When it comes to a vent that can be installed above your shower, I have two options for you. One being the Ultra-Fab Solar-Powered Plumbing Vent, # UF53-945001, and the other, a standard roof vent like the Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent, # V2092SP-28.

The Ultra-Fab Solar-Powered Plumbing Vent, # UF53-945001, is a solar powered unit so it does not actually wire into the electrical system of the trailer and may help to pull moisture out of your trailer. It is only 7 inches in diameter and 3-3/4 inches tall so you would have to make some modifications to your trailer since your current vent is 14-1/4 inch x 14-1/4 inch.

Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent, # V2092SP-28, will fit your 14-1/4 inch x 14-1/4 inch opening and provide a way for fresh air to enter and hot air to escape your trailer. To install this vent you can use Installation Kit, # 344270KITW, which includes sealant, tape, and screws.

The Ventline Roof Vent with 110V Fan, # V2128SP-01, that you mentioned is not approved to be used above a tub or shower because the electrical motor is not tested to hold up to the moisture conditions of a tub or shower. In addition, placing an electric fan above a tub/shower increases the risk of electrical shock.
