Is this the garage that DID find the rust or the one that DIDN'T?The garage in question? Chuley Road Garage in Ashburton, Devon.

any under body sealing has a finite life. scratches, abrasions and any damage or holes need immediate repair. I have owned a great many motorhomes over the years and see waxoyling as a way to protect my investment. there are a few companies about that specialise and provide a warranty for their work. however I have always done the work myself or paid a friend to do it under my supervision. assuming the underside is clean and free from issues the job can be done in 2 hours. just ensure you avoid spraying it on the exhaust or engineHi Big1, Thanks for the advice. The garage has treated the new metal with a wax oil solution, and I am thinking about having ALL of the underside done. However, I have read in the Hymer handbook that I should NOT use any underbody protective as they have already applied same. It actually says "On no account should any underbody sealing be carried out by the owner". Your thoughts????. Brian. Any recommendations for companies that specialize in wax oiling??.

The fact that you and others have found rust in the same place on the underside would encourage me to ignore the warning from Hymer. They are obviously unaware that their vehicles rust.Hi Big1, Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, you can always trust the Germans to give you the full picture (thinking fondly of the VAG group fiasco)The fact that you and others have found rust in the same place on the underside would encourage me to ignore the warning from Hymer. They are obviously unaware that their vehicles rust.
