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.

If anybody tries one be sure to post a review here.  Neat idea not  sure how we'll it works when your parked  though.

 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.
