Vent Recommendation for Storage Box on Trailer to Reduce Condensation
Question:
Hello, I found your site through Google. Last fall we bought a 2005 Aliner Expedition trailer: it has a 32 cu ft storage box mounted at the front on the frame. Our problem is that condensation forms inside the box: cool interior air plus sun. I suspect condensation may not be a problem in warmer areas but we live in Canada and I need to ventilate the box. I think that I will need two vents in order to ensure adequate air movement. Questions: As we haul the trailer, will air movement cause rain to be sucked in through the vents by negative air pressure? If this unit is not the solution, can you suggest an alternate product Please and thank you.

If you installed the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent # WHMAV2-WAVT2 on your storage box with the half circle portion on the outside of it facing down it would be pretty hard for rain water to get in the box. Especially if you sealed it with a # 344270KITW as you installed it. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
