placed high in the sidewall the warm air current would take advantage of thermal lift and would exhaust drawing in more air thru the "floor registers"

What is that vent called when I go to a Lowes or Menards looking for it? And does it have a built in bug screen? And is it cheap?

Is there an actual, documented case which can be verified that anyone has died in a teardrop from the lack of ventilation? Ever? Inquiring minds want to know.

dguff wrote:Yes, I read the first post and all of the others. It was a simple question. Has anyone ever died from suffocating in a teardrop trailer due to a build-up of CO2? Not to say that it couldn't happen but just wondering if in the 60 or 70 years of active teardropping if it ever has. I stated that I use my ventilation system and would recommend that everyone should have a fresh air source.
