Checking my RV for leaks using a Moisture Meter. 

You have it on "wall" setting, which I believe is for sheetrock / drywall. I set it on "Softwood" in my RV. MDF trim I sometimes set for Hardwood. I have mostly plywood (with aluminum framing, which sets off high reading over aluminum). I would think Softwood would be the correct setting for particle board, as well. This is the best tool I ever bought!

Thank you for the vid on the moisture meter, I just ordered this one on Amazon for $46. I will be looking for a used RV soon and this will give me a heads up on leaks. Great Idea !! I live in Wa. State and we have a lot of rain and rot and rust.Scotty

Thanks for this review. I'm renovating a old property and need to check for damp in walls. These retail at £80 (about $100) here in the UK. I'll report my findings and results once I have them.

That thing is awesome and exactly what i need, thanks!!

but this could work GREAT for me when i go shop for my Class C in October, thanks for sharing.

Great idea for checking moisture behind RV walls. That said, I think you were actually onto something early in the video... someone should make a moisture meter that has a sensor built into the top face of the meter vs only offering meters with the sensor stuck in the rear center of the unit. A meter with a sensor built into the top face would allow for getting up nice and close to seems and molding edges... which of course is where most water intrusion begins.

Nicely done. good info and real life testing. I'll get one

can I use it at fiberglass bottom of my sailboat for moisture?

Thanks for the video. Are you still happy with your moisture meter? Thanks

Haha, I’m scared to buy this tool for my travel trailer...

Could this meter able to detect leaks under tiles? My bathroom is leaking.

Will show readingsn ear doorways because of metal. It only works where there is no metal frame, ect.

can i use it at wooden plates

You don't wet your fingers it does not measure surface moisture. It measures below the surface.

This is not how you inspect for moisture with any conclusive, reliable results. Settings matter, knowing which class of materials your testing matter, knowing the depth of reading matters, knowing the difference of measuring by capacitance vs conductance matters, Temperature & RH matters. Is it a drain pipe behind the wall, lol or maybe its wall board staple? Seriously? Don't give yourself a heartattach using a moisture meter in the way shown. Bottom line, you need both Pin and Pinless meter, solid understanding of the construction, its materials and experience.

This moisture meter finds metals as water...
