We are currently away in France and have noticed today a small (roughly hand sized) bulge in the outside wall to the upper left of the habitation door. The MH has been in storage inside over the winter and other than a few nights at home before setting off here, it had not been in sitting in wet weather, although it was cold for those three days. I didn’t notice whilst T home or for the first few days over here.
Basic research suggests damp between the body work and internal layers. Does anyone have any experience of this? Could it be something else? Is this something that can be fixed/rectified easily?
Thanks for any help.
 
What the wall made off ?

Not entirely sure if what the walls are made of. It’s a Rollerteam 707 (2017). This is the best picture I’ve been able to take of the bulge.

Is it ‘spongy’ if you press it gently…..?
 
Try sticking a pin in it and see if its full of water or air

It isn’t spongy. It doesn’t really move much when pressed, quit firm really.
 
looks like awning is directly above it, possibly water syphoning along the screw, if badly fitted, different van but we had ours done on warranty.

Thanks for all your responses. Definitely d’élimination if some sort. Not spongy, but a little bit of movement when pushed hard.
Going to look at it more fully when back in the UK in a week’s time. May still be under bodywork guarantee so will check when back. Any advice on where to go to get this fixed in the North-west/NorthWales area would be really appreciated.
Thanks
