We are commissioning the custom conversion of a campervan. When travelling, ventilation for the front seat passengers will be easy, via the usual cab windows/vents. However at the back there will be no opening windows. There will be a mini-Heki (half way back) and, at the back, a Fiamma roof vent with fan. Does anyone know:

1. Can these safely be left open (a little) while moving or do they have to be locked closed?

2. Can the 12V fan run even when the Fiamma vent is closed?

3. If they are fitted in the mode 'with permanent ventilation' are we going to spend our time on cold evenings trying to stop the draughts?

Can anyone advise?

Hello Linda.

My old-fashioned vents need lashing down to prevent lifting while travelling.  I do believe though that the more advanced vents you mentioned have facility to enable ventilation while "closed".  Not sure myself how effective this is though.  Hopefully someone with personal experience of these will be along soon.
