My wife is a fanatic about cold(fresh air-not ac)We presently have a hybrid and she sleeps with the flaps open. We want to upgrade to a 5th, but have some concerns about the temperature in the bedroom and how well outside air circulates. Any experiences?

We put a FANTASTIC FAN in the bedroom of our Cardinal and open the two windows at the head of the bed. Also open the window at the foot. No problem getting fresh air with this setup. Put fan on exhaust.

We are the same way, we like fresh air.
Make sure you get a fiver with windows on both sides of the bedroom slide. Then as Beartruck said - get a Fantastic Fan installed in the bedroom. We have three of them, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

I agree with the idea of an exhaust fan but I would put it in the farthest end of the camper away from the bedroom to: 1. minimize fan noise in the bedroom, and, 2. have air flow through the entire coach not just around the bedroom.
BTW we also have one in the bathroom to remove steam/moisture when taking a shower.

Fantastic Fan is the only way. We have three also. Make sure anything close to it is nailed down. We also have the option of turning just the fan on with our heat/air which helps cool things down without turning on the ac

Our Fantastic is in the kitchen and it pulls air just fine through the bedroom windows.

Ditto the fantastic fans but I also put my A/C fan switch on all the time so air is moving even when the compressor is off.

We have a Cougar with a slide out queen. This gives us a window on either side of the bed. The windows are only about 14 X 8 But that gives us a 7 X 8 inch wide opening by each of our heads. We crank up the Sure-flo fan that we had installed in the roof in the bedroom area, and we have a WONDERFUL breeze that keeps both of us very comfortable. Happy camping!
