Surely if we took the damp area out and replace it with plywood would that b sufficient?
I think the seal has been leaking around the opening to the front that pulls up and that's why it's gone damp

We were quoted nearly £9000 for the front of our caravan to be replaced and the caravan was not even 5 years old.

Wow! I thought our quote was high at £2,000. Then again I suppose everything is relative. We only paid £1,100 for our caravan nearly 6 years ago so I certainly wouldn't want to spend more than that again. It is the labour costs though, as my own repairs are likely to come in at well under £400, and some of that went on tools such as my step platform which I will still have for other jobs afterwards.

I would expect to have work like this to do on my caravan as it is 31 years old. I certainly wouldn't expect major work of this kind to be needed on a caravan less than 5 years old. Maybe it's right that "they don't build 'em like they used to!"
