double wide ridge vent

My 89 double wide has vented soffitt all the way around it but no ridge vent and no vents in the roof. Can I install a ridge vent when I put on the metal roofing??? Is there anything special I need to do and will it let water blow in during a storm?		Dennis Mitchell 5/17/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22097/find/
I generally do not care for ridge vents on roofs of less than 5:12 pitch but your metal roof supplier / contractor may have something that would work if your roof is lower pitch. Regardless, you need to get the roof vented for energy efficiency. Are there vents in the gable ends? On a double wide, there is often a double ridge board so getting a ridge vent cut in can be tough. You may need to go to some sort of off the ridge vent, which may be better anyway if your roof is lower pitch, which is not uncommon on double wides especially of that era.
