Vent covers

I have them and seldom close the vents. They are open when going down the road and when in storage in the winter. DW likes them closed when the ac is running.

I never close mine unless I am running heat or A/C.
I also put a computer fan in one to keep some air moving. It stays on all the time vents are open, but I am in Florida.
Might be different in other places.

We have 3 Maxxair II vent covers installed on our rig with vent fans on two of them. IMO, they should come standard from the factory since they really don't cost all that much for the many benefits they provide.

We do close them when running the AC unit, but they are pretty much open all the time with at least one vent fan running as well. Been through some major downpours and never a problem with rain getting in our rig. Have experienced a few extended dust storms and they did allow some of the dust to penetrate our rig's interior, but vent covers aren't designed to prevent that anyway.

Open unless I'm running heat or AC.

Me as well. The covers are great! I agree with a previous poster who said they should come standard.

X14 or whatever we're up to.

I had two vent covers installed today. Lol, not sure why but seemed like a good idea. Does anyone leave their vents open while the TT is in storage? The covers seem like they would keep the rain out.

First thing I did with my trailer was install a Fantastic Vent and a vent cover. The fan lid stays open 24x7, rain or shine unless I'm running the heater. Agree with all of the other posters who noted that the vent covers should really come standard.

My rig had them already on the back two vents, without fans, and we kept them open all the time. The vent directly above my bed has a maxair fan and did not have a cover, I installed a cover and love it. I suppose that I may have motor problems with the maxair fan but don't care. I don't have A/C functioning anymore, so I need that fan to run rain or shine.

I close mine, just because it's part of our break-down procedure. Lots of folks leave them open, which is fine.
