It's a neat idea, but I don't think it would be useful in a trailer unless you leave vents/windows open while you tow it. The odors are sealed already by traps. Something has to pull them out for you to smell anything.

 I saw some solar powered fans built into vent caps on amazon trying to do the same thing, but they got terrible reviews.  I like the no moving parts approach better.
