As a temporary measure, go over the seals with some UV stable clear tape. It comes off easily and doesn't mark the paint - it will offer some protection from leaks until you get time to reseal.

just back from the local caravan centre who have confirmed the damp and as said by everyone its either the side skirts or wheel covers under the van as the damp is on both sides although worse on the sides with the locker door which may imply its needing resealed.
He has said that it appears to be along the bottom so does not think it is in the insulation yet!!! just the bottom rail. He does not carry out damp repairs !!! so looks like I will be busy resealing and will see if I can get something to inject into the bottom timber rail to harden it. He did say that once everything resealed then it SHOULD DRY OUT.
Other problem is I do not have any under cover available to take the MH so will have to wait for a sunny weekend with no rain forecast, at this time of year in the north of Scotland I could wait a long time !!!
thanks for all the advice so far
cheers
Ron

Hi you seal skirts to van sides to stop water going right to bottom/floor :thumb: you canget spray on underseal for inbetween skirts and van sides/floor :thumb:Terry do you not need to take off the side skirts to seal them in the back ???
Chaser I was checking for damp all over the van as not been in for habitation check in last 12 months and was just wanting to try and check myself
Up date is I have romoved the rubber seal round the inside of the locker door and the plywood at the bottom was well gone but the timber is sound sides and top no damp readings so I suspect seaping up from below but can't actually get the frame out
Have put clear uv tape over the skirts meantime and removed the rubber strip and tightened up all the screws so must be gripping to something
Also righted up the screws that hold the wheel arch covers in place above the wheels so hopefully this will stop it getting worse meantime
Took a couple of photos on my phone but don't know how to up load them to a post
