We have just returned from a short break in our new van (2004 Compass Omega). We noticed moisture and small bubbles of water along the seal at the top of the two front lockers, this eventually disappeared during the course of the day. On noticing this I checked all the other seals in the lockers and every where else was dry. At night we slept with the heating on low but had most of the windows open on their first lock. This is our 3rd van and we have never noticed this before on the others (1989 and 1998 vans) and have been out all weathers. The van is covered by the main dealer for a further year and we also took out the extended warranty that covers water ingress for a further 3 years after that. We are glad we have bought from a dealer with warranty as were tempted to buy a 2004 that had been seasonally sited since new, with no warranties valid. We have found a few other minor faults so it will be going back to them anyway. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

sounds like condensation,i would keep a careful eye on it for the future.as a back up ring thr dealer and say that you think you may have a problem and you intend to watch what happens next time you use the van.this way he cannot say you did not inform him/her.ask his opinion. [:o)]

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

I was starting to worry then I have just bought a Compass Magnum (Corona) from mendips in somerset, I dont pick it up until April. I hope they are not prone to damp.
