Our 2014 Lifestyle was ordered and delivered to the dealer in FL in March of 2014. It was built during the awful winter of 2014. So it had to be pulled through the salty road slush to get out of Indiana to FL.
It arrived filthy underneath. The dealer cleaned it up and it has not worsened to this day.
I was at the Tampa RV Super Show last year and saw many, many RV's that obviously had been pulled through the Indiana road slush that had a lot of "rust" on the under carriages. Axles are delivered to the manufactures and set outside getting rust on them and pitting for months until a rig is built.
I think a lot of this is just the nature of the RV industry and does not mean a quality issue.
I sincerely encourage you to move along on this issue and focus on enjoying the rig and the years ahead with it. My biggest concern is Winnebago standing behind their product and any other issues that might arise that are far more important (in my opinion) like leaks, structural integrity, etc. Good luck and safe travels.
