Why this model
Details and specifications
Description
The PANORAMA SLIM 3 LED is an extra-flat rooflight with double acrylic glazing and UV protection, projecting just 6 cm above the roof. It installs directly onto the roof, including corrugated van sheet metal, without an adapter frame. ECE R43 approved, it features permanent ventilation (from 140 to 226 cm² depending on the size) and comes with its interior frame integrating a blackout blind, fly screen and 12/24 V LED lighting. It is available in four sizes, two of which match Dometic Heki cut-outs.
Choosing the right model
Choosing the right size
The selector shows the interior dimension, i.e. the cut-out to make in the roof.
- 500 × 500 and 800 × 500: for a new cut-out, on both a panel van conversion and a Motorhome, or to replace an existing rooflight with the same cut-out.
- 700 × 500: same cut-out as a Dometic Heki or a Carbest Panorama, ideal for replacement.
- 960 × 655: same cut-out as a Dometic Heki 3, ideal for replacement.
For a replacement, measure the existing cut-out in the roof, not the visible frame of the old rooflight. For a new cut-out, check that no roof crossmember runs through the intended position.
Benefits of the PANORAMA SLIM roof vent
- An extra-flat profile: only 6 cm of additional height. No significant wind resistance, nothing to catch on a gantry or low branch, and a clean roofline.
- Direct installation, without an adapter frame: fewer sealing points, meaning fewer places where a leak can develop over the years. On corrugated sheet metal, the corrugations are filled with Sika 831E.
- Everything is integrated: the blackout blind, fly screen and 12/24 V LED lighting are all built into the interior frame. Nothing else to add, and no need to drill a second time to bring in the light.
- Permanent ventilation: a constant airflow to help prevent condensation, even when the rooflight is closed, as required by many organisations for approval. From 140 to 226 cm² depending on the size.
- A large opening: up to 160° when stationary, for light and air. Hot air naturally escapes through the highest point of the vehicle.
- Replacement without modifying the roof: the four formats match standard cut-outs, including those of the Dometic Heki, Heki 3 and Carbest Panorama. The existing opening can be reused as it is.
- A strong, lightweight structure: aluminium frame, stainless steel hinges and latches.
- Approved and durable: ECE R43 approval, E-mark certificate supplied, 2-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I replace my existing rooflight?
A: Yes, the four formats match standard cut-outs. The 700 × 500 matches the Dometic Heki and Carbest Panorama, the 960 × 655 matches the Heki 3, and the 500 × 500 and 800 × 500 match other rooflights with the same cut-out. Measure the existing cut-out in the roof, not the visible frame, then choose the corresponding format.
Q: Is an adapter frame required on corrugated sheet metal?
A: No, and that is intentional. The rooflight installs directly onto the sheet metal; the corrugations are filled with Sika 831E. Every adapter frame eliminated means one fewer seal that could potentially leak over time.
Q: Is it approved for driving?
A: Yes, ECE R43: installation is permitted without the manufacturer's approval in Europe and the United Kingdom. The E-mark certificate is supplied and can be downloaded above.
