New TT with Rusty Bottom
Hey y'all. A good friend recently bought a brand new TT. He told me he'd ordered it special and it was manufactured within the past few months. It turns out, his trailer's whole underside is rusty....

What I've done to both of my Class A rigs with rusty undercarriages is stabilize it by spraying and brushing on Jasco Prep & Primer. It's inexpensive, Home Depot carries it in the paint department. It chemically changes the rust back into metal and halts it's progression. It can be painted afterwards but I don't bother. Just stabilizing it works fine.

You can use the Jasco to remove oxidation in fiberglass, too.
I used to do fair amount of painting and Jasco was one of the products I used. There are stronger phosphoric acid based rust neutralizers but a user needs to careful with personal protection and over-spray. One of my favorites is Water Softener Cleaner, the green liquid in a bottle. It rivals some of the auto body etchants I've used and is a lot cheaper. I apply it, typically, with a garden sprayer or, for small jobs, with an empty Windex hand held bottle. Sometimes, I dilute it for just surface rust.
