Bottom Line, The current damage is minor. Next time follow Bruce's rules to limit exposure to salt and brine. He's an experienced Newmar guy and if he feels that extent of precautions is necessary when buying Newmar I'd believe him.
To remediate this problem, get the underside power washed using fresh water. Then spray with a rust converter product. To decide which one talk to some old tractor or old car guys. They deal with old rusty parts all the time and want their restored unit looking new, so you need their experience to end up in the same place.
I'd then set up a maintenance program to inspect the underside every six months and do another round of rust conversion. If there's too much new rust at six months, shorten the time span. Or go longer if you're ok with the current rate of decay.
What you have isn't serious, but you are a couple of years farther up the curve than you paid for. I'd not recommend your dealer to friends or use them again.I'd also ask the dealer to pay for the treatment.
