How long should it take damp readings to reduce in a wallboard once the leak is fixed? I'm talking about a wall board that is not soft or pimpled but just showed a high reading. The leak was from the roof to front panel joint strip on a bailey senator s5. Should the readings reduce within a few weeks or months or will they never come back down?

I suggest you keep the heating on for a few weeks with some of the windows fastened on the night setting for ventilation.
This will give the boards a good head start.

Thanks. Im using it in a couple of weeks for my holiday so if the good old British summer weather doesn't warm it up I will get some localised heat up there and check again when I get home. I have my own protometer but the temptation is to prod the walls every few days. At this rate my van will resemble a pin cushion.
Sort of. Right at the end of the rail the abs panel cracks at the joint corner. The cracks usually hidden under old sealant or green mould. A good clean up and poke about usually reveals the cracks which are the source of ingress.
