Is it damp under the seats ? As this is where the battery box comes in.

Join Photobucket or similar, host pics there, then choose picture insert in the post here & add http address of your pics at Photobucket....
But of a hassle..... But only allowed three pics hosted on here.

Looks like the damage has been caused by the mastic joint around battery box

Thats better

All wet ply removed and replaced with decent quality marine ply. Luckily it had not spread to the floor. I noted that the original ply wasn't the greatest quality. Battery box re sealed. Hopefully this will last a good few years more. Going to invest in an all season cover as it lives outside.
Other upgrades before next year will include a memory foam topper
New leisure battery
new tyres

Not too concerned with the look of the repair as its hidden behind the seating, but does anyone know where you can get the backing material?

By backing material is it a thin (3mm)plywood board with a vinyl coating? If so I got some for our Dandy from Magnum Motorhomes. They will send samples but postage is a bit high if you only want a small amount.

Incidently the Dandy trailer walls are made differently; a welded steel box frame with aluminium outer skin and wallboard inner. Not much to rot but we had a broken board to replace.
