Recommended Solar Fans for Built Up Heat in a Cargo Trailer

Updated 04/16/2018 | Published 04/13/2018

Question:

Does anyone make a solar powered fan that can readily attach to a SIDE vent on a cargo trailer. Mine is 7x16 and gets quite warm inside during the summer. Since I only use it for flea markets every 2 or 3 weeks, Id like to attempt to keep it cooler inside when not in use. I know the two side vents - one near the top at one end and the other near the floor at the opposite corner - allow for some natural air circulation BUT Id really like to help get the heat out quicker if possible. Thanks in advance.

We have the Ultra-Fab Solar-Powered Plumbing Vent for Motor Homes - 7" Diameter x 3-3/4" Tall # UF53-945001 which is designed to be mounted on the roof. My recommendation is to use this roof vent and allow your side vents to stay as they are. This fan will allow the hot air that rises to be forced out to cool down your trailer and allow you to draw air through the side vent locations.
