Venting....Push or pull?

Picked up my travel trailer about 3 weeks ago from a guy that had the roof replace and he installed 12v new vents. Shouldn't those vents when turned on be sucking air out? I know hot air rises and gathers more toward the ceiling. When I turned it on to check them to see if they work it felt like they were pulling air in instead of sucking it out. I believe he has them wired backwards. Am I right?

    Pressurized explosive vapor? Isn't that what makes engines run? :@

    During the day both my fans pull air out but at night we perfer the fan over the bed bring in a gentle cool breeze. Its whatever floats your boat...no right or wrong.

    If you had the windows closed it could feel like air is blowing in. Open a window and you'll feel it fully.

    Ok. Never mind. I checked them again and he has them in right. Its sucking air out. So Moderator if you can delete this I'd appreciate it.
