Ceiling Vents Open during storage ????

I leave mine open pretty much all the time. Even when running AC (probably should close them). Only time I close the bathroom one is when I am dry camping and running the rear fantastic fan with the front bedroom windows open. If I don't close the bathroom vent, I don't get enough air moving to cool the bedroom.

I have found soot in my bathroom this year. But we've had it bad for fires and smoke. Never seen a drop of water.

In my case I close them and then open just a tiny crack.....to prevent them from sticking to the rubber seals. (I'm hoping that one more application of silicone will stop that from happening.)

I close completely when going down the road because I have no vent covers.......and the buffeting air flow at ~70 MPH (cat 1 hurricane) can really screw them up if not closed (again with no covers).

Unfortunately I have to store my TT in a storage lot. That lot is dirt. I do have vent covers but my vents stay closed in storage or I will have dust every where in the TT. It is pretty dry here in CO but I usually use the passive dehumidifiers if needed.

So, depends on where your TT is stored, humidity levels, heat, etc. There is not one solution fits all for everyone.

Like others I leave mine open all of the time except when the air is on. When using the heater I leave one of the three cracked open. When in storage it is indoors in a secured area so I don't worry about theft. JMO

First mod I did to this TT was put vent covers on. The vents stay open 24/7 except if the heat is running. I leave them open when the AC is running to hopefully let some of the hot air out.

I initially left them open to vent the formaldehyde fumes. Now they just stay open to try to keep the temperature inside equalized with the temperature outside.

Mine are under covers and open year round. I only close them when camping and running the heater. Otherwise they're open.

This is why you purchase these covers, leave it open and let the unit breath and stay dry.
