Question:
Hi, I am interested in the redline replacement pop up vent. I would be installing it facing forward so that air comes in while traveling to pressurize the trailer/rv. My question is for both the steel and aluminum version, will it withstand hours of driving with wind going against it? Or is there a chance the wind would bend it backward and/or rip it off while I am driving?

I have seen both the Steel # 9106 and Aluminum # RV-626-062 Pop-Up Vents used in a open position to allow the air to blow into the trailer while driving. While I do not see the manufacturer having any kind of speed rating on these I would be hesitant to the speed or having them opening forward depending on the material you are mounting it to. Since some trailers only use fiberglass shells I would not find that material secure enough to hold the vent open while driving. But if you have a steel structure you should not have issues.
We do have the Garnish # 2756 which will give you a clean appearance from inside your trailer.

Mine is a cargo trailer conversion. The shell is aluminum, it is thin, but the vent would be attached to that with screws through the plywood walls inside. I doubt I would be going over 60mph as my tow vehicle isn't particularly strong. Are you thinking that would be problematic. No fiberglass involved.
