Instead of using (what looked like) silicone caulking <br><br>Should use turbo poly seal and fleece instead then coat with silver UV protectant <br><br>No leaks will last 20 years minimum

They make an adaptor plate for conex containers shaped with the ribs for the whirly bird vents. About $30 on amazon.

I'm going to do the same but put it on the side near the top so maybe it won't leak 😊

How’s that vent holding up long term?

Put solar panels on top and buy auto fan used in Rv. Works in East Texas. Insulation will help as well. Not much to it.

just not sure what the PA winters with lots of snow would do to this?

Great video. Just curious how many degrees do you think it dropped your 40’ box by adding the vent?
