Holy Rust Batman! What to do?
I seem to have quite a bit of rust under my 2013 Hyper Lite 27HFS. I'm not sure what to do about it. I'm honestly blown away at how much rust is under it. Has anyone experienced the same problem? ...

Oh yea, I think this is pretty common. Best you can do is scrape off the loose paint and then use a spray paint with a rust inhibitor, and spray away.
My Springdale came with rust. The first year I had it, I scraped for a couple weeks all over the frame. Then used Rust-o-lium (black), brush on type and spray, oil based, not water based, with the rust inhibitor. The second year, I could see the spots I missed. I lightly scraped them and sprayed again. Third year all the way through to the 8th year of ownership, never saw the rust pop through again, or have paint flaking. I repainted the tongue twice, and touched up the parts of the under-frame that could be seen where it wasn't covered.
I crawled around under that camper quite often, and never saw rust pop through again.
I need to do some minor touch-ups on my current camper now too. But yes, your experience is very common.
