After having our first van repaired by the dealer due to damp problems, I'm sorry to say the damp re-appeared again !
Old Thread - Damp Caravan From Dealer
We finally decided we had had enough and took the van back for a full refund. After a frantic few weeks of searching we finally found a 2008 Bailey Ranger 540/6
After a very thorough check, we couldn't find any damp with it, so we purchased the van and collected it yesterday. So far no problems (Touch wood, cross fingers, etc)
It's now on the drive being cleaned top to bottom before we go away tomorrow.
We only started caravanning in Feb this year and we are already on our second van! Lets hope this is the start of good times as it's just been total stress so far.
My caravan is always springing leaks - I sort one, then it springs another ! Fingers crossed, I seem to have cured the lot now. It's a peculiar little thing, I don't want to part with it, so have persevered!
The very last leak (up a tight corner you couldn't even get a finger into) was cured by pushing blu-tack into the space with the end of an art brush handle. From the inside and the outside. Before that I had tried sikaflex primer and sealer, tenacious tape, oh, all sorts. The blu-tack seems to have done the trick, crossed fingers!
We`ve been fortunate wi our old Daystar. She has no leaks at all on the inside. You`ll find it easy to get away after you`ve sussed out your van. You can leave most stuff packed until next time!
