The RVinnotec Plus Fan Motorised 12V DC Skylight is an excellent choice for all-weather caravan, motorhome and campervan ventilation because it is designed to keep air moving even when the lid is closed, so you still get ventilation in wet or windy conditions. Its combination of high airflow, weather resistance, lighting and integrated blinds makes it especially useful for year-round touring and off-grid camping.
Is the RVinnotec Plus Fan skylight good for all-weather caravan ventilation?
The RVinnotec Plus Fan is very well suited to all-weather use, offering powerful airflow up to 3000 m³/h along with an IPX4 rating, which means it can withstand water sprayed from any direction without leaking. Ten intake and ten extract speeds, a built-in thermostat and the ability to run with the lid closed give you precise control over temperature and condensation in typical changeable UK conditions.
With 10 fan speeds in both delivery and extraction modes, and maximum noise levels of around 47 dB on intake and 53 dB on extract, it is a practical option if you sleep close to the vent or stay on quieter sites. The 12 V DC motor draws up to 20 W plus around 4 W for the integrated LED lighting, with a peak current of roughly 1.6 A at speed 10, making it a good match for leisure batteries and solar-powered, off-grid setups.
It is designed to install into the common 400 x 400 mm roof aperture and covers roof thicknesses from 27 to 80 mm on a flat surface, with both a manual knob and remote control for flexible operation, including adjustable temperature from about -2 °C to 40 °C. For everyday camping use, it offers a room thermostat, dimmable LED lighting and effective air exchange even with the lid closed, helping to reduce condensation in cooler months.
The built-in mosquito net and pleated blackout blind let you control insects and light levels without needing extra accessories, making the roof opening more comfortable in both day and night use. Durable impact- and UV-resistant materials, together with a choice of white, black or transparent smoked dome options, mean you can match the skylight to your vehicle’s style while knowing it is designed for long-term exposure on the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the RVinnotec Plus Fan is designed for tough conditions. Its clever dome design and reliable seals keep water out even while you’re on the move. With an IPX4 rating, it handles water spray from any direction, and you can safely run the fan with the lid closed during storms or motorway journeys.
It runs efficiently on 12 V DC with a maximum fan draw of 20 W plus 4 W for the LEDs, peaking at about 1.6 A on speed 10. Lower speeds use even less power. Most leisure batteries cope easily, particularly with solar top-up, and the thermostat helps save energy by running only when needed.
At full speed 10, noise reaches 47 dB in delivery mode and 53 dB in extraction, which is like a quiet conversation. Mid-range speeds (4-6) are much quieter, perfect for sleeping or staying on peaceful sites. The fan changes direction smoothly without sudden noises.
It fits the standard 400 x 400 mm cut-out, common on many UK caravans and motorhomes. Roof thickness should be between 27-80 mm on a flat surface. Installation is straightforward with just sealant and screws — simply check your existing rooflight matches before ordering.
The built-in thermostat lets you set target temperatures from -2 °C to 40 °C, and the fan activates automatically to maintain it. The remote control makes it easy to adjust speed, direction, lights and temperature from your bed. The manual knob also opens and closes the lid smoothly.
Everything you need is included: a pleated blackout blind, mosquito net, adjustable LED lighting and remote control. No additional extras are required for a basic setup. Choose from white, black or transparent smoked dome options to perfectly match your van.
Yes. It provides reliable air exchange even with the lid closed, ideal for added security or poor weather. You get the full 3000 m³/h with the lid open, but closed mode still moves enough air to effectively reduce condensation.
