Im going to invest in a pinless moisture meter,

I cannot find a protimeter (like the craic meter) below €220,

My local company Caulfields in Galway have extech meters (caulfields for quality is the local saying)
I like the look of the Extech MO57,

Does any craicers have any meter that they can be recommend?

I bought the Extech M0280 pinless meter in Caufields a few months ago. Seems to work fine

Thanks for that Dave,
The reviews of the Extech seem fairly positive 👍🏻

I have wondered the effectiveness of moisture meters now as you can leave a dehumidifier in the van and suck out most of the moisture. Any thoughts

With the number of air vents in a motorhome you will only be sucking the moisture out of all the air, inside and out

I bought this meter about 12 years ago for use in my retail flooring business and found it to be invaluable. It cost me then in the region of £350 and was used a lot in 2015 when a large part of our town was severely flooded. As you can see it shows moisture and percentage readings. I have no idea what it would be like in a motorhome but worked well on floors. (The badge on the front is irrelevant, just ignore)
