Yes - look at my old posts. In summary - in December of 2003 I bought a new 2003 from a dealer in Florida. It may have been exposed to salt air when on the dealer lot in Florida. I towed it to northern Wisconsin. During this tow it received a dash of road salt. I rinsed it off the best I could (being below freezing at the time). Within 90 days the clear had filliform corrosion and peeling at the front seams and rivits. I stored it outdoors in Wisconsin for about 9 months. I washed and Walbernized the trailer several times. Since then I have stored it indoors. Airstream replaced the corroded skins under warranty in April 2004.

Going forward I will wash and Walbernize 1 - 2 times per year, continue to store it indoors, and avoid salt!
