damp check.... (1 Viewer)

What are the thoughts on a reading of 24% and a bit of rippling on outside back wall? ??

If it needs checking can anyone advise how to go about getting someone to do a proper test. In Manchester area

I have no personal experience with any of the below, but you should be able to get an expert opinion from 1 or more

rippling with a damp reading means trouble I think. did you use a decent meter?

My Euramobil (thankfully covered by a solid 6 year warranty) had this, I never noticed until it was tested if front of me and rippling round the bottom edge of wall pointed out to me. even then i had difficulty recognising the problem

whats the van make and age..have you a warranty?

Looking at your "introduction" it looks like you have only recently (September 2015 ish) bought your motorhome, If you bought from a dealer then they should be your first port of call, and see what they say about it.

If you are not happy with their response get it independantly assessed then take it from there.

If you bought privately then it is a different ball game, most likely you will be on your own with it .

Again Good luck with it, I hope it is not too serious, but it 100% needs looking at

You may like to have a read of the new sale of goods act, now called:

The Consumer Rights Act 2015, came into force on 1 October 2015.

Hope you do not have to call on it, but best to be aware.

Seems it could be my fault! I have stored a memoryfoam mattress on the over cab bed and the high readings are where the mattress was touching the sides! Taken it out and trying to get airflow etc to dry it out. The walls etc are solid
