Rusty Mor Ryde IS :(

[kakampers]

Here are the pics of the rust on our IS system.....

There is a slight bit of rust on the frame itself, but that appears normal based on our past experiences.

Wow, that is bad.

Not that you should have to, but a good coat of spray Rustoleum primer and black paint will protect that for years.

I used Rustoleum to touch up my frame and it holds up much better than the finish Lippert put on it. Trace

Good idea that stuff really works good. I have had my cars and trucks sprayed with it.

Could not find Fluid Film anywhere locally, so ordered through internet. Just had 2 cans delivered, and that is what I plan on using.

Can the fluid film be sprayed over rust and then painted?

This product actually takes rust and chemically transforms it into a anti-rust barrier.

We live in the northeast and ours looks nothing like that. I would be sending those pics off to MOR/ryde.

Your frame also looks much more rusty than our's, which is at least two years older with 30K miles on it.

Are you sure you didn't travel across some well salted roads somewhere? Trace

Trace....Positive! It was delivered to TX, driver said it was bone dry all the way down. We took it to TN, DC in the summer, back to TN and then back to TX. Never been through snow/salt and never been to the beach.

UPDATE: Sent email and pics to Mor Ryde. Also mentioned that at least one other Heartlander is having this issue...they were surprised and said they have not had this issue before, but as of this morning they are investigating the paint used on aftermarket installs. Gary told me that only the factory installs get powder coated, as it is a time issue...not enough lead time on aftermarket installs. They also told me that mine will be taken care of by them...I am making an appointment to stop there prior to the National Rally which we are attending to have a system checkup. They said this will give them time to come up with a better paint and they will correct this during that check up....gotta love a stand up company! Just like Heartland!!

This shouldn't happen in that time period even if one did travel on salted roads.

Yours was installed in Elkhart or by someone else?

It was in Goshen at the Mor Ryde facility...

Ken and Kathy, can you send me private message with phone and email info as I would also like to have MorRyde look at mine. Prior to or just after Goshen rally would be perfect.
