Does Your Caravan Leak? Here’s Why You Should Check Before Your Next Trip
When was the last time you checked your caravan for leaks?
It’s not something most owners think about — until it’s too late.
Water damage is one of the most common and costly issues in caravans, and the biggest problem is… you often won’t see it straight away.
Why Caravan Leaks Are a Serious Problem
A caravan doesn’t have to be visibly leaking to have water getting in.
In fact, water can enter through the smallest gaps around:
Windows
Roof seals
Hatches and vents
Lights and external fittings
Once inside, water can travel through walls, insulation and cabinetry before any signs appear.
By the time you notice:
Soft walls or flooring
Mould or damp smells
Bubbling or discolouration
The damage may already be extensive — and expensive to repair.
The Hidden Risk Most Owners Miss
Here’s the reality…
If water can get in, it means there is already a failure in your caravan’s sealing. These issues don’t fix themselves, they just get worse over time. Especially with heavy rain, humidity and regular travel vibrations. That small, unnoticed gap today could turn into major structural damage tomorrow.
How We Detect Caravan Leaks Properly
At Green RV, we use professional SealTech leak testing technology to take the guesswork out of leak detection. Instead of waiting for visible damage, we can find leaks early. Before they become a serious problem.

No guesswork. No unnecessary dismantling. Just clear answers.
Why Early Detection Matters
Catching a leak early can save you:
