   Hi So as I am doing my de-winterize and spring maintenance I am looking at rust on the frame of my 178.  I find I have rust of some degree on all the under metal frame, worst where the angled supports are than the rest but some on all metal frame members.  I was wondering what northerners are doing to maintain? I assume mine is from salt as I had to drive it on some roads in the winter?  I did wash it and try and spray things down but apparently not effective.   Anyone have any good suggestions?  I did find No Corrosion spray online but not familiar with it and have no idea if that works?  

Thanks for input,  Cheers Dave

	A light sanding to remove rust, not necessary to go down to bare metal. Then paint on OsPho, it's a rust inhibitor available to Lowes, Home Depot and many other hdw stores. It actually bonds with the rust. 2 coats may be necessary, then paint over with enamel. Works great

	+1, I use wirebrush, Extendes which is a spray rust inhibitor and good old rustoleum enamel. Inspect at beginning and end of camping season.
