Vanlook Vent 280 × 280 mm skylight with blackout blind and fly screen, at Braguscamp
Small but effective, the Vanlook Vent 280 × 280 mm skylight is designed for the places where a larger roof light will not fit: washrooms, showers, above the cooker or the narrow roof of a compact van. With its adjustable 12 V fan it extracts moisture and odours, and it adds a touch of daylight to a corner that is often dark.
Like the rest of the Vanlook skylights, it has an integrated blackout blind and fly screen, so you can choose between full darkness for sleeping and fresh air without insects. The frame is designed for a total roof thickness of 30 mm (±1.5 mm), and the white finish blends with most van and motorhome roofs.
The 280 × 280 mm format is the right choice for a roof opening over a washroom, shower or cooker. If you are unsure, compare it with the 400 × 400 mm and 700 × 500 mm models below. Braguscamp ships this Vanlook skylight to Spain and Europe, and our team can help you before you cut your roof.

Features of the Vanlook Vent 280 × 280 mm skylight
Natural light from the roof
A roof light changes the feel of a van: the 280 × 280 mm opening lets daylight fall into the space over a washroom, shower or cooker, so the interior feels larger and you need less artificial light during the day. Because the light comes from above, you keep privacy at the side windows even when parked in a town or a busy campsite.
Ventilation where heat builds up
Warm air rises and collects under the roof, which is why a roof opening is the most effective way to cool a van. Opening the skylight lets that hot air escape, and with a side window open you create a natural flow of fresh air. It also helps evacuate moisture produced by cooking, showering and breathing at night.
Integrated blind and fly screen
The blackout blind closes off the light completely for a lie-in or a nap in the afternoon, while the fly screen keeps mosquitoes out when the skylight is open. Both are housed in the inner frame, so there are no curtains or extra covers to fit, and they are always ready when you need them.
Adjustable 12 V fan
The Vent version is described with an adjustable 12 V fan, which is especially useful in small spaces. In a washroom it removes moisture after a shower; above the cooker it extracts steam and cooking smells. Running at low speed, it keeps a gentle airflow at night that helps reduce condensation on the walls and ceiling.
Installation on 30 mm roofs
The skylight is designed for a total thickness of 30 mm (±1.5 mm), which you usually reach with the roof skin, insulation and an inner frame. Cut the 280 × 280 mm opening in a flat area between ribs, protect the edges against rust and seal the outer flange carefully with butyl or a suitable roof sealant.

Dimensions and where to fit it
With its 280 × 280 mm format, this skylight is typically fitted over a washroom, shower or cooker. Measure the free, flat space between the roof ribs before deciding, and check that any roof bars or a roof top tent leave room for it.
✓ Dimensions: 280 × 280 mm

✓ Weight: 10 kg
✓ Model: VANLOOK-1
Installation and compatibility
Mark the 280 × 280 mm opening on a flat section of the roof, away from ribs, and cut with a suitable metal jigsaw. Treat the edges against rust and build an inner frame so the total thickness reaches 30 mm (±1.5 mm). Seal the outer flange generously and tighten the screws evenly.
If the skylight has electrical functions, connect them to your leisure battery circuit with appropriate protection, or have an installer do it. If you plan to carry a roof top tent or roof rack, check the clearance first. For any doubts, contact our customer service on WhatsApp (+34 690 086 820) or by email at info@braguscamp.com.
Tips to get the most out of it

✓ Use the blackout blind on summer mornings to keep the van cooler.
✓ Ventilate while cooking or after a shower to limit condensation.

Frequently asked questions about the Vanlook Vent 280 × 280 mm skylight
Where is a 280 × 280 mm skylight usually fitted?
The compact 280 × 280 mm skylight is ideal for washrooms and showers, above the cooker, in a narrow section of roof or in small vans where there is little room between ribs. It is often added as a second roof vent next to a larger 400 × 400 or 700 × 500 mm skylight.
What roof thickness is the 280 × 280 mm skylight designed for?
According to the sheet, it is designed for a total thickness of 30 mm with a tolerance of ±1.5 mm. In a van this is usually achieved with the roof skin, insulation and an inner frame. Plan that frame before cutting so the skylight clamps firmly.
How does it compare with the 400 × 400 mm and 700 × 500 mm skylights?
All have an integrated blind and fly screen and the same roof thickness. The main difference is the size: 280 × 280 mm for this model, 400 × 400 mm and 700 × 500 mm for the others. Choose by the flat space between ribs and by how much light and air you need.
What is included in the box?
The skylight comes with its frame, the fly screen and blackout blind, and the screws, according to the product sheet. Sealant is not listed in the contents, so buy a butyl or roof sealant suitable for your vehicle before installation.
Is it waterproof when it rains?
Closed and correctly sealed, the skylight is designed to keep rain out of the van. Most leaks on a roof come from poor sealing or an uneven cut, so take your time with that step and inspect the seal once a year, especially after hot summers.
Can I open it in wind or while driving?
Close it before driving and in strong wind, as a roof opening is exposed to gusts and airflow. In light wind or at night, a partly open skylight with the fly screen closed is a good way to ventilate the van without insects.
Can I fit it if I have a roof top tent or roof bars?
Yes, as long as there is enough clearance between the skylight and the tent or rack when it is open. Measure the height available before choosing its position. Braguscamp designs and manufactures its own roof top tents, so we can help you plan both together.
What colour and material is it?
The skylight is white and made of ABS plus metal according to the sheet. The white frame reflects sunlight and blends with most van and motorhome roofs and with light-coloured interiors, giving a tidy, finished look inside and out.
Do you ship to my country, and can I pay in instalments?
We ship to Spain and across Europe, with delivery options shown at checkout. You can also choose flexible payment and financing with seQura, subject to approval, to spread the cost of your conversion over several months.
What guarantee does it have, and how can I get advice?
The skylight is covered by the 3-year legal guarantee. For advice on size or position, send photos and measurements of your roof to our customer service on WhatsApp or by email and we will help you choose between 280 × 280 mm and the other formats.
