Panel Van Damp Checks

Anyone had recent habitation damp checks done, can I ask what areas were checked and recorded.

Last year I received a booklet with depictions of my van, showing low readings around the floor, the sides & windows, the rear & windows and the roof & skylights.

This year the booklet shows low readings for the floor, but “N/A Steel” or “N/A Fabric” entered for all the other areas.

I’ve always had the full readings supplied for my previous coachbuilts with wood panels and just assumed the panel van was checked the same when I received last year’s figures.

I’m now wondering if this year’s minimal checks are the norm ?

Ken.

Inspection report I receive (from Marquis) gives readings taken across internal walls, internal floor, rear doors and roof, only the external floor is marked "N/A - steel floor".

Cheers Nick, both of mine were at the same branch of Marquis. I’m going to run it past AutoSleeper to see which one is best to satisfy their warranty conditions.

It’s November before my first habitation check but very interested in any info you guys can provide.
For interest, do they still stick the pronged testers in your pride and joy or are less invasive testers used now?

I’ve not watched them carry out the damp checks, so not sure if they’re still using the prongs.

Me neither, although I have not noticed any evidence of prong marks anywhere.....

Cheers, I guess a quick question regarding testing methods before booking the check would provide the answer.
I’m sure discreet probing is fine but a friend once had very visible holes in his van!
