• Can The Polar Vent For Enclosed Trailers # PLR20 Be Painted
  The Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20 is zinc plated aluminum so you would need to pretreat the vent to remove the zinc coating to prevent the paint from peeling off as the zinc reacts with the paint's binder.

• Does the Multi-Purpose Ventilator # PLR20 Come with Mounting Hardware
  Multi-Purpose Ventilator # PLR20 does not come with hardware and there isn't a specific hardware kit for it. The reason for this is that it can be installed on pretty much anything which means the mounting surfaces can be made of different materials (wood, aluminum, steel, fiberglass). So rather than include hardware for all of those applications no hardware is included so you can select hardware that best fits your needs and matches what the surface material would require.

• Where to Cut 4 Vent Holes for Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20

• How Many Polar Vents Should be Used for 24' Enclosed Trailer in Southwest Florida
  Since you have a 24' trailer and are located in Southwest Florida you'll probably want at least 4 of the Polar Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20; 2 at the top front corner of the trailer and the other 2 at the bottom corner on the opposite sides of the trailer. This will help to provide the most airflow, especially when you're traveling down the road. If you plan on leaving these vents open most of the time to help get rid of heat then I'd also install some type of mesh to help manage...

• How Tight is Seal of Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20
  When the Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20 is closed and air is blowing from outside to in there would be a very minimal amount of air that passes through. It wouldn't be a noticeable amount but it's not an air tight seal. There would not be noticeable wind noise though.

• Exhaust Vent Recommendation for Promaster Van with Minimal Vehicle Interior Projection
  The roof vents like the Fan-Tastic part # FV801208 install with a very minimal projection into the interior of the vehicle. If you check out the picture I attached you'll see that the ceiling height of your van would basically be unaffected.

• Recommended Trailer Vent and Fan for Outside Air in Parked Trailer
  The Vent for Enclosed Trailers - Aluminum - 12-1/4" Wide x 10-1/2" Tall # PLR20 will allow outside air to flow but there is no cubic foot per minute rating as that would require a fan or direct wind for a vehicle sitting still. The fan you use will dictate that and the air flow of that fan will be lower than the rating because only four 2 inch diameter holes will draw air. I recommend the Flex-a-lite 12" Trimline Reversible Electric Radiator Fan - 12V - 1,105 CFM # FLX112 for your applicatio...

• Available Trailer Sidewall Vent Covers
  We carry a range of complete trailer vents for roofs and walls as well as many replacement parts that you can see on the linked page. From your description it sounds like you may need both a side ventilator like Polar Multi-Purpose Ventilator # PLR20 (12-1/4 x 10-1/2) and a Side Cowl Ventilator # PLR1715 (6-15/16 x 11-5/8). As you can see these items do not have the exact specific dimensions you are looking for. These are not intended for any one particular trailer type or brand so they...

• Recommended Placement and Sealant for Installing Polar Multi-Purpose Ventilator PLR20
  The Polar Multi-Purpose Ventilator # PLR20 has a lever to close the vent when there is risk of heavy rain (please see the linked photo) but the vent will block most water since it also has down-facing louvers on the outside. The lever lets you choose how much airflow you want. Using one at each end of the trailer is a good way to provide cross-ventilation and for the most cooling I suggest placing the rear vent up high (so it can expel more hot air from inside the trailer) and the front...

• Could Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20 Install on Floor
  The Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20 was intended to be a wall vent but depending on how you installed it and as long as you didn't step on it you could most likely use it as a floor vent. We don't have anything similar that was designed for the floor but maybe the # A10-3366VP would be something you'd consider since it's smaller.

• Recommended Wall Vents and Roof Vent for Enclosed Trailer Air Movement
  The Multi-Purpose Ventilator - Aluminum # PLR20 will work to help you move air through your trailer. You may also be interested in the Side Cowl Ventilator with Screen # PLR1715. For the best air movement and still the weather protection, I recommend these side vents for the lower vents and then using a roof vent like # MA00-06401K if you have a trailer battery. If not, then I recommend the Ultra-Fab Solar-Powered Plumbing Vent for Motor Homes - 7" Diameter x 3-3/4" Tall # UF53-945001...

• Does The Polar Vent for Enclosed Trailers Have An Interior Mounting Piece
  The Vent for Enclosed Trailers # PLR20 would only mount on the outside of the trailer and would not have a piece to go inside of the trailer. I recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the mounting flange and non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 around the outer edge for a waterproof seal.

• Vent Options for a Trail Lite Camper Trailer
  For a basic 12V powered vent you can use something like the Ventline # V2094SP-30 which has a manual lift and is more on the simple end of things. For something that is a bit more high-end we have the MaxxFan # MA00-07500K which has a powered lift, thermostat, and a cover on it so that you can keep the vent opened up even when it's raining outside. No matter which vent you end up going with don't forget you also need some hardware and sealant which you can find in the kit # 344270KITW. We...

• Options to Vent a Storage Compartment on an RV
  I actually like your first idea better because we have trailer vents that you can install on your door to help keep water spray away from the internal components.

These options will not only help to give you ventilation while protecting your solar setup from the elements but they will also help to give you a clean looking installation.

• Recommended Vent Setup to Cool Enclosed Trailer Mobile Workshop
  Even the smallest RV air conditioning units we offer will require 115-volt AC electrical service of at least 11-amps to operate properly. The Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner will draw almost 4000-watts at startup and even once running it will still need close to 1300-watts to operate. Delivering this amount of power via high capacity 12V batteries and an inverter such as the 5000-watt Go Power # 34280179 will be a fairly costly and bulky proposition. Instead what I recommend...
