Hi, we bought an 2000 Abi Adventurer, we knew it had damp in the walls which we're confident we can fix. However, we did not know that the floor at the back end was rotten in areas, and we are at a loss for how to repair. In the very corners in a small patch, it is right through to the base of the caravan, then a wider area of approx 10x14cm in the upper layers is rotten.

We have taken out all the rotten wall panels and insulation. The caravan is under a cover and we'll be finding the leak/weak points and sealing.

I see a wizard caravan damp repairs site has been recommended historically, but this site no longer seems to exist.

Any advice would be very gratefully received.

Its usual for the rear corners to rot if the hertz trim has been cut short or worse still been tack underneath to the wooden floor

Thanks for letting us know
I for one was always recommending it to people.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
