Hi guys...New member here with a damp problem

Been directed here from wizards site...which is a real inspiration....via a recomendation from some one on Caravan talk.

I have a damp issue in my Elddis Crusader Sirocco. I have drawn much inspiration from the folk on the "fixed it club" and being a handy guy when it comes to DIY and a history of woodworking I have decided to have a go myself. Having stripped the wall boards from the rear 1/3 of the van and found rotten timbers I am now at the point of replacing these and drying out the area before starting the re build.

My question now is what are the best adhesives and sealants to use.

I have the wet rot wood hardener at hand to treat old and new timbers (belt n braces I know) and have heard of diferent adhesives and sealer ......but whats best to use to bond the new timbers to the ally skin and then the wall boards to the inside..

Any help and advise would be much appreciated

Also is Papa pip still trading as whitburn is just up the road from me...

Regards Drue

I found Tigerseal was fantastic for bonding new timbers, need a good sealant gun but great stuff. There are others and am sure you'll be given plenty of advice. I used the roll mastic for replacing the rails on the outside and that again couldn't fault.
