Hi All

We have been studying various touring caravans for over a year and have 5 we would go for, the main one being a elddis crown sceptre.  We were going to see one at the weekend which I was excited about but then the seller decided he didn't want to sell it any more.  The reason we have chosen this one is the weight/layout/general reviews.  We have seen another but the seller has said the February service showed "slightly high" damp readings and also service did pick up a small area of delamination to the floor, which they had mended by a reputable company the week before last. 

I know damp in a caravan is like rust in a car, what would your advice be, the seller said they think it was due to all the snow and there is no leaks in the van?  Its a long way for us to travel if it is going to be a waste of time and I have asked if they can arrange another damp reading and let me know, they said they would try get it arranged for this week.  I have no idea what "floor delamination" is.  I appreciate your replies.

Thanks

Leave it there will be many others you can look at. If you were offered a house with damp would you take it?

Thanks for that, think I just needed someone to tell me!!  And funny you should mention, my house had a lot of damp when we bought it.  All sorted now though!!  I am swaying away from it and need to stop my heart ruling my head!!!  I want our first caravan to be a joy not a headache!

Thanks Michael, I will email the seller and say not to bother with the damp test as we are not interested, I dont think the damp test would come back "slightly high" because of snow, it has got to get in somehow. Am off to scour again but elddis crown sceptre's are very hard to come by and I really don't want to pay the extra that dealers are asking, sometimes up to 1k more than private sellers !!!
