My 2015 Lunar Clubman has had a clean bill of health until this service which has just been done. I was not happy with the service for a number of reasons but I will restrict this thread to the damp. The report shows all walls and roof are fine. But the floor in places is up to 50%. His meter showed a little different to my cheap one which is to be expected, but the locations of where it is bad match.
I am trying to puzzle where it is getting in. Two of the locations have suffered from leeks in the past. One around the toilet, the other where all the water gubbins is. However on the opposite side of the van, just by the door is bad, also by the wheel arch (both missed by the engineer) and under the near side bunk are also bad.
I have examined the lower horizontal rail which looks absolutely fine, but looks can be deceiving. I have also tested the underside of the van, where is says 44% on the floor, underneath is only 3%.
I am wondering if it may be moisture getting between the linoleum and the floor. I can bring the van home and run a dehumidifier for a while. But I am not sure if that would help. How can it dry the floor through the linoleum?
Another odd thing is wherever I hold the non invasive meter on the wall it reads 0%. I am not sure what the material is, but I believe it has a trick where it turns blue if there is too much water content. Even at floor level where the floor shows 44% the wall shows dry.
I am having it booked in for repair. But does anyone have any idea what it could be? Or what I could try.
I am tempted to remove the linoleum to allow it to dry out, any thoughts on that?

PS there is no smell and the floor feels solid, no sponginess at all.
