    I still doubt it's that effective even if he's using a 12v fan reversed. All things being equal, it's probably better than nothing at all. I can't get over the hole cut into the front of the trailer though, what did he use, a claw hammer? ;-)

    That's a small door on the trailer. A lot of reefers have those for hauling vented loads like onions and potatoes. That's the reason for the steps going up the corner of the trailer, to get up to it and open it.

    That's a vent he has it run to. Notice the grab handle for climbing up.

    Exactly, the fan on the unit has to move large amounts of air all the way to the back of a 53' trailer so if he fed the line into the chute/output on the unit it would probably blow your hat off in the cab.
