Roof vents open or shut while in covered storage?

New to the class A world. I will be storing my HR under a covered storage unit. I live in the south. Should I keep the roof vents open or shut while it’s is being stored?

We have a 36' RV. I park our coach next to our house and use a full RV cover to protect her. I installed louvered vent covers over our three roof vents and installed a louvered vent in one of our side windows. I leave all these open year round when we're not camping. We've never had any issues with doing this and the RV always smells fresh. The louvers keep the rain out but allow fresh air to circulate. The open roof vents in the summer allow the hot air to excape and this helps protect the interior from the high temps.

All three of my roof vents are kept open all the time.

All four refrigerator doors are open.

Both toilets have water in the bowl at all times to prevent the seals from drying out.

Under cover. We leave vents open. On shoreline power and have small fan running inside. Frig and freezer doors wedged open. All shades closed.
