A Dutch woman named Ingrid told the portal Metronieuws that she bought a caravan for 12,500 euros on an online marketplace. After the first rain on holiday, water ran down the interior wall, the seat cushion got wet and a puddle formed on the floor. A specialist in her home country found significant moisture damage in several places, including decayed wood behind a wall panel, and estimated that the damage had probably existed for years. The repair cost another 3,000 euros. A professional moisture check before purchase costs between 150 and 500 euros.
