I've been paying closer attention to small trailers with weekend packages in them.

One thing I've noticed are some vents in the general area of where I suspect the hot water heater is located.

Is this something I will need to have placed in my trailer? My hot water heater is electric only.

I would guess a hole through the floor with a 1/2" pipe would do just fine (that's what the one in my house has). Just going to depend on how it's set up. Is your water heater one of the small ones that you put in houses or is it specifically for rv/trailer use?
