I'm the same only I paid even less in Lidl. Cross referenced it with an "proper one" and spot on, so it gives me an instant check and peace of mindI'm not saying it's the best, but the pronged one I got from B&Q for about £40 did the job. It matched the readings our mobile fitter was getting when he tested for damp. If you don't want to leave holes, don't press to hard - you don't need to.

Personally I dont think you need worry about how accurate it is... If you go around the van and everywhere is close to one reading BUT all of a sudden you find an area that is a lot higher then you will know more investigation is needed
Spot on, the accuracy doesn't matter at all.
The other thing you can do is keep a note of the readings you get in each place each time you check and then all you need to do is look for changes. If they remain consistent you're fine, if the number for a particular spot is suddenly a lot higher than the last time you checked it then you have a potential issue.

hi.
I bought one of these. Delivered today and it asks what kind of wood is it that I'm measuring.
I don't know what wood is in the van so can you tell me which number or gear as they call it to use please?
Thanks
@tonka
Ok thanks I'll ask @hilldweller . He said he's bought one.Never seen one, so unsure...
On mine it has brick, masonry etc... I use "softwood"..

It is certainly confusing.COR.. That's a bit in depth.. Maybe start with the top one..
It wont do any harm and you just need to go around and find the "average".. If you suddenly find a higher reading then you know to investigate more.. Thats how i would do it..
There's no red or green lights just numbers.Your van is full of cheap light softwood.
They could have used some serious hardwoods that are immune to water damage but the weight would double and you'd not be able to afford it anyway.
As has been said before, the numbers are not important, if most shows green and the somewhere else lights the red LEDs it's time to worry, but even then don't get too alarmed, it just might be something odd in the construction underneath. But if an area turns from green in the past to red, get worried a bit.
