What I did after the galvanized bottom of the storage box began rusting under the rubber liner. About six 1/2 inch holes side to side, then a couple of coats of gray Rust-Oleum. Still takes forever to completely dry out under the liner but no more rusting.

Garfish, I noticed my rear bumper storage area was holding a bit of water also. I just moved the pad over, and the water started draining out the holes that were already there. I’ve been storing our sewer drain hoses (2) in there. Seems to be working ok. I used the pipe designed to hold them on our previous AS. I bought new drain lines that have caps to keep them sealed.

Garfish - a couple of things I found on our GT27. Our entire microwave cabinet is out of plumb about two inch. Currently scheduled for repair after COVID. A lot of drawers are not properly aligned. LED strips in most of the cabinets came lose. Gas hose underneath the camper was bend (see below). Shower door was installed out of level which sheared of the plastic seal at the bottom of the shower door.
Check outside foam seal of kitchen exhaust vent. Sometimes the seal slips inside the plastic cover which allows water to come in.
