I may be being paranoid but theres a mark in our van bathroom that could be damp. I strongly suspect its more likely from condensation but I would like to check it and keep an eye on it before the warranty runs out.

Does anyone own a diy damp meter that they would recomend and has maybe been shown to be accurate against a "proper" industrial one used by dealers?

Theres loads on ebay and theyre well under a tenner which I have no problem spending , but do they actually do the biz?

All advice gratefully received.

if you see a mark or stain then a B+Q one will do,about £15.
