Hi, Just had to write of my 2-berth caravan because of terrible damp problems, it was not worth the time and effort to even begin to rectify the problems, I have always had a leaning towards motorhomes, do you encounter the same problems with damp, they seem to be rife with second hand caravans, is the same with motor homes, camper vans etc, thanks, Bob.
we have just bought a motorhome, each time we looked at a unit we used a damp detector on it, the ceiling, under floor, above floor around shower under windows etc surprisingly the unit we bought had flat alloy sides with a fiberglass room 1993 reg with NO damp we tested it after three solid days of torrential rain before we bough it as it was stood outside at a dealers. Some of the units inside were damp though so test thougholy before buying secondhand caravan or motorhome we have done a lot of research so we knew where to look and what damp measurment to except but this unit suited out needs and is dry as a bone
I know taht C class motorhomes do suffer from damp just like caravans, as they're a caravan on top of a lorry base. Not sure about A class and campers tho'

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.
The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.
Yep you can expect it, not as much as a caravan due to teh movement you get on a caravan when towing. A case of a good damp meter and not dismissing damp but thinking about the extent of the problem.
Scorpio69 you can recognise a C class because they have a bulge over the top of the cab, A class have a smooth front. Thought this might help you to recognise them more easily.
