Re: Vents

Closed and for the "sky light" over the rest room we have that insulated too, Weather and bugs are the reasons

Re: Vents

Got the new Maxaires installed today,takes about a hour.They cover up your vents to prevent rain and bugs out of trailer.With the really fine screens in them ,I can see how they keep bugs out.We will see.

Smile Re: Vents

I leave mine open. I crack open the one on the bathroom and one in the front area. That way you always got some air circulation inside the unit. Though, we have our rig under a barn style roof,so weather wise we do not have any isues.:cool:

I had a few gnats get through the screening in mine, but it kept all else out.

Re: Vents

Window on the back of the "fifth" stays open slightly. It is almost under the eave and about 3' from the garage door. It also opens over a kitchen counter so even a slight bit of rain that might sneak in is no issue. Bath vent is also open but it has a cover over it so rain is not an issue.

Happy Camping!
