How to protect your motorhome from rusting and damage.

Motorhomes may look like big chunks of machines that can’t easily be destroyed but up against a bigger force, they can’t compare. That force being mother nature and her sweat, or what we like to call humidity that is sure to make any iron or steel, any metal in general rust away. This is why we need to protect our Motorhomes from damage by using a Motorhome Rust treatment. A rust treatment s quite simple to understand if you aren’t in pre-school, but there are people who are not familiar with the whole concept so here it is! In layman’s terms; The Rust treatment works by protecting the Metal by keeping away from the environmental changes or in this case moisture. This is done by spraying a coat of a water-based primer which consists of Tannic acid and a polymer amongst other things. This coat becomes the outer layer of the steel and instead of attacking the metal, the environment actually attacks the primer instead, prolonging the period of rusting my a few years until you need a new coat.``

There are many things people need to remember when going for a Motorhome Rust Treatment, as many don’t actually understand how the whole process works, if you have good mechanics they will probably take these steps for you but if they miss anything, its best you know how the process works so that you can double-check. This process is not complicated, actually quite easy to understand logically. As everything is going to be coated with spray solvent, it’s best to know what places to cover and what parts you need to get sprayed. Mark all the places you need to get sprayed, that is any part which is metal and may become rusted. This does not include handles and hinges as the spray dries and can affect the performance of these. The places that can’t be sprayed need to be taped off completely and the inside of the Motor home needs to be prepared according to the same rule. It’s best to place a plastic cover all over the seats as well as the mats on the floor and the windows, leaving only the metal out for the spray effect.

This process is more meticulous than difficult as everything needs to be kept in check and taped off or exposed according to the Motorhomes demands. The best way to make sure that your Motorhome Rust treatment is well done is to get in touch with good companies, such as Campervan Coachworks, they work on everything in great detail and look through everything twice and thrice to make sure it is done well.
