Can report my 3grand camper shed cost 200 pounds to get through the mot. I needed a new indicator stalk.

That sounds reasonable. I just had to stump up £700 for the landrover, but it needed an expensive fuel pressure regulator plus a bunch of 100K-miles service works were added on. Cheaper than buying a new one....

I guess there's a fair bit of plywood in coach-built motorhomes and in home conversions. I would have thought that damp and wet rot would be more likely problems than dry rot - what's the issue, Louise?

[Gobi - my daughter just paid 200 pounds for a new indicator stalk on her ten-year old Peugeot 107. Not sure what the issue was, but I think there was probably corrosion on the contacts and they went from intermittent working to not working. Not a cheap undertaking, it seems.]

No, but when it is the only issue on a 243000 mile van you smile and pay :-)

Sorry, disappeared for a while. Dry rot: in the body of an oldish motorhome.

Hello, Helegant!

Louise, sorry, the collected wisdom here doesn’t seem to be familiar with the dry rot problem - hope you find a solution.
