Re: [Safarifriends] Skin Corrosion

[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.
