Hi all,

we recently bought a 2nd hand motorhome from a dealer. We were told there were no significant faults with it other than what you'd expect for a 10-year old vehicle. When questioned about damp we were told there was nothing to worry about, all motorhomes have a bit of damp here and there.

We've since had a damp test done which has shown quite a significant amount of water ingress over a long period of time. The readings are high enough that deterioration has occured. The damage is such that any expert (which you'd expect a motorhome dealer to be) would have easily spotted it. Someone has tried to cover it up with some fixes. It'll probably be a few £K to repair.

Should we reject the vehicle on the grounds of unsatisfactory quality (the dealer should have done proper checks, they say they do on their website and they told us in person but nothing was provided to us to show they have done this thoroughly other than a pre-delivery ticklist). Should we allow then to repair it, or insist we get it repaired by an independent specialist workshop?

thanks for any replies.
