How damp checks work

Technicians use calibrated moisture meters at mapped points on walls, floors, roof joints and around windows. Readings above expected thresholds flag areas to investigate; often a failed seal rather than widespread rot.

Where problems often start

  • Pop-top canvas and roof hinge seals
  • Rear doors and tailgate gutters
  • Shower and kitchen splash zones
  • External locker seams

Why it matters before you buy or sell

When we broker vehicles for customers in Cardiff and Newport, damp history is one of the first questions informed buyers ask. A recent report removes guesswork and supports fair pricing.

Comfort on tour

Beyond structure, damp air creates musty bedding and condensation on cold M4 mornings. Keeping the shell dry makes winter and shoulder-season trips far more pleasant.

Practical rhythm: Annual damp checks, plus an extra reading if you store outdoors through autumn or tour the coast for extended periods.
