Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to use a pin-type moisture meter to find water infiltrations in a Fiat Ducato camper. This is a very simple and inexpensive device, which we can find, for example, on Amazon with the code B08X1T8N6Z at a price of 24.79 euros, with free delivery for Prime customers.

The operation of this device is based on measuring the electrical resistance of the material, which varies depending on the moisture content: it generally has two sharp needles that are inserted into the material to be measured. The moisture meter sends a low-voltage electrical current through the needles and measures the resistance of the material: the higher the moisture content, the lower the resistance.

The results are displayed on a screen and indicate the percentage of moisture present in the material.
