I like fresh air at night . But don't like leaving windows open . Also I notice no one seems to leave their roof windows open or up so what do others do ,
I don't have a wind up window any more only the heki type roof windows.

I always have the window at our bed open when sleeping with the blind 3/4 closed.

Never had a problem in 30 years caravanning !

Usually leave one rooflight and one side window open at night. I make sure the flyscreens are used.

We had our windows and roof lights open last weekend. But then we used to camp in tents and there's no way you can make those secure.

Never ever had a problem. Only once we came back to our tent in the rain to find someone hanging around - turned out it was the next tenters bringing our washing in to the dry.

Couldnt sleep without at least one window open. Usually the roof light, but often the window behind our heads too.

Lets face it, an axe-murderer can come through the wall almost as quick! And, if theres any tenters nearby, you know he will go for them first anyway.

Leave the washroom roof and window open, lounge Heki open a little - its where the dogs sleep and you don't want to be in the same air as them on a night.

When I had a little caravan I certainly closed the skylight at night...you never know when it might rain or dew might drip inside.

I did leave a side window on the catch but only did this once the lights were out and I was ready for bed...I certainly didn't want moths and flies and blood sucking insects creeping in attracted by light from open windows.

If dry and warm enough we leave the roof lights open but always use the fly screens to prevent any blood suckers.

Any chance of rain then its the smaller window above the kitchen sink but again only with the fly screen.
