Subject:Re: seam rust, how to prevent?

My seam rust started from the rear of the rear wheel wells, it
rusted through there first, into the inside of the panels, before!
the seam rust was visible from the outside.  So:

1)  make sure that there is good rust proofing in the wheel
wheels.  Check it out first before you tar over rusted metal.

2)  I took out my cabinets (and all interior panels) and sprayed
"Rust Check" in all of the panels.  Taking out the rear vertical
cabinet is a bit of a pain.  Remember there is insulation in all of
the westy panels so one 'can't' blindly spray in there.

3)  I routinely spray all of the seams with "Rust Check"
