Hi
I think you will find that both new and old can and do suffer from damp. A newer van wall don't use wood, but the water seeps down and leaves a puddle on the floor.
The floor is still made of wood, so damp can still be a factor.
We have an 2008 Indiana great van and last year found 30% damp where the front roof strip joined the side. Took off all awning rails and resealed.
Since Jan this year, it is now back down to 13% and wood never went pappy, lucky we caught it, and just goes to show how important a service is.
We just upgraded to a S1 2012 Barcelona 7k px, Front lockers 60% damp, and 23% to 30% under front draws inside, so seeping back.
Also the paint on the roof was peeling, (you dont take ladders with you to check a roof)so it went back.
Also the last owner let the Bailey warranty slip, so no way was i keeping it.
We have now gone to a 2013 S2 Barcelona 7.5k px, and fingers crossed all is well.
Full service on time, so warranty can be transfered to Bailey.
All this within 4 weeks lol!!!!
So take a damp meter, and don't be to worried, about using it. I did not take one , but once home checked it out and found out the hard way.
Hope all goes well for you.

Cheers
