BUNKIE FAQ:

DOES THE BUNKIE HAVE VENTILATION?
- Ventilation is through front door with options screen, casement windows or awning vent windows. Cross ventilation can achieved by optioning different window/door combinations. If installing a Bunkie in high heat areas, you may consider an overhead fan or an electric fan to move more air.
- Two adjustable valves are included with each kit which allows air flow when Bunkie is not in use for extended periods of time. These valves should always be used to allow passive air flow within the Bunkie. They can be installed side by side or on either side of the Bunkie to promote better cross ventilation.
