Hi all
Have been looking seriously for about a year to buy a motorhome with hubby and a week ago bought our first, Swift Sundance 630G. Very spacious inside, just right for the 2 of us and our 2 Jack Russell dogs and plan to tour UK/Scotland this year and France next. Bought the van privately and has just done over 5,300 miles, is in really good condition for its year 2006. However, upon cleaning inside the large garage under the bed hubby has noticed a hole in the rear corner and upon further inspection believe it to be the dreaded damp/water ingress!!! Urghhhh. Before he starts stripping away the back end of the van which he has threatened to do, has anyone else had this problem?:Sad:

might be worth getting an estimate!! from a friendly repairer as a guide.:Blush: hope all goes well:thumb:
. I was in exactly the same situation when I purcased our 95 Kontikki just last September. I thought our damp was confined to a relatively small area but when starting to strip away, this damp area was far bigger than I had imagined and ended up completely behind the kitchenette area so all had to be stripped out, dried and rebuilt. This kept me busy over the winter period and I finally finished the repair in Feb 2012!
