Greetings,
The vulnerable points on a 'van as far as damp is concerned are those near to where the water can get in from the outside, so, with that in mind you are looking around the edges of the van, where the walls meet the roof and where the front meets the walls etc.
That also applies where the windows have been cut out of the outer skin, like you say, under the rubbers.
Don't just go by the readings however. The inside of the van's surface should be solid and because it's usually made of a hardboard type material it will be 'soft' if the weather has got in. Have a good press and poke using the ends of your fingers on EVERY panel particularly near the places I have mentioned.
OH, and one last thing. Don't forget the "hard to get to" places, like under the seats, behind the squabs, under the bed etc.
It's your money, take a long time and don't be rushed and preferably do it on your own without the current owner 'guiding' you.
Good Luck,
PS Remember that damp invariably like water is controlled by the forces of gravity. Where water gets in side a 'van it will travel downwards.

How come when some people visit the fountain of knowledge, they only gargle!!!
