Hi All

Please help if you can!!

We have just returned from our second trip of the season and we have just noticed inside the end bathroom down the side of the toilet there is a discoloration behind the wallpaper (it seems to have a blueish colour) This is right in the corner and is thin at the top and tapers outwards further as it goes downwards.

Now this wasn't there a bout 3 weeks ago last time we went and it wasnt there back in November when we went at the end of last season. There is a small patch with a few little bumps which are not soft.  Is there any possibility this is not damp? Could it be something to do with the toilet? I cannot smell any damp!

Before you start recomending me to take bits apart or remove this or that I am about as handy as a DIY anti christ, I am just trying to ascertain what the likely cause is and what the approx costs could be.

Does anyone know any good repairers in the South Yorkshire area?

I suspect you have some water ingress , most likely from the awning rail , i would have it looked at as soon as you can, and until then protect / cover the area .
You will not always smell damp, in fact by the time you smell damp it's probably pretty bad .

Sounds like damp alright.

this is what you will find behind the paper and why it has a blue tinge to it:

That happened within one week.It wasn't there and then suddenly appeared!  Luckily the van was fine underneath the panels and still like new. Very easy to rectify if caught early enough.
