Product worked but wasn't worth the price paid. Ordered the white version which was cheaper and combined with other items for free shipping. Ordered 11/23; Kept changing the delivery till July 2024. You offered the black vents. Charged the higher price and also charged me freight. Turned me off as a customer by bait and switch. Forced me to find a better source for components.



by:

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.

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.



by:

No complaints. No leaks. Seem to work g reat.



by:

My 5x8 enclosed trailer was overheating due to no arrangements for ventilation. I added the 2-piece polypropylene trailer vents along with a rooftop solar powered plumbing vent and my problem was solved. The inside of the trailer temperature remains pretty much close to ambient temperature

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!

Works very well for the vent fan on an Air Head composting toilet, installed in a Nucamp Tab 400 travel trailer.



by:

We use these in all of our trailers, they work just fine, we have had no issues with them. They just provide a little extra ventilation. We use them as a wall vent with lots of silicone behind the screws, and have had no issues with water infiltration or insects. One of our go-to products.



by:

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!



by:

The vents were exactly what I needed to vent the kitchen of my home-built teardrop camper.



by:

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.



by:

Those parts that we purchase from etrailer always arrive as advertised and in a timely manner. The parts (we are a teardrop trailer manufacturer, and are notoriously hard to please!) are sturdy and well made. Have never had an issue with this company in the four years we have used them as one of our suppliers.

No mounting screws

This vent does not come with screws or sealant, which are required for installation. We do sell the sel-tapping screws and sealant. For self-tapping screws the part # 31071 would work great and then for sealant part # 0160297 will work.



by:

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.



by:

Like most items from here they came on time. The vents were easy to install and the how to video helped with the installation. The only thing is I wish it came with the sealant and screws but that might not work on all applications. I installed a couple more screws on the sides to match the contour of the wall.



by:

I’ll have to modify the part for airflo w.



by:

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.



by:

The outside finish has witness marks from the molding process. I’m sure it will work good. Low score for finish



by:

Good product, easy installation and good price.



by:

The product is constructed very well and after watching the video to install in my trailer, looks fairly simple to install.

Still working and providing air flow into the trailer.

I needed a rainproof vent for an outdoor electrical equipment box (WiFi). This item fit the bill perfectly. It's mounted on outside of box and an exhaust fan is mounted over the 3" hole on inside. Only used the interior vent as a guide to line up exterior part with 3" hole.

Glad I ran across this item while searching for a vent and eTrailer gave quick shipment.

I am looking to ventilate a fiberglass camper shell, especially to reduce interior condensation from breath while sleeping in cold andor rainy weather.Rather than a roof vent, I want a vent like this, or the louvered vent, and a small 12 volt fan attached. I imagine it mounted on a vertical wall of the camper shell, not the roof.Can you please describe in greater detail the exhaust fan you mounted over the 3 hole inside? Even if not a 12 volt fan, I would like to see the fan, as I may be able to find a 12 volt version.

I used a small Box Fan 3. Google Box Fan 3IN and youll get lots of hits. They come in various voltage ratings. I used 110vac, 12vdc, and 5vdc fans depending on what was available. Be advised these small fans do not move a lot of air for a camper.One thing to consider for camper installation is dust. There is no shutoff on these vents. Ive found travelling on dirt roads sucks in dust through any open holes.I had a camper problem just like yours. My solution was to spray the interior walls with a simulated fabric spray. Dont recall brand or where I got it. However it stopped getting rained on when sleeping inside. Some sort of vent is also desirable. It must be rain proof and close off for dust protection.

Vent is holding up well after 1 year in AZ sun.



by:

Installed these vents in a new enclosed trailer that only offered the overhead vent. I couldn't leave that vent open during bad weather. Using this trailer as transportation as well as storage. Motorcycle requires venting and HMAV2-AVT2 was a snap to install.

Hello George i purchased 4 of them, front part of trailer i mounted 1 each side high and rear 1 mounted low each side , we left FW TX and drove to Tigard Oregon and kept the inside of that trailer very cool we don’t have the trailer any more but our next trailer will have the same ones mounted on its walls, thanks for the txt george great product great price...



by:

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.

They dont seem to help much at all to be honest. 4 vents and still hot in the trailer.

  • Installation of Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2
    The exterior portion of the Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 has its slotted opening at the bottom surface, so you will want to be sure to install the vent with this portion facing the road. I also suggest you use a silicone caulk/sealant like TremPro # 0160297 on the mounting flange of the outside housing to help prevent entry of water from outside. For maximum effectiveness you will want to place the vents where they will receive the most air flow. This may depend...

  • How Should Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 Be Installed and Will it Keep Out Water
    The 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 is...

  • Does the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent have to Be Installed Facing a Certain Direction
    There 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.

  • Recommended Installation Point for Redline 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent HMAV2-AVT2
    The 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...

  • Availability of Trailer Vent that Mounts on Wall that Can Open and Close While Traveling
    The 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.

  • Recommended Roof Vent for Package Delivery Van
    The # 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...

  • Solar Powered Roof Vent for Cargo Trailer
    I have a solution for you, it is a smaller fan unit but we have an item that will function in the way you are looking for. The MaxxFan Mini Plus Manual RV Roof Vent, # MA00-03851 that you linked to needs a fairly stable power supply of 12 VDC and draws slightly less than 2 amps to operate. Wiring directly to solar panel will not support this as the power will fluctuate greatly and eventually damage the electronics in the in the fan. To operate, you need a stable 12 VDC power supply from...

  • Recommended Direction for Installing 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2
    I 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.

  • Would Having 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 Installed with Roof Vent Move More Air
    Having two vents open on an enclosed trailer will make a noticeable difference in the amount of air that can move through it. With the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2 installed and your roof vent open air will much easier move through the trailer. I attached an install video for this vent for you to check out as well.

  • Adding Vents to Cool an Enclosed Trailer for Transporting Honey Bees
    First of all there isn't something specifically designed for this. Your trailer is going to get extremely hot during the summer months. Using a fan like the # VP-543SP you mentioned is going to move air and cool the trailer when it's stationary but there isn't a way to determine how many fans you'll need or how well the fans will control the temperature for the sake of the bees. In addition to the fans a vent like # HMAV2-AVT2 might be something to consider. These are often used on...

  • What Size Hole is Needed to Install the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent
    Installation 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...

  • Should a Sealant Be Used When Installing Alliance 2-Piece Enclosed Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2
    When installing a vent like the Alliance 2-Piece Enclosed Trailer Vent, part # HMAV2-AVT2, to a trailer we do recommend to use a sealant like # 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 variety of applications. It can seal doors, windows, vents and other areas in enclosed trailers where water could enter. The trailer vent does not include...

  • Number of Vents to Circulate Air Through 12 by 6 Enclosed Motorcycle Trailer
    If the idea is to get the air moving through the trailer as you are traveling one vent # HMAV2-AVT2 in the front facing forwards and another in the back opposite corner facing the rear of the trailer will be the best way to do that. Adding more would help but for a trailer that size that should do the trick.

    The 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 rain)...

    The 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...

    I 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...

  • Will The JR Products Mushroom Vent # 37202-29115 Work In A Vertical Wall Application
    The JR Products Mushroom Vent # 37202-29115 will do a great job keeping out water in a horizontal application. In the vertical position, the mushroom lid would not keep out water as intended, and it would likely admit water into the interior of the vehicle. Also in a vertical application, especially the side of a camper, crosswinds may cause the lid to come loose from the base much too easily. Instead I suggest you take a look at the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # HMAV2-AVT2, as...

This 2-piece vent provides a great way to ventilate your enclosed trailer. The round interior vent along with the half-moon-shape exterior piece are both constructed of black, UV-resistant polypropylene plastic that holds...

    The only option we carry that could provide a more watertight vent for your trailer would be the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent for 3" Diameter Hole # HMAV2-AVT2, but this would require some alterations to the wall of your trailer to fill in the gap left from your 7-7.5" butterfly vent.

    The 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...

  • Side Wall Vent Recommendation for an Enclosed Trailer for Maximum Air Flow
    Since 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.
