Anyone ever install "attic" vents in a Shasta?

It seems to me that a lot of folks spend a lot of time sealing things up so tightly that any water that does get in (and some always does, eventually), it's trapped in there, while it seems to me that getting some air in there is a good thing.

Probably makes more sense in a larger trailer, but what I was thinking was how easy it would be to run a couple of perforated 1" PVC pipes from end to end above the insulation, with the ends vented to the outside fore and aft. Might help to save your frame in case of unseen leaks, and it would be cheap and simple to do. You could air out your attic every time you tow it somewhere. I'm planning a small shrouded and screened drain in the belly pan to make sure water can't build up underneath in any real amount, but the attic vent just occurred to me...

My ceiling studs, for lack of a better descriptor, are only 3/4" thick to begin with and they run across the roof line not with it. I might be able to get a 1/2 pvc pipe up there but it would be a tight fit. I keep mine under a tarp carport, so I keep the vent by the bunk open a bit, most of the time to keep the camper from getting stuffy. This summer I would open things up once every couple of weeks. I think that works well. Even if it was in the elements you could do that and keep things dry as long as a sneaky storm didn't pop up, then things would kind of backfire.
