Road Salt and the RV

[mailman]

What Do or can one do to take care of road salt on the frame and chasee of the RV.

Is there anything that could be used to neutralize the damage that is cause to rusting?

I    know there is a concern by all of using the RV in snow , Ice , and salted Roadways.

I did see a useful tool. A friend had bolted about 5 lawn sprinklers to a board that you could drive over. He used a sprinkler like this https://www.walmart.com/ip/Aluminum-Fan-Sprinkler/55502984

He eather drove over the spray or moved it around under the coach.

I won't live or drive in weather that requires salt and other chemicals on the road.

WBill.  That's a great idea!  Would benefit all of us, no matter where we live!

Great thought your reply, and one would maybe take a look at the undercarriage  to inspect .

BUT, is there  a product to use to neutralize SALT, or the solution the turnpikes spray on road 

and dries to white trace on the road surface.  That powder left on  the road ends up coating the 

undercarriage. 

Wildebill308, thank for reply.

I live in it, wont drive the coach until we have a soaking rain to wash the roadways. Our coach appears to have followed the same philosophy from the previous owner. 

Here is a product that is well known to work;

All of my vehicles, motorhome, 3 Prius, 2 Silverado 1500 have lived there life in the Southwest and have zero rust underneath.  Motorhome has traveled coast to coast and border to border at the optimum time of the year weather wise.
