Tom is the only guy I will let near my van, fantastic service, totaly cares,very reasonable and a thoroughly likeable man. Mind you, he is very busy so you may have to wait a bit but well worth it.

When you say no damp in the van do you mean it's damp under the floor outside in those areas. If so look at the floor to walk seal underneath some of ours had started to separate leaving a gap scraping out and resealing cost very little.

Given the age and Manufacturer ( Swift badged as the Bessacarr brand ) I think it’s highly likely the outside skirt seals are letting water in and the floor is getting wet everytime it rains. I had exactly the same problem. If Johnnygooner checks the sealant around the trim in the problem areas I suspect he will see gaps where the water is coming in . If he’s really unlucky he will have the Swift black plastic membrane covering the outside of the floor ( like mine ) . This prevents the problem areas ever drying out .
