Best Location for MaxxAir Covers?

We have a 35' bunkhouse with 4 vent locations. There is a vent in the front bedroom, one in the main cabin, and a third in the rear bunkhouse. The fourth is a fantastic fan in the bathroom.

I've picked up 2 MaxxAir covers and am trying to decide where to mount them. I will put one in the rear bunkhouse. I can't decide if the other should go in the main cabin or the front bedroom. I'd like to put it up front so that the cross-ventilation covers the entire rig, but I'm worried that the bedroom wall would interrupt too much of the flow (air could only flow through the two door). If I put it mid-cabin, however, the bedroom won't get any of the ventilation flow. I don't want to cover every vent, so I want to keep it to just the two (at least for now).

So, thoughts? Where would you locate them?
  • so every time someone uses the toilet when its running, it sucks the stink right from the black tank when the toilet is flushed.

    That's the problem. Turn the fan off when using the toilet. Turn it back on after flushing only after the flapper is closed.
  • If only going for 2 I would put them on the ones that you open the most often.If not then get another one :B

    Unfortunately, we don't run our fantastic fan much. It was installed in the bathroom (right above the toilet), so every time someone uses the toilet when its running, it sucks the stink right from the black tank when the toilet is flushed.
  • Why not cover every vent? Helps cut down on heat, keep them open more often, helps keep the vent covers from damage.

    Buy 2 more or put it over the Fantastic fan so you can run it when it rains.
