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.
This has nothing to do with being a Newmar, it's anything that is exposed to the brine being used on the roads today. ANY vehicle exposed to the brine will suffer the same.
The OPs MH was clearly driven in a heavy brine, you can see it in the pictures.
In this case so far it's nothing more than surface rust. I honestly wonder how much will clean itself off once driven in normal conditions. Driving in the rain is a wonderful way to wash and flush the underside of a vehicle.
I'm on the road for work, I drive through a bunch of rain. For my vehicles rust hasn't been much of an issue. My wife drives a mile back and forth to work, we've started leasing her car, and brine is a big part of why.
