do you get a copy of the pdi  and dampness tests when you pick up your new caravan from the dealer ?

    Assume you mean a brand new caravan, if so no the only checklist I`ve had is from the factory. Regards PDI there are tell tale signs such as water in toilet etc damp tests would only be on second hand vans. If you are buying a second hand van make a PDI
    Checklist and Damp Test results part of the agreement, you are paying for the van!.

    Not to my knowledge but I am sure if you made it part of the deal or just a simple request, any dealer would be happy to oblige if you were spending that sum of money.

    This essential when buying second hand and I would be suspicious of one sold without one. Hope yours is fine but I would not have taken it without one.

    I assume you are talking about a new caravan.  If so there will be no damp test report however there should be a PDI report, after all when you buy the caravan you pay extra for PDI and delivery cost.

    Not sure a damp report on a new caravan would be useful if it had come straight from the factory as no time for damp to penetrate. If you got a stock model that had been outside for some time then it would help.
