    Doug, You are the quintessential "think out of the box" kind of guy. You've got a brilliant mind. Glad you were not messed up by an engineering degree. Ashley is very lucky and you are too. The two of you are a good match!! Love, love, love your channel.

    I am glad that it went well and met your needs. If you want to ventilate over long, idle periods, a small solar panel should provide enough energy to run the fan and protect the battery. If ventilation proves to fall short, a push fresh air fan could be considered along with your present pull-the-exhaust fan. Your choice of parts is ideally suited to the vehicle, defining their role in a smart, well finished package.

    What a great plan to keep fresh air moving through the bus while the family is inside. I almost suffocated in a tent that our family was sleeping in once. It was tightly zipped up and we were at a high altitude. That was scary. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

    I'm really looking forward to your first adventure. We full timed in our little 17' travel trailer for 3 yrs. Loved it. My only fear is that you will have exhaust from other vehicles coming through the back vent.
    We have an arctic fan on the roof of the trailer. 16 years never a leak yet. It switches directions to blow air out or in. You will know what works for you after you have been on the road. Just keep exhaust in mind please. ❤️ WELL DONE TEAM 💕

    You can also use removable screens that you only use when you want, and take them down and store them easily in the many place you have for storage. You can use them on the windows and emergency exit on the roof. The fans are a way better option if you're worried about leaving an easy opening for intruders while you're asleep or something.
