How do I fix a damp patch inside a caravan, there's a portion of interior wall that is suffering from damp and as a result has gone "soft" how do I fix it and what will it cost.

All depends if you have a leak, and where the damp patch is, and how far the damp has spread.

Seems to be confined to one spot around 3' x 12" I think the water has entered through the bottom of the window that the area is beneath.

You mean a leaky window or rail trim, or a window which has been left open and water to enter?

What part/area of the caravan are we talking about, front/back/corners etc, which window is it?

It's the front "nearside" interior where the seating is and just seems to be a single flat surface.
