You need to open all your windows slightly in hot weather because the windows are manufactured in two separate halves and bonded to together. When the inner section sticks to the window sealing rubber the outer half will expand with the heat so any restrictions of the two halves not being able to expand and contract at the same rate will definitely break the bond causing window delamination. That's more reason for the windows to warp than the blinds being down, however, if you leave the blinds up then the strong sunlight will fade the upholstery.

I don't think any UK caravan has the option to open the front skylight above the front windows. We dislike ours due to the heat it allows in and to keep the caravan cool you need to pull down the blind.

I hate the sky lights . I just don’t see the point in them . They need to be closed at night . Also when very hot and sunny . So the only time they are of any use is in the rain or cold .
We have a swift conqueror and the heat has caused a lot of problems with a trim that warped and became unstuck . Some of the adhesive went on the blind and they stuck so couldn’t be pulled up or down .
This now needs to be replaced .

Try and find any caravan without these sky lights . I wouldn’t want to open one either . I prefer a row of cupboards along the front . .
