We bought a new motorhome in September 2013. In December the manufacturer ( or converter to be precise) visited us to correct a safety issue as part of a recall and noted in writing that we have up to 25% damp in places.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed me that a roof joint had been poorly sealed by ther converter and allowed water ingress. The dealer said they resealed it and any residual damp would dry out in time.

After a few weeks I tested for damp, was unhappy and asked the dealer for a full damp check and to give me sight of the results. This they did not do, merely testing a few random areas in my presence to satisfy me.

A few weeks ago I re-tested and found much higher levels of damp and had an independent survey done yesterday which showed greatly increased levels of damp in the ceiling/roof area, 55% to be exact which indicates the possibility of major structural damage. The engineer also advised verbally that the repair was only partial and inneffective.

I have had correspondence with the dealer and converter, the dealer obviously wishes to perform their own test in my presence.

I have had some legal advice which unsurprisingly is contradictory. My question is, since the motorhome was delivered to me in an unsatisfactory state and any repair by the converter would require major deconstruction of the motorhome have I a case for rejection?

Thanks for reading this long first post!
