From personal experience and expense I can say that rotting of the radiator core from road chemicals used in snow removal is a known problem with side mounted radiators.
The problem is enhanced since the radiator is the last unit in the stack and rarely gets flushed well after coach use in those conditions. While many of us may make an attempt to clean the cooling stack we can't do a very effective job due to the way they are assembled and installed. The mounting hardware and shrouding make a thorough cleaning a hit and miss affair at best.
My comments don't directly address the OP's problem, but may be useful to someone who is encountering cooling issues.
