Re: [Safarifriends] Skin Corrosion

Post by Richard G »

'Thank you for this interesting posting. Did SMC give you a price on a
replacement panel ? If so, how much did they want for the job ? Are you
afraid that this spot rust will get worse with age ? Did you add any venting
mechanism to the area, either inside or out ? Did you look at the area
thoroughly from the inside at all ? This is a common problem with the
underside of the over the cab sleeper in a Class C . Good luck with it and
thanks for the warning. RG
