Chassis rust is obviously a big issue for both owners and used RV buyers.
On the verge of buying my first used RV, this is a topic obviously high on my checklist as far as chassis inspection is concerned, and I am looking for solutions to keep the chassis without rust, or to early detect rust spot(s).
I found 2 products of interest, on the high/complex side:
- 3M? Body Schutz? Rubberized Coating
http://3mcollision.com/products/coatings/3m-body-schutz-rubberized-coating-black-8864.html
(Requiring a specialist to assess and prepare the chassis, before application)
And this less common Electronic Rust Suppression System:
- CATIII-4XHD - Extra Heavy Duty 4 Pad Rust Suppression System.

What about rust inhibitor sprays? Seems to me difficult, costly and not lasting enough, with such a huge chassis estate...
BTW, as a buyer of used RV, my fear is about rust encapsulator products, that I won't be able to detect, while inspecting a chassis.
"Your chassis looks very clean!" Sort of... Unvisible rust, well coated.
Experiences? Simpler ways but efficient?
