Just found that the the rear section of the floor (at least 2 ft across the full width) is soft on the underside of our 04 coachbuilt moncayo 465. Also the lower edges of the walls appear to be damp. discusing the issue with a fellow Moncayo owner (03) he has pretty much the same problem. looks like a very poor design as the water runs down the outersurface of the walls and wicks around the corner into the exposed woodwork of the side pannels, not sure how it gets into the plywood / battons that make up the sandwich floor but once in, the plastic sheet stapled to the underside ensures it stays there.
Van has never been damp checked since bought privatly 3 years ago (i naively assumed the structure would be made of substancial quality material), is there any point in approaching the manufacturers (Moncayo based in Spain) as its clearly poor design / build / materials?
or will i get nowhere - if i have to refurbish myself has anyone any tips on how to dry it out, treat and or replace pannels (floor is ply, foam, ply sandwich with wooden battons for structure, sides appear to be GRP, ply, foam, ply sandwich with a plywood edge.
any hints / tips would be most welcome
