    In October I cleaned and painted the frame on the Pete. I did not see any rust jacking under the fifth wheel but decided to pull it off anyways.

    I'm glad I did and could not believe the crud under it. You can see it ate into the frame pretty good.

    I used a needle scaler and wire wheel grinder to prep it, then hit it with self etching primer followed by por 15 top coat chassis black.

    While It was apart I installed new air bags.

    See your suspension brackets are alum bolted to frame. Was there any jacking going on there as well ? I just changed some crossmember brackets on mine. The electrolysis was bad from 21 yrs. Alum was turning into powder.

    That’s typically because someone lacks a bit of patience. ;)
