Recommended Parts to Install 120V Roof Vent on Enclosed Cargo Trailer

Question

Question:

I have an enclosed Look cargo trailer. I need to add a roof vent. It has to be 120v. We were looking at Ventline Roof Vent w/ 120V Fan - Manual Lift - 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 - White - Polar Trim, but we are not sure how to mount it or what vent cover to use. What is your recommendation?

The Ventline Roof Vent w/ 120V Fan # V2128SP-01 is exactly what you need since it is the only option that works on 120V AC power.

You'll install this with the kit # 344270KITW and you'll need to build in some bracing under your roof if you don't already have provisions for an RV roof vent. I'm attaching an installation video where we installed a MaxxFan Deluxe on a Ford Transit and had to build in some bracing for the roof vent.

Then for a vent cover I recommend the Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze # DMC38FR since it comes with universal mounting hardware and can be installed with pretty much any vent on the market - just take note that you might not be able to fully open your roof vent with this installed.
