Will the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent with 12 Volt Fan Work Well in a 4x8 Tear Drop Trailer

Question

Question:

Hi- I just bought a small homemade tear trailer 4x8. I wanted to get more ventilation without installing a large vent which would be large in my little ceiling. Everything is 12v or battery in my trailer so I was interested in possible solar panel. Sunshine in my state of Florida is no problem but, the heat is. Do you think this little unit will be sufficient? Thanks

Since your trailer is small and the Vanair roof vent # VP-543SP can move 100 cubic feet of air per minute it would perform well. When wiring the vent the white wire is ground and the black wire connects to a 12 volt power source. I have included a link to a video review of this vent for you.

I called my contact at Ventline and asked about part #VP-543SP. The fan is made of plastic. They said typically a solar panel is used to charge a 12V battery and the fan would then draw the power from the battery. This fan draws only 1-1/2 amps so…
