there is a thread on here somewhere that states up to 205 damp is noumal 20-30% check in 3 months,more than that get it seen to ,my 2002 charisma had a consistent 10-15% reading every year and when my 2012 explorer was serviced the dealer put on the report that the damp was checked but not noted as it was ok so I would ignore whoever told you it should be dry as a bone because as far as damp readings go it is.

Hi all
We have owned our van for just two months now. It has just turned one year old.

It was serviced the day before we took it over and the damp test report showed damp around the van of around 9% in most areas and 18% around the front window.

I assumed this was normal and that all caravans, regardless of age, would have some damp.

However, upon talking to a fellow caravanner, he said his van is older and never had a spot of damp. He said our van, at one year old, shold be as dry as a bone.

We have a six year water ingress warranty so should I insist this is sorted or should I expect a little damp? I am unsure what to do and would appreciate any help.

I have contacted the chap who carried out the service for is advice and left several messages but I haven't received any calls back.

Btw, it is a Sterling Eccles Sport 564 2012 model.

Thanks
