The MPK VisionStar M Pro with Airflow is a double-glazed caravan rooflight designed for roof thicknesses between 25-60mm. This smoked dome rooflight opens to 70 degrees with single-hand operation, making ventilation adjustments simple while you're inside your caravan. The flat profile design sits just 80mm above your roof surface, reducing wind resistance and maintaining your vehicle's streamlined appearance.
Built with an insulated frame and double-glazed polycarbonate dome, this rooflight provides excellent thermal performance whilst the tinted glazing blocks harmful UV rays. The interior frame includes both a pleated blind and flynet, giving you complete control over light levels and insect protection. What sets this model apart is its permanent ventilation feature - even with the blind closed, air can flow through 150cm² of ventilation space thanks to seals on just two sides of the dome.
The permanent airflow design makes this rooflight ideal for static caravans, holiday homes, and touring caravans where constant ventilation is beneficial. However, motorhome users should consider the standard sealed version instead, as the continuous airflow can create noise whilst driving. Installation requires a 400 x 400mm roof aperture, and the complete unit weighs approximately 3.68kg including the mounting frame.
This fits a roof thickness of 25-60 mm.Free Airflow: 150cm² only has seal on 2 sides. of dome. This means there is permanent ventilation into the vehicle. This is not recommended for inside a motorhome as it can be quite noisy as you drive along. If you are fitting to a motorhome then opt for the no-airflow version.

Frequently Asked Questions
The VisionStar M Pro is designed for roof thicknesses between 25-60mm, making it compatible with most modern motorhomes, caravans, and campervan conversions. This wide range means it fits both standard caravan roofs (typically 24-46mm) and thicker motorhome constructions without requiring special adapters.
The VisionStar M Pro is specifically designed to reduce driving noise. Its flat, low-profile dome (only 80mm height) and aerodynamic shape minimise wind noise compared to traditional higher-profile rooflights. However, if you choose the version with permanent airflow, you'll experience some ventilation noise while driving, which is why the no-airflow version is recommended for motorhomes.
The airflow version provides up to 150cm² of permanent ventilation even when the dome is closed and the blind is down. The non-airflow version (0cm² free airflow) has no permanent ventilation and is recommended for motorhomes to avoid road noise. Both versions can be opened up to 70° for ventilation when parked, but only the airflow model maintains continuous air circulation.
Yes, MPK maintains good spare parts availability for the VisionStar M Pro range. The modular design means you can replace individual components without changing the entire rooflight, and we stock a good amount of VisionStar M Pro spares.
MPK doesn't include fixings because roof thicknesses vary. You'll need 8x self-tapping screws (typically 50mm x 3.5mm for 30mm thick roofs) and elastic sealant adhesive. The exact screw length depends on your roof thickness - consult the installation instructions for specific requirements. Most installers use quality wood screws with pan heads according to DIN ISO 7049 standard.
Yes, the VisionStar M Pro fits the standard 400x400mm aperture used by most caravan and motorhome rooflights. The modular design means you can often reuse the existing outer frame and just replace the dome and internal components. However, you'll need to check your current roof thickness falls within the 25-60mm range that this model supports.
Both use the same 400x400mm cut-out, but the VisionStar M Pro offers a flatter profile (80mm vs 96mm), wider opening angle (70° vs 45°), and includes double pleated blinds as standard. The Mini Heki has better brand recognition and dealer network, while the VisionStar M Pro typically costs less and provides more ventilation options with its permanent airflow variants.
MPK recommends a maximum speed of 160km/h (100mph) for VisionStar models, which is higher than most other rooflight ranges limited to 130km/h. The rooflight must be closed and locked before driving, with the hinge mechanism facing forward in the direction of travel to prevent wind damage.
Yes, the smoked polycarbonate dome provides strong UV filtering while maintaining good light transmission. The tinted glazing reduces glare and heat buildup inside your vehicle while still allowing plenty of natural light through. The double glazing construction also provides better insulation than single-layer alternatives.
The main limitation is that MPK doesn't include installation fixings, so you'll need to source appropriate screws and sealant separately. Additionally, while the low profile reduces wind noise, it also means less internal headroom clearance compared to some competitors. The permanent ventilation versions do create some road noise in motorhomes, requiring careful model selection.
