Should I Be worried that my brand new Class C with less than 1500 miles has more rust under it than my work van that is 2 years old and 120,000 miles on it. The camper has rust on the drive shaft, frame, axles and on and on.

Same here. Works very well. But everything under RV has this oily film on it. ๐Ÿ˜‰


X3, the thing is though too bad the MFG's wouldn't just use a metal rust paint to protect it a bit better. It is possible (and dirty) to go wire wheel that stuff off and paint. Be prepared for a shower after.
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

There would be no sense in worrying about rust if you live in New England, it will happen.

your chassis vin is older than your coach vin, happens all the time ,the rv factory buys them by the hundreds and lets them sit till there ready to build.
