I will NOT have grandson spray the undercarriage again. We had been at a campground on the ocean for over a week so he thought it would be a good idea to rinse the salt spray off the whole rv and I agreed. My bad.
I would much rather have a very rare wet spot on a carpet than a rusting rig.
When our rig gets salted the first time, you can be sure I'll be power washing as much as possible upon our return home. Admittedly we don't have a slide out, but if we did, I'd still do it. Maybe just place towels on the floor prior.
I think your grandson had the right idea. On that rare occasion, simply dry out the interior. As long as it's not flooding the interior, just small amounts that can be toweled up, I'd do it. That is much better than a rig with a rust problem.
Sea air does salt up vehicles. Not just the body, but all areas. Though I am not sure how much in a week's time. Better safe than sorry. My cousin lives on the ocean. Her 7 year old Jaguar is a wreck. Sea air salt is extremely fine, getting into very strange places. But I suppose no worse than driving around here in the Chicago area in the winter when every car becomes the color white.
If you change motor homes as often as some people change cars, then I wouldn't bother. But our rig needs to last the rest of my driving years and I'm age 55.
