Rust Under Brand New Camper
We just bought a 2019 Coleman, our first camper ever. I crawled under it for the first time today and there's a lot of rust. Is this normal and is it ok? Do we need to do something? Picture

Looks like surface rust on the springs - your frame looks pretty good;
Every Fall I crawl under my camper and hose it down. The I use Rustoleum
Undercoating and spray the entire frame and other exposed areas. Usually
about 5 cans of the stuff. Protects the whole underside from getting worse.
on previous TTs, I used to spray the frame with a solution of Marvel
Mystery Oil/WR40 from a garden sprayer. It worked really well in halting any
further corrosion but it was a bit messy.
