Air vents

We have a Work & Play 30wrs with several vents, in the garage area, like pictured... Is it okay to leave them open going down the road or should they be shut?

Those vents are fine being left open as long as weather permits. There is generally one near the front of the garage that is higher up and faces forward to capture air as you run down the road. The vent in the rear is low and faces rearward to exhaust the fumes in the garage.

Roof Vent

Does anyone have a vent like this? I have two on my Cedar Creek 36CKTS. It looks like water could come in this vent although I've seen no leakage. Can anyone give me some guidance? Thanks.

Your cap blew off while traveling down the road, or they were never installed....how I know this I have the same thing, and my blew off the camper and the wife was driving behind me and she saw it blow off the roof and she pulled over and pick it up....arrived home, and see gave it to me and told me it blew off the top.
Mine was not screwed on tight and it vibrated off....put it back on tight....the is your vent stack pipe--which one I do not know..

I always kept ours open while traveling with the quads in the back. Kept the fuel vapors out.

Not only is it OK, it's actually required if you have a vehicle inside that has fuel in it.
