The wife and i and seriously considering a new damp project, the caravan itself is a little beaut with all mod cons, but it has SEVERE damp all around the front window from roof to floor and pretty much down both sides too!
Are we biting off more than we can chew?

Some of the damp pictures can be seen Here

Would you?

The things you have to do to keep the UK Campsite members entertained!! Looks like a challenge, go for it.

The weather is mild in Devon, great for drying out the damp!

There are so many people get a damp caravan by accident. But it takes a special kind of fool to look for one!

I think a lot of people hear the word 'damp' and they run a mile, yet it is so easy and unbelievably inexpensive to cure!
Pretty much everyone (especially men) have a basic DIY knowledge, and that is all you need to completely repair a damp problem in a caravan!
We paid £100 for a SEVERELY damp caravan 2 years ago, 6 month's later after parting with the grand sum of £50 and spending a couple of days in the sun working on it, we sold it for £1000 on Ebay!
It can be fun and very lucrative being a fool!

Thanks mate!

It's for sale on Ebay, so if someone is prepared to pay more than me and i don't win it, all is not lost... cause if there's one thing Ebay has lots of, it's damp caravans!
