Hi we own a Bailey Ranger 380/2
it is dry inside no damp whatsoever. phew however we have an annoying leak under the caravan just below the battery box. the said box has been removed, cleaned and re-sealed however we had a shower yesterday it and underneath is damp again. Any ideas? we are now scratching our heads.
Thanks in advance

Mmm water ingress is funny and could be coming from a few places.Is the drainage hole sealed or loose in the shower?
Have you got a window in the shower? Have you checked the water pipes to see if there is a leak or a join has came off? Does this only happen when the shower is run or any taps in the bathroom ?

Like i said its a funny thing water ingress and i hope i may have gave you a couple of ideas..

Got a hose, shower the van lightly, have the kids do it, watch for where the water is coming from, going to be somewhere simple on the outside just tracing around and catching the bottom of the van near to wear you see the water on the deck.


No hose step ladders and watering can, kick yourself when you find it, bet it is a wee dent in the van lol at ground level.
