Rental Sales Motorhome service (maintenance + fitting accessories)
View profileOne moisture measurement in a motorhome or caravan may give early indications of leakage and ingressive moisture. Fluid problems are notorious for staying invisible for a long time. Behind wall coverings, in corners or around windows and roof passages can cause damage before you see anything on the outside. A specialist therefore measures on known risk spots and assesses the measurements in relation to the construction.
Campers and caravans consist of many connections, seams and openings. Windows, shutters, service shutters, doors, antennas, solar panels and other roof passages must remain waterproof for a long time. Kit and sealing material age due to sun, temperature differences and movement of the structure. Small leakages can thus slowly bring moisture into a wall or floor.
Starting moisture damage doesn't always smell or see. By the time wood softens, discolours upholstery or creates a musty smell, the problem may be more advanced. Periodic fluid monitoring helps to detect abnormal values earlier and allows targeted follow-up research.
A professional usually focuses on risk points. Think of corners of windows and doors, roof shutters, roof edges, kitnads, side walls, floor connections, garage and service shutters and places around fitted accessories. For caravans there are also front and rear panels, handles and connections known points of interest.
Not every motorhome is built the same. An experienced specialist takes material and construction into account. Measurement values should therefore not be interpreted separately. A higher value in one place may give rise to additional control, but the meaning depends on measurement method, material, temperature and reference values.
When purchasing a moisture measurement is a valuable addition to a general vehicle inspection. A motorhome can look excellent on the outside while an old kitnaad has entered moisture around. A measurement report helps to discuss possible risk derivatives prior to purchase.
Ask the seller for previous moisture checks, leakages and repair work. Invoices of re-kitten or wall repair need not automatically be negative; Well performed repair can just show that maintenance has been taken seriously. It is important that it is clear what has been done and whether the construction has remained dry afterwards.
Even when you don't sell or buy can periodically measure wise. Especially vehicles that are outside, experience many winter conditions or age deserve special attention. Combine moisture control with visual inspection of kitnads and roof passages. Have damaged or released seal assessed in good time.
Ventilation also plays a role. Condensation by cooking, showering and sleeping is something other than external leakage, but long-term high humidity is undesirable. Good ventilation, moist drying and regular checking of the camper during storage helps keep the indoor climate healthy.
An increased reading means that further research can be sensible. The specialist can use additional measuring points to define the area and visually search for possible causes. Sometimes a damaged kitnaad is the source; in other situations additional research is needed to determine how far moisture has penetrated.
Don't delay recovery unnecessarily. Long-term moisture can affect insulation material, wood, adhesive compounds and floor structures. Ask not only to repair the visible damage, but also to resolve the cause of the leakage. After repair, a follow-up measurement can help check how the construction dries.
A motorhome that stands still for a long time deserves extra attention for moisture and ventilation. During the winter installation, the outside temperature can vary greatly and condensate can occur when there is insufficient air circulation. Therefore, not only check for leakage, but also for ventilation, rubbers, drainage and the condition of roof and wall seals. Dry storage helps, but does not exclude moisture problems due to an existing leakage.
A periodic moisture measurement may be part of a broader maintenance routine. Allow measurement results to be kept preferably so that values can be compared over several years. A sudden change at the same location could be a signal to intervene earlier. Those who store a vehicle for a long time can also use Kampeerspot to search for a motorhome shed and discuss with the storage holder what checks are possible during the storage period.
Via Kampeerspot you can apply for a moisture measurement in Belgium or the Netherlands. Indicate the type of vehicle, make, year of manufacture, location and reason for the check. Also describe any signs such as a musty smell, discoloration, soft flooring, previous leakage or doubt around a window or roof hatch.
Professionals who offer moisture measurement as a service can respond to your call. Compare their profile, experience, region and reporting form. Ask if the measurement can be made on location and if you receive a written or digital measurement report.
Post your application and let appropriate professionals respond. You choose who you contact and which assignment you provide.
The price depends on vehicle size, number of measuring points, location and reporting. Ask in advance what the control includes.
This varies from vehicle to measurement plan. A targeted check is shorter than a comprehensive measurement of the complete structure.
A measurement may locate different moisture values, but additional research may be required to determine the exact source of the leakage.
In case of purchase, after leakage, in case of suspicious odour or discoloration and periodically as preventive control, especially in older vehicles.
No. A visual check sees visible defects; measuring equipment may also indicate damage not yet visible.
Any roof or assembly site can deserve attention. It is mainly about the condition of seals and assembly.
Have the cause investigated further and discuss appropriate recovery. Avoid only visible damage while remaining leaks.
Yes. Caravans have like motorhomes seams, windows, roof shutters and structural parts where moisture can penetrate.
