Best Vent Location To Prevent Items From Blowing Around While Providing Trailer Ventilation
Question:
Hello. I will be purchasing some vents for my trailer. Which is the best way to face the vents. I do not want everything flying around in the trailer but I need some sort of ventilation as the trailer is unbearable without them.

When installing a product such as the 2-Piece Polypropylene Trailer Vent for 3" # HMAV2-AVT2 inside the trailer, the best way to face vents to prevent items blowing around the trailer depends on the vent location. There are slots on one side of the unit, allowing you to position the vent for best airflow. I recommend installing the vents near the top of the trailer to get the hottest air of the trailer out.
With the vent being installed closer to the roof of the trailer, point the slots of the vent up toward the roof (see pictures). That will ensure you will get the proper ventilation because the air will bounce from the roof and work it way down to the rest of the trailer without blowing items around as much. As long as you use some sealant and you have the slotted holes facing down, you really shouldn't have to worry about moisture or water getting inside the unit. If you install with the vent holes up then rain can get into the trailer.
