T18skyguy, Ontario uses lots of salt. The trailer has traveled for 2 March Breaks down to Florida. After the first trip I washed the trailer as soon as I was home and by mid summer this is how rusted it was. I talked to the dealer and showed him and was told its just the way it is. My plan was to wire brush the entire exposed frame, paint and then get it undercoated this fall to try and slow things down.
Absolutely no off roading. We have drove a few dirt roads but nothing nasty. No modifications to the trailer or frame and nothing heavy in the rear of the trailer. All questions the dealer asked me when I dropped it off.
Hi Bedpan,
I had surface rust on my frame too. I sanded and painted the tongue but the ordered Corrosion Free kit with sprayer. No need to wire bush and paint it the solution dissolves the rust and penetrates to the metal protecting it from further rust. Works great and been using on my vehicles for the last 11 years.
