I bought a pair of these to vent my 6 X 10 cargo trailer. They worked great ! 431246

I have sold the trailer. While I did have it, though, the vents worked very well.

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

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

I really like this idea and thanks for taking the time to document and post this info. What is the blue filter material, where did you find that and how is it secured to the external vent piece?Best regards.

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

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

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

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

No complaints. I'm not sure how efficient the air transfer it through this vent, but it was easy enough to install, and has been water tight. It's installed to vent my battery compartment through the rear of my teardrop trailer. 848983

Ticks all of our boxes for passive air flow. Have been using them in our trailers for years now. We use two per teardrop, one on each side of the trailer for cross ventilation. 836982

We use two of these vents on every trailer that we make, and are nothing but happy with the condition, the price and the functionality of it. Such a simple concept that just works so well for some additional ventilation. 815463

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

Ask the Experts about this Redline Enclosed Trailer Parts
- Recommended Roof Vent for Package Delivery VanThe # HMAV2-AVT2 vent you had looked at is really intended to be mounted to the sidewall of a structure rather than the roof. It's fairly low profile, so it could work in that application, but while the vehicle is standing still, there's a good possibility that you could get some water infiltration during a downpour. Something like the MaxxAir Mini Trailer Roof Vent, part # MA00-03750 would be a better choice. The vent includes a rain shield that prevents rain from entering as well as...
view full answer... - Wall Vent Recommendation for Enclosed TrailerThe largest side wall vent we have for trailers is 3 inch diameter like the part # HMAV2-AVT2 that you referenced. These do an excellent job venting out hot air in enclosed trailers. I'd install them higher on the walls since hot air rises and probably at the back of the trailer. I'd start with maybe two and see if you like how they perform and add more if you need it. For most people just a pair of these is all that's needed. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will Adding a Trailer Vent Reduce CondensationIt would seem to me that having an air vent and a fan vent is going to be sufficient, but you can always add another vent to help improve airflow. With that being said, you can add the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 to provide you with a bit more airflow, but I'd be careful not to place it too low to the ground since it might allow rodents an easier route into the trailer. I don't believe that a vent is going to help reduce condensation and would let more moist air inside...
view full answer... - How To Keep Bugs Out Of The Trailer Using the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent HMAV2-AVT2I do have an option for you but there is not an additional mesh screen for the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent for 3" Diameter Hole part # HMAV2-AVT2 to keep out bugs/insects. The large vents that you see will keep out the majority of bugs and insects but some of the smaller ones can slip through. In order to prevent this you can simply take a finer mesh screen of your own and place it in between the trailer and vent. For example, we have the Bug Screen for Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze...
view full answer... - Recommended Direction for Installing 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2I recommend having the vent opening of the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 either face the rear of the trailer so that it sucks air out as you are traveling or have it face down as either of these two positions will prevent water from entering into the trailer.
view full answer... - Side Wall Vent Recommendation for an Enclosed Trailer for Maximum Air FlowSince heat rises I would at the very least put a set of the Trailer Vents # HMAV2-AVT2 near the top of the trailer to get the hottest air of the trailer out. What you could do for maximum air flow in your trailer is have a set facing forward in the front of your trailer near the bottom of the side wall and then have another set facing rearward at the top/back of the trailer. This will maximize getting cool air into the trailer and hot air out.
view full answer... - Availability of Side Vents for Toy Hauler TrailerFor trailer side vents we have a couple options but none that are 9 inch by 9 inch. We have the part # 9139 which is 10 by 12 inch and the part # HMAV2-AVT2 which is more of a semi-circle shape that is 6 by 8 inch.

- Do Half Moon Trailer Vents Need to be Installed Facing Down or BackYou can install the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent for 3" Diameter Hole - Black # HMAV2-AVT2 in whatever manner suits you best; some people install it so the half-moon is facing to the rear though most do it with the half-moon facing down. I have added photos that our customers sent in showing both instances. This is one of those instances where there really isn't a "right" answer because you can install it wherever you think will give you the most ventilation and both corners have...

- Can the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 Mount Facing ForwardIf you mounted the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 with the opening of the vent facing forward like a ram air hood on a car there is a better chance of it allowing water through it. If there is any way to mount it like in the picture I attached that we got from a customer you would be better off. That being said, most hood scoops that are small like the part # HMAV2-AVT2 actually don't get a lot of direct airflow at highway speeds because the wind deflects off the top...

- Will 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent Cover 4 inch Diameter HoleThe outer portion of the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent for 3" Diameter Hole # HMAV2-AVT2 that you referenced would easily fit over a 4 inch diameter hole like you mentioned. The inner section does require a 3 inch hole so it wouldn't be able to attach though.
view full answer... - Does the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent have to Be Installed Facing a Certain DirectionThere isn't really a specific way that the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 has to be mounted. You could mount it like in the pictures or in any other orientation. It's just that with the openings pointed down it is much less likely that rain water could get inside the trailer.

- Orientation of 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent to Prevent Air Flow DisturbancesIf you are worried about moving too much air in your trailer with the install of the trailer vent part # HMAV2-AVT2 your best option would be to only run these vents as exhaust vents so facing the rear of the trailer as that will gently pull air out of the trailer as you are driving. I attached an install video for this vent for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Waterproof Wall Vent for Enclosed TrailerThe semicircular portion of our wall vent, # HMAV2-AVT2, mounts to the outside wall. The ventilation slots are on the bottom of the vent, so as long as a sealant is used to install it the vent won't allow water to the interior of the trailer. We recommend using a sealant like sealant part # 0160297, to help seal the trailer from the elements. The Loctite urethane sealant is applied as a thick liquid to parts before assembly or in seams after assembly to create a waterproof bond in a...
view full answer... - Venting a Sprinter Cargo Van to Keep Interior Temperatures from Climbing in SummerThe Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 that you referenced is a good option for your application in the summer time, but this vent does not allow you to seal it off in the cold months. A good option for your application is a butterfly-type vent that will allow you to open and close the air flow as required. Redline offers their round butterfly vent # 371800 that is shown in the linked video. This vent will withstand highway speeds but do note that there will be some...
view full answer... - Recommended Installation Point for Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent HMAV2-AVT2The Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 is suitable for front- and rear-of-trailer installation as you describe. The vent is designed to allow any water that does get in to exit through the drainage holes in the corners. The exterior portion's half-moon shape provides protection from moisture entering the trailer while still allowing good air flow to keep your trailer's interior cooler as you drive. Keep in mind that the hot air in the trailer will be at the top near...
view full answer... - Trailer Vent Recommendation for Venting an Air Conditioner UnitThe 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 would work well as an air conditioner vent on your trailer. You would just need to cut a 3 inch hole in your trailer to install the vent. For self-tapping screws the part # 31071 would work great and then for sealant part # 0160297.
view full answer... - Installing 2-Piece Vent On Cargo Craft Enclosed TrailerUsing the Great Stuff sealer you mentioned is a great idea to insulate and fill all the voids between the wall and outer aluminum siding on your trailer when you plan on installing the Polypropylene Trailer Vent, part # HMAV2-AVT2. A word of caution when using this sealer is that it expands a great deal, and if it has nowhere to expand will cause issues by pushing the walls apart. A little goes a long way with this stuff. Please make sure you read the label before using this sealer....
view full answer... - Recommended Orientation/Installation for Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2The Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 should be installed so that the openings on the flat bottom portion of the external section face down. In any other orientation there will be potential for rain to enter. Installation also requires that you apply a sealer of some kind to the two parts' mounting flanges. You can use a silicone caulk or a urethane sealant like TempPro # 0160297. Please refer to the linked photo for illustration. We also offer installation hardware,...

- Vent Modifications to Increase Flow in 5 x 9 Enclosed TrailerThe two-piece vent assembly you referenced, part # HMAV2-AVT2 from Redline, includes an outer portion with perforations on its lower surface to allow hot air out while preventing rain from getting in. Four of these vents (or similar equivalents) seem like a suitable start for basic trailer ventilation so you are on the right track. However, you may want to consider a roof vent. This will require some obvious cutting in your trailer and careful sealing of the vent (to prevent entry of...

- Best Vent Location To Prevent Items From Blowing Around While Providing Trailer VentilationWhen installing a product such as the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent for 3" # HMAV2-AVT2 inside the trailer, the best way to face vents to prevent items blowing around the trailer depends on the vent location. There are slots on one side of the unit, allowing you to position the vent for best airflow. I recommend installing the vents near the top of the trailer to get the hottest air of the trailer out. With the vent being installed closer to the roof of the trailer, point the slots...

- Availability of Trailer Vent that Mounts on Wall that Can Open and Close While TravelingThe best option for that would be the # RV-626-062. This can open and close on either side to allow you more flexibility in terms of how much air you would want to move. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
view full answer... - Tips for Trimming 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent to Fit a Thin WallThe easiest way to trim the round vent piece in Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 is to first determine how much needs to be trimmed but placing it through the hole in the trailer wall. Mark the proper depth on the vent piece then remove it from the wall. For a straight, clean cut I recommend a rotary tool. You could use a hack saw with fine teeth as well but I would be careful to keep it as straight as possible. You will likely have to sand off some rough edges no matter how it is cut.
view full answer... - How Should Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 Be Installed and Will it Keep Out WaterThe short answer is nothing prevents water from going into vent # HMAV2-AVT2. If you have the opening facing down some water may trickle in at higher speeds but it would not be like a continuous misty spray. I believe that the way you want to install these vents would work well, especially considering that you will also be adding a roof vent. While I have not personally seen anyone install these vents in this manner, there really is no right or wrong way to install them and your way...
view full answer... - Orientation of the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 When InstalledIt really is up to you how you want to install the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 that you referenced. The safest way will be with the opening facing down so that water doesn't leak in but we have seen people face the opening rearward without problem as well.
view full answer... - What Size Hole Should be Drilled to Install a 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer VentTo install the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 and have it functional you will need to drill a 3 inch hole with a hole saw like you suggested. If your trailer wall is thicker than 1-1/2 inches you may need to use a piece of 3 inch inside diameter PVC pipe and drill a larger hole to match the outside diameter of the 3 inch pipe.

- Where to Install Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2The Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 can be installed in any convenient location on your enclosed trailer where you have or can make a 3-inch diameter hole. These vents will work best when used in multiples, with some near the ceiling and some near the floor, to allow cooler air to enter through the lower vents and hotter air to exit through the upper vents. I recommend you use a sealant for installation, such as silicone caulk or Silicone Sealant # 0160297. You'll...
view full answer... - Installation Hardware for Trailer Vent HMAV2-AVT2To install the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 you will need 9 screws, either the Zinc Sheet Metal Screw # 31071 or Wood Screw # 30587 as well as Sealant # 0160297. I've added links to video reviews of these products for you to take a look at as well.
view full answer... - What Size Hole is Needed to Install the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer VentInstallation of the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent, # HMAV2-AVT2, requires a 3 inch diameter hole when installed in a trailer with standard trailer wall thickness, 1-1/2 inches thick or less. This is the case for most enclosed trailers, but since your trailer wall is thicker than 1-1/2 inches you will need to use an appropriate length piece of 3 inch inside diameter (ID) PVC pipe to accommodate the thicker wall. The outside diameter (OD) of the 3 inch ID pipe will then dictate the...
