The lowly RV vent!
The lowly RV vent is something that can make a big difference in your RVing joy.
Or, by ignoring the vents, it could cause RVing nightmares.
I don't know if you have noticed, but you will get a little bit hotter than you think you ought to be simply by being in an RV. Why? Because of radiated energy and also because of a small volumetric space, your own body heat and such can make an RV “stuffy” and hot.
To make your RV even better than simply having windows for a cross breeze, someone came up with the idea of a roof vent. This makes complete sense as it will allow hot air near the ceiling of the RV to escape through the the vent, drawing in more comfortable air through the windows.
But vents have many aspects and I'll list a few in bulleted form:
- Unpowered RV Vents
- Powered RV Vents
- Roof problems with RV Vents

I am trying to figure out how to clean my roof vents without getting upon the roof. They are full of bugs and dust webs. I live in my 3rd wheel and am 71 and can’t get up on the roof. Can I use my hair dryer to blow the junk out ? Thanks for any info.

You know I’ve never done that. My first inclination would be to take out the screen from the inside. I think many vents allow this. The for the ones that won’t, I’d hire a kid for $10 to climb up and clean it out.
