adding more vents is relatively easy. most ductwork is a rectangular plenum running most of the length of the trailer from the front and back AC vents.
so, if you remove a vent, you can likely see what the run looks like, and if you have two vents in a row, that shows where the duct is, and at the last vent run a fish tape to see how much further it goes. likely the length of the trailer.
then just either cut a hole for a vent or if you want to be real neat, get a large hole saw of the diameter needed.

aireport vents are the ones I used.

I guess my subject line wasn't thought out very well... These are the exact vents covers I was looking at. So I can cut the air off when I want in 3 spots.
Did you used to use them to cut off the air flow? Did your AC ever freeze over?
Thanks,

use them all the time to either cut off ac to the bedroom or living area. never had an issue.
but I also added more vents in the ductwork so I still always have at least the original number of vents open. I added two more in the bedroom, 1 in the bathroom and 2 more in the living area in addition to the original vents. then replaced all of them with aireport vents.
adding more vents helps as well.

Hi All,
When I cut the AC on, every vent seems to vary in the amount of air coming out. Some of the farther vents have more air coming out of the closer vents to the unit. Naturally if I close some of the vents not in use (above the loft beds in the up position and restroom) the air will increase in the vents I would prefer to use. Someone mentioned to me that if I do that it might cause my AC unit to freeze. Is this true?
My AC is 15K with a dump vent in a 2018 28SAG Eclipse Attitude 5th wheel toy hauler.
Thanks,
JL
