We have had our 2006 Bailey Ranger Series 5 for the past 18 months.
We have noticed there are 3 small patches on the inner wall next to the toilet, of small, hard 'pimple' like lumps. The best way to describe the feel of them them is like crunchy silica gel that you get in sachets in shoes etc. As far as we are aware they have only appeared in the past month or so.
I have a terrible suspicion (and I'm seriously worried) that it is damp. Has anyone else had this? Typically it has come at the time we want to sell our caravan - what can we do???

Any advice is greatfully received - thank you.
Being a 2006 model it will still be under the 6 year water ingression warranty assuming you have kept the service history up . Your local Bailey dealer should be able to assist and verify if its damp
Hi-this sounds suspiciously familiar.We had it on our 2007 Sprite-sorry but it turned out to be damp.They were very small,hard 'pimples' next to the toilet-
(look alot bigger on the photo than they were).
Ours went back to the dealer,but eventually ended going back to Swift for repairs under the 6yr water ingress warranty (they were excellent btw).As has been said,I would take it for a damp test asap.
Hi I had the same thing happen on our 2006 ranger it was a small patch by the bottem corner of the window over the sink it looked just as you described it I made a t shaped cut in the patch and peeled the surface carefully back it had been wet at some time although it was dry at the time. I took the window and it's frame out to find where water could have got in the problem turned out to be the window rubber had pulled away in the bottom left corner (viewed from inside) I filled the gap with mastic and put it all back together the whole job took less than an hour and there hasn't been a problem since. I glued the wall finish back after getting rid of the bits which looked like saw dust it is very difficult to see where I made the cuts now.
i'll give you a hundred quid for it now if you want lol. most people wouldn't touch it if they know it's got damp because its not guaranteed to be completly cured. however if you dont mention that it's had damp and the person buying doesnt know what to look for then you might get away with it.

What great advice! Get it fixed or sell to a dealer. But please do not try to palm it off on some unsuspecting
poor b*ugger!
We will definately get it fixed and sell to our dealer anyway. I would never fob it off onto someone else- I have enough to worry about without having that on my conscience - lol.
