Hi Jen. I'm really feeling it for you.
When I bought my caravan (Dutch Kip Kompakt, 1982) and put it on the drive, it leaked like a sieve. The seller had kept it in a garage, so no damp showing when I bought it. I did remonstrate with the seller, but again here, sold as seen and no recompense.
However - cheer up, there are always ways to fix these things. I hope the mobile chap can give you some idea.
Don't give up hope just yet. My parents had a van for years that was showing signs of damp. They used it for three years before it got bad enough that they had to replace it, and that was doing nothing about it. I actually stuck the front window back in with Sikaflex as it dropped down and unattached itself from the body of the caravan. That made it last another year.
As long as the running gear/lights are ok, and you're not falling through the floor, you can still have a holiday or two in it.
Like Mitchell said, stop the water coming in from the outside first or it will just get worse.
