Hi Tellstar , welcome to UKCS , it depends on how much damp there was , if it was only a small amount it has a posibility of drying out with some help from a fan heater . But if the wallboard was soft it should be removed including any rotten spars and the area underneath dried with a fan heater , then after resealing the outside , new wall board and spars could be fitted in .

hi our's took about a week to dry out, but then we did have a lot of damp! we used a heater and a dehumidifer which worked really well.

As Wizard has said it really depends on the amont of damp you have

Just got a 1991 ABI Jubilee Viceroy caravan and discovered it had some damp in the rear two corners with a bit of rot which we have repaired thanks to articles on this site. We have resealed the rails and windows with sikaflex 512 and are fairly sure we have cured the leaks. The one coner after 2 days is showing dry but the other corner is still showing damp. My question is how long does it take for these things to dry out?

Hi  Steridder,

No I can't claim to be jack but they tell me that I do have doubles knocking about.  (My dad was a bit of a roamer!)

Anyway the damp is gradually going we put a few pin holes in the board to help the process and used a de humidifier.

Thanks for you tips.
