Wally Byam, the AIRSTREAM founder, had both a floor and roof vent fitted thus to ensure convective currents during the night in the sleeping area. Whether in Russia or Africa on the around-the-world AIRSTREAM caravans of the 1950's and '60's it was included on his personal TT.

Vents can be the type that tilt from one end, or open from two screws. Both have advantages.

MAX FAN and FANTASTIC FAN are the upscale (but highly effective) RV roof vents. I expect to spend about $300/ea on [3] for my travel trailer. That's the high end of pricing. Look them up and study design. Just a fan in a square hole doesn't move much air.

Escape hatches on RV's are side windows that simply fall out with the release of two/three latches. Should be plenty in an RV salvage yard (of which there are several in AZ).
