In Canada one has no excuses.  We have KROWN.com so every 2 years I take out the cabinets and take
the van to KROWN for spraying inside and out.  That way one need not worry about condensation.  I
also have replaced the fiberglass insulation with foil bubble sandwich.  If you want to search the
archives for author=stebbins for=krown (or cabinet removal) (and I'd suggest a year by year search
from about 1997) and you will have all I have to say on the topic. Krown has STOPPED the little
bit of seam rust on my van for the past 7 years.   Malcolm, Halifax  NS
