I am afraid that once again a dealer has ripped you off. The dealer needs to show that by not having a service done, damp occurred. As you can see this is highly unlikely to have happened.
It is a known fact that many caravans are serviced regularly but the damp is not picked up until the owner puts his hand throguh the wall.
Anyway even if you had it serviced regularly how woudl this prevent damp forming? Also I bet that you did a reading there may not have been any signs of damp at all. another thought is that at this time of the year there is bound to be some condensation inside the caravan which would account for the high readings.

too true micheal. i cant afford neither would ever buy new, caravan nor car, they loose so much as soon as they leave the showroom, so is this a lesson to learn, keep up service is a must or buy second hand and save £££££££ plus most of time get all extras too, and as long as you damp test it you only have yourself to blame if it gets damp!!
Last time we had ours serviced it clearly was a tyre kicking exercise; and we were astonished that the gas connections were not part of the service: the main thing we wanted checking. So we do the basic maintenance (grease etc) ourselves now. We check for damp by pressing on all areas, especially around window seals, you can soon tell if it's going 'spongey' and take action quickly. We had a small repair done for £180, less than a service to tell us about it. You probably have been unlucky, but have a nice van to look forward to.
