I would love to find figures about The incidence of damp in caravans. A recent “review” in the CandCC mag gave brief figures on the numbers that needed work done was it 60 or 80 % in the first year. But these might be trivial or serious. In the last 2 new caravans over 15 years I have had 6 or 8 damp repairs (forgive my memory). My current Swift has had front and back of each side mended and the main front top windows, I count that as 3 repairs as it went into workshop only 3 times.
I would be really concerned buying the caravan I am trying to part exchange. 9 years old. I wonder how well damp repairs work? I think the van cost £22k. I have seen similar vans for sale at £17k. the purchase of Old vans seems scary to me. I wonder if problems with older vans make those new to caravanning think twice about their new lifestyle?
