardware is not included with item; the air flow is restricted by the nature of the water proofing design which restricts the flow to less than 40% of the 3” diameter opening. 548146
It should provide a little more air flow for the m/c trailer. I added some coarse filter material to keep out bugs. 540109
The outside finish has witness marks from the molding process. I’m sure it will work good. Low score for finish 525117
