The van has an amazingly thick black rubber coating on the underside of the
entire van, I have to check the sides of the van wall edge. Thanks for the
info.

Overall I think I will check behind the existing seams for further rust if
they are not already covered with the black rubber coating. Then I will use
the POR15 coating, then the resin filler patch they have, then finally sand
it down the spray it with POR15 Silver topcoat spray. I am hoping this will
keep the rust out for a while.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Ps was the list serv down over the weekend? I did not any emails...
