Where should i look in particular when testing a caravan for damp?

Are there any hotspots so to speak where damp is likely?

I am new at looking at caravans and have some freinds who have shown us some tips

round bottom of windows, in corners and under benches

any one else got some tips I will also be intrested

In my very limited experience, anywhere where there is a seal on the outside.

ie, wherever there's a rail, window, two panels meet etc on the outside, there is a potential for water to get to the inside from there. That's why I'm going to completely reseal mine anyway!

Don't rely on your nose or just pushing with your finger either, there's a van on the fixed it club site that was completely rotten and he made the point that at no point was there ever any smell of damp. Take the meter and ram it in
