Why Damp is a Silent Threat

Unlike a broken appliance or a cracked panel, damp often creeps in unnoticed. It begins with moisture penetrating seals, joints, or damaged areas in your caravan or motorhome. By the time visible mould or soft walls appear, significant internal damage may already have occurred.

Damp doesn’t just affect the structure – it can also lead to unhealthy living conditions, including mould spores and musty smells. Left unchecked, it can ruin furniture, rot floors, and compromise the safety of your pride and joy.

Common Signs of Damp

You don’t need to be a professional to spot the early warning signs. Keep an eye out for:

• Musty odours when you first enter.

• Discoloured walls or ceilings.

• Softness when pressing on wallboards or flooring.

• Condensation build-up even in mild weather.

These signs are often ignored until too late, making yearly damp checks the smart option.
