I haven't experienced a problem that needs solving.

Not on the bathroom door, but here is a picture of the vents we used.

Any pictures of the new bathroom door when closed? Just wondering how it looks.

I'm not quite sure why the cupboards and bathroom doors on our trailers need venting. Don't they get aired out every time they get opened?

If you're camping in cold/cool weather, any trapped air can cool down and then you get condensation. If you only camp in the warm weather, then it's just your normal mustiness issues.

I guess the old scientist in me questions this. Without a fan inside, I can't see much of an air exchange through the vents (cupboards and closets) that wouldn't be exceeded by just the normal opening and closing. I must be missing something here.

I think I'll ask Reace to install vents under my bed,dinette areas, and kitchen areas. Air movement in winter keeps condensation to a minimum. In the summer there is little value obtained.

I just leave all the cupboard doors open over winter.

That would be my choice, too, as with them closed and without a fan operating inside the cupboard I just don't see much of an exchange of air through the vents.

I wanted the vents for the bathroom door (or door trimmed now as the case may be) because I find it so darn cool inthe bathroom-(I just want some of the furnace heat or living heat to get in there a bit)-we tend to camp in May and September and in the Pacific Wet Coast it can often be darn cool at night in the bathroom!!!

Karen's thoughts have made me recognize that I wasn't being skeptical enough about the vents on the cabinet doors. The idea needs testing. It is possible that convection will provide enough air circulation to help, or it may not, but gut feel says she's right.
I may add a couple of vents on the cabinet doors leading under the bed storage, but I won't go overboard adding vents to everything until I've tested things.
But, I think vents on the bathroom door do still make sense. We have both a window and a ceiling vent in there, one or both of which will be open at least a crack most of the time. With the ceiling vent in the main area of the trailer open and the fan on, a door vent will help circulate air in the bathroom.
