Surface Rust in Various Chassis Area

[Antper]

Hello
Have various areas of my 2019 30X that has surface rust on chassis and suspension parts. only has 3K miles. Not sure where the first owner drove it to get it in that condition. No rot just surface rust.Without going crazy big with a project what can I put on those rust areas to stop or slow down the mess? Paint over it with p.o.r? jelly spray on lubricant?

My 2019 30X was that way too. Everything - I mean everything metal on the underside was corroded. That being said I was told by the dealer, Jayco and a commercial truck shop (where I had it inspected), that is was ugly, but not an operational problem for another 10 years. The truck shop did put it on a lift and sprayed the underside with fluid film for me. After owning it two years I traded it on a Melbourne (on a Mercedes chassis) and found no corrosion. Everything seems painted.

Yes I thought about that fluid film but I'm thinking its gonna get all over everything else like hoses and wiring and be messy slimy job working on anything under the rig.
Thanks for the input.

I used red oxide primer, followed by this product in brush on. You could probably spray. I just prefer to apply with a brush for better adherence. Got it at Ace Hardware.
