It's looking really good. Are you going to put two vents on your trailer? Or, will one of the windows be screened? If you had two vents, one fan could suck cool air in while the other pushes warm air out. Also, do you have plans to install a vent cover?
Thanks, Diesel. It is good to be able to figure out some of these details like how to install doors and windows, since they have been on my mind. Nothing like a good rainy day in the shop for creative solutions.
I have one vent fan, near the front of the trailer, and the rear roof is reserved for the 140 watt solar panel, which takes up quite a bit of space. The 40" side windows do open (hinged at the top) and they have screens, so I think airflow will be ok. The windows on the front and rear of the trailer are fixed and do not open. That's by design, as rain and spray hit the hardest in these locations when driving.
Speaking of solar panels, I see from your signature you have a 160 watt panel on your Arctic Fox trailer. How do you like it? Can you tell me how you mounted it and how you passed the wires through the roof? I am wondering whether to mount mine flat on 1" feet for simplicity, or to get a manually tilting frame that I can raise and lower to optimize sun-catching. I'm also wondering about the best way to route the power cables indoors that would be least likely to leak or stress the cables out over time. Are you using 12 or 14 AWG wire for your system?
Thanks for the info, and for following!
