damp

Hello everyone. Please move if in the wrong section. I posted my first post late last year, seeking advice for tow cars with the aim to buy my first used van. Flash forward now, those who remember the thread, I still haven’t changed car or bought a van! Appreciating it’s a big purchase, I...

Hello again! So I had a damp patch on my caravan wall. Not very big at all about 20cm x 20cm so I cut it out to investigate (can of worms) I found a wet batten... the batten which holds the awning rail of course. Now we know awning rail needed resealing and we are in the process of that...

Hi all, So recently we had a damp check carried out on our van and there were sky high damp readings (99% in places) in the rear O/S floor. Never picked up before, even on the service 6 months ago! Anyway because of the age of the van. The cost of repair was not worth it... so I thought I'd...

Hi All ...my first post here. We had a Lunar Delta ( our 4th van ) that leaked like bucket with no bottom so we decided to upgrade...went to the 'show' and ordered a Bailey Evora. One year on and at first service it has damp and spongy floor on both rear corners, bubbles in the internal roof...

Good afternoon, I've recently noticed, after taking the van out of storage, black spots and pimples, in front of the hot water tank and spreading aft under the bottom bunk bed. this is only in spots and not extending from the sides. I've checked the underside of the floor, with damp readings...

I've been hearing that the Bailey Alu-Tech caravans have a tendency to let water seep through. Is this true? I would have thought that since they use fewer panels, they would be much better at preventing water ingress. Does this also mean that the Alu-Tech caravans also get a lot of damp? I can...

Is it worth getting a moisture meter? What exactly is it used for?

Is there any specific caravan makes or models that are particularly bad when it comes to damp? If your caravan does have damp, will it dry out?
