We recently bought a Bailey Senator Indiana and during the pre-sale service a little bit of damp was detected which was quickly put right by the place we bought it from. We are keen to keep on eye on any developing damp problems. Does anyone know if we can buy a damp detector and how much it would cost?

Many thanks, Cathy

I would of told them to keep it and looked elswhere.

How did they fix the damp ? Or did they ?

Can I ask where the damp was detected, as we have recently purchased a Indiana from a dealer, who removed all the documents from the van,(left the service manualin) hes said it was for data protection, funny how he left the warranty documents in, with previous owner details.

Thanks Karen

To be fair to the dealer we needed to pick our caravan up within a week instead of the two or three weeks they would usually have liked. When we went to pick it up they said they had found damp in the rail and we could take it back at our convenience to get it sorted out. When we did we were told they had had to replace the back panel and it was now sorted out. However... if they had checked the caravan thoroughly before we picked it up they would have realised that the element in the fridge was not working and so we could not use the fridge for the whole week we were away in hot and sunny Yorkshire in the summer.
