Damp Check for Campervans & Motorhomes
Moisture readings and reporting to help identify damp and water ingress early.
Damp can be one of the most expensive problems to put right in a leisure vehicle. Our damp reports help you understand the condition of the habitation area so you can make informed decisions before you buy, sell or commit to repairs.
We carry out readings with appropriate equipment and explain the results in clear language, highlighting any areas that may need monitoring or further investigation.
What Our Damp Check Covers
We focus on the areas of a campervan or motorhome that are most at risk from water ingress and condensation. The goal is to detect potential issues early, not to alarm you unnecessarily.
- Damp readings in key habitation zones such as corners, lockers and around windows.
- Attention to areas near roof lights, vents and external fittings.
- Notes on any visible staining, soft spots or signs of previous water entry.

When a Damp Report is Most Helpful
- Before buying a used campervan or motorhome, especially from a private seller.
- Before marketing your own vehicle so you know where you stand.
- After noticing a smell, soft area or visual signs that something may not be right.
- After a repair or reseal, to gain confidence that the area is now dry and stable.
- As a periodic check on older vehicles that have spent time stored outside.
How Our Damp Check Process Works
Initial Conversation
We ask about the vehicle, its age, how it’s been stored and any concerns you already have.
Damp Readings
We take moisture readings in agreed areas throughout the habitation space, focusing on common problem zones.
Visual Checks
We note any visible indications of water ingress, soft spots or staining that support or explain the readings.
Results & Next Steps
We explain the readings in plain language and suggest whether monitoring, further investigation or repair is sensible.
