Motorhome damp is one of the most common issues owners face, yet it can also be one of the most damaging if not addressed promptly. Moisture ingress can compromise your motorhome’s structure, affect interior comfort, and lead to problems such as mould growth, unpleasant odours, and electrical faults. This is particularly important in motorhomes built using traditional construction methods, where prolonged exposure to damp can result in costly long-term damage. Our professional motorhome damp repair service is designed to protect your vehicle and restore it to a safe, comfortable condition.
Damp can enter a motorhome in several ways, including deteriorating window and door seals, roof joints and vents, cracked exterior panels, or poorly sealed accessories such as awnings, bike racks, and lighting units. Condensation caused by temperature changes and poor ventilation can also contribute to damp issues. If left untreated, moisture can weaken structural components, damage insulation, and reduce the overall value of your motorhome, making early diagnosis and repair essential.
Our experienced technicians carry out thorough inspections to accurately identify the source of damp and recommend the most effective solution. In many cases, particularly with modern GRP-bodied motorhomes, repairs may be as simple as resealing affected areas. Where more extensive work is required, we have the expertise to carry out high-quality structural repairs. As an approved workshop, we can also undertake insurance and manufacturer warranty repairs, giving you complete peace of mind that your motorhome is being cared for to the highest standards.

Preventing damp in a motorhome is key to protecting its structure, comfort, and long-term value. While moisture problems can develop over time, regular care and a few simple preventative steps can greatly reduce the risk of damp and water ingress.
Regular inspections and maintenance are essential. Frequently check seals around windows, doors, rooflights, vents, and lockers for cracks or deterioration, and reseal them when needed. Pay close attention to roof joints and fitted accessories such as awnings, bike racks, or satellite systems, as these are common entry points for water.
Good ventilation plays a major role in preventing condensation-related damp. Ensure roof vents and air vents are unobstructed, and allow fresh air to circulate whenever possible, even during colder months. Using extractor fans when cooking or showering and leaving internal doors open can help moisture escape.
Managing condensation is equally important. Wipe down windows and cold surfaces regularly, especially in winter, and consider using moisture absorbers or a dehumidifier when the motorhome is in use or in storage. Heating the interior evenly can also help reduce condensation buildup.
Proper storage can make a big difference. When your motorhome is not in use, store it in a well-ventilated area and consider using a breathable motorhome cover rather than a non-breathable tarp. Keeping the motorhome clean and dry before storage helps prevent trapped moisture from developing into damp.
Finally, schedule professional damp checks annually. A specialist inspection can identify early signs of moisture ingress that may not be visible, allowing repairs to be carried out before damp becomes a serious issue. Taking these steps will help keep your motorhome dry, comfortable, and ready for every adventure.
