One way to try and keep dust down and out of the interior of ones trailer is 
that when travelling, crack open the rear half of the rearmost vent cover 
while towing. By doing this the interior of the trailer has a positive 
pressure and will "force out" small minute openings because of the positive 
pressure. When a trailer is all closed up, it typically will actually pull a 
slight vacuum which means that dust and dirt particles are pulled into the 
trailers through minute openings. 

For most travelling this scenario is not apparent but when one travels a very 
dusty road then it becomes quite obvious. This is particularly true in the 
vintage units which have many more minute openings than newer ones. 

Just a thought........
