The place I bought has only one "vent" it's a screened window
approx 1.5x2 feet in size. It's the only opening.
No moisture problems that I can see but will give it a good
look this weekend. Can't see venting in the winter.
Gets to 30 below on a regular basis in my town.
In the other three seasons there are always showers and
a lots of morning dew. So it's more moisture outside
than inside. Trailer floors are original and all are straight
in the portion that has not been renovated.
It's a permanent foundation. Looks like rigid insulation board
that was done over on the outside with 1/2" of cement.
Stucco I would call it. The whole thing looks about 3" + thick.
The soil under the trailer is not moist and really on the dry side.
I will probably cut in one more hole but don't see the need
to vent it more than that unless I notice problems underneath.
Soil is really sandy in the area so that might be a real big help.
If water puddles when it rains it's gone within 10-15 minutes.
One vent?

Hi,
I am going to split your post and start a new thread with it.
Although you are taking about venting it is still different than the orginal thread. Others will have comments /suggestions for you.
Thanks for understanding.

The difference between success and failure is who gives up first!
Do you have any access panels to get under your home to yearly inspections?
Also, I believe that it is recommended to have one vent per 150ft square feet of space. You can do a search here on site...or some one will jump in and give the specifics.

YUP, that is a must or at at least I think so LOL. You live up North correct, if so better get under there before the cold weather settles in. Now is a real good time to think about weatherizing the home for winter. In our Articles link above I believe there are some tips to follow.
