Hi, Just had to write of my 2-berth caravan because of terrible damp problems, it was not worth the time and effort to even begin to rectify the problems, I have always had a leaning towards motorhomes, do you encounter the same problems with damp, they seem to be rife with second hand caravans, is the same with motor homes, camper vans etc, thanks, Bob.

I know taht C class motorhomes do suffer from damp just like caravans, as they're a caravan on top of a lorry base. Not sure about A class and campers tho'------------- Jean
Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.
The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

Yep you can expect it, not as much as a caravan due to teh movement you get on a caravan when towing. A case of a good damp meter and not dismissing damp but thinking about the extent of the problem.

class seem to be better if you can find one at the right price, unit weight and that suites your needs
we found that elnagh magnums were the best and we have seen some right fish ponds ans swimming pools on wheels

Scorpio69 you can recognise a C class because they have a bulge over the top of the cab, A class have a smooth front. Thought this might help you to recognise them more easily.

we use a Rapitest damp detector
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rapitest-Dd-105-Damp-Detector/dp/B0001NPZ74?tag=ukcampsite00
it is extreamly sensitive and works really well
we got ours from a market stall for a couple of pound
