Best method to restore rusted metal?
I was wondering what is the best method to restore some of the rusted metal on our travel trailer. Should I use a wire brush and rattle can, or do something else? ...

As a guy who has restored quite a few vehicles from the frame up and used many different processes. NOTHING, NOTHING beats sandblasting the effected area, then adding a couple coats of epoxy paint. It will last as long as you do.
Is epoxy paint something that I can rattle can, or is it a product that needs to be professionally sprayed?
Hmm. Not professionaly, but you need a paint gun. You can get a paint gun for relatively cheap. You do mix it. But its like an egg shell.
Amazing stuff.
I epoxied some bare metal that was rusted/sandblasted and then painted. Outside in the seattle rain for 7 years. Not even one sign of rust.
