Bodywork: This is a general observation that is carried out around the entire body of the caravan. They check all the doors and windows including the catches, locks and seals. The floor is checked for delamination or sponginess. Furniture, blinds, roof, roof lights and seals are all covered and observed. One major item that is covered is a damp test. Caravans and most recreational vehicles are all prone to potential damp or water ingress. So when a caravan service is being carried out, a damp meter reading is recorded on the service sheet. These readings are carried out inside and outside of the caravan, and scored with a reading between anywhere from 0% to over 30%. The higher the percentage the more damp the caravan is. Anything over 30% could mean that structural damage may be occuring & deterioration is inevitable. Any readings between 0% – 15% shows that there are no causes for concern. A damp meter report will be provided alongside your service sheet. If you don’t receive this then you should definitely request one as this is part of a basic caravan service.
