damp check (28 Viewers)

Has anyone been told damp checks are only being carried out on the floor at the habitation service nowhere else .?

No, our vans always had damp checks in about 30 places with values recorded on a plan.

Thanks for your reply .I have questioned them a few times as it sounds odd not to do so . All our caravans have had full damp check . This is a 2021 vehicle damp check done up to now....damp found twice once in garage area sorted this year and once before we bought it at the front area also sorted. It was n12 mths old when we bought it

No that's wrong. You need damp check at the roof level also. Around the roof vents around all lockers around the hab door and around the windows. Along the lower wall levels just above the floor and along the top of the walls under the ceiling.
Don't let them put you off by just the floor checks as that's incorrect.

I wonder if a good damp detector is needed for us to check.

I may be corrected by others who know better - but I have mostly read that a ‘good’ damp detector is very expensive

I think Carthago is just a visual check all round now, they don't even put a hose on it anymore.

I looked at a motorhome the beginning of this year with/for my sister at a small independent dealer who stated the hab check they have done doesn't include any damp check what so ever.
When I asked why he replied that a damp check is a worthless waste of time.
This was on a 30 grand van.

If they are sure no damp on these new motorhome bodies why not a lifetime guarantee?

Nice little earner for dealers.
