Hi The top of the van is bone dry and around the windows are also dry it just seems to be from the floor up and is the same nearly all the way round the van ?? We have started to strip out the seats and dry the areas out.. Thanks for the link

Kind regards

Hi Nanny K

Thanks for linking my post Al+Mel. It can be done really easily. the most difficult part is getting the guts up to begin but once your away its not too bad at all. The fact that your husband is a keen DIYer is great as I am not and still found the job to be fairly easy. Caravans not really made up of much to be honest so its a case of removing the bad wood batons and replacing before skimming with ply and leveling out with some filler. You can get pre wallpapered boards but I chose to colour match with paint. The rails I sealed with mastic and an adhesive/sealant that pushes water out of the seam and it worked really well plus its transparent so no white residue afterwards.

Go for it ifyou have the time to.

you wont regret it Im sure

Thanks Bryce

I will keep you posted.

Hi Bill

We have started to strip the inside out so we can tackle the damp which seems to be  both sides of the van. We will certainly check out the panels that you mention. We aim to reseal every joint on the van in fact if it don't move seal it !!!

Thanks for your advice
