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.

The vent opening should be facing the rear.

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.
