Question:

I have a 16 x 7 foot closed box trailer. It gets very hot inside. I store a small farm tractor in it and am concerned the intense heat will damage the plastic and rubber parts including tires. Is there a vent that would give me the airflow to mitigate that situation at least to some degree. I am thinking multiple vents so that the air flows from low on the trailer to high vents on the trailer.

Expert Reply:

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 to allow the fan to draw the air through the trailer and out.
