Do you have a opening you can slide open on your unit to let alot of air blow down? It seems there may be a design issue with those units. When the air blasts down on that closed vent it doesn't know where to go. check this thread out..

What closed vent? With the deflectors, all of them are open - and working fine, I might add.

Buy white styrofoam bowls and cut then in half. Connect to roof with double face tape. On our TT they fit perfectly on the vents themselves.

The wood deflector looks a bit rough for a finished roof. Sorry

And styrofoam bowls would look less rough? I'll stay with the wood, thank you - they'll look better after I finish them.

The bowls can be painted to match your ceiling. They are low profile and finished properly look like they came with the trailer. There are thin plastic bowls that also work well. They come in a varity of colours.

The ceiling vents for our A/C have left a little to be desired - the vanes didn't change the airflow much.

I came up with ((link removed 8/2/08)).

Not an example of great craftsmanship, but they do the job.....

Has anyone else done something similar to this?

Well since you removed the link to the picture I have no idea what you are talking about. With a 2 speed fan on my A/C I haven't noticed a problem.

What really helps in evening out the temps in a TT both summer and winter is a couple of fans one in the back and one in the front to better circulate the air especially if you're using an aux electric heater in the winter. They don't have to be very big or high speed to do the job.
