I had been looking at an old caravan but when the caravan engineer went to check it out it was really damp. Readings of around 70 on 2 walls. I'm thinking of getting a damp meter myself so I can check this on any other vans I look at before calling the engineer to check them. It may sound like a daft question but I've never used one before. Should I be looking for a reading of 0 or would there normally be a low reading (thinking moisture in the air ect). If there would be a low reading what is an acceptable level.

Thank you. Next question I didn't realise not all damp meters give actual readings. Can anyone recommend a meter, preferably as cheap as possible as its all eating into my caravan fund but at the same time I'd rather pay out a small amount now than buy a heap of trouble
