Hi , you appear to be saying that the dampness is in the wall board on the back of the exterior locker door ?? if so Like gagakev I would suspect the rubber seal around the locker door ,But it could also be the sealant around the locker door frame. what I would do is use gaffer tape along the...

Hi Yes I tried using it to seal hairline cracks around the screws fixing the awning rail to the abs front of my caravan & in my case state it was a wast of time .
