Rust Stains

Has anyone else had this issue of rust stains coming from the Boondock grab handle?Second instance of the factory needing to do more sealing in certain areas. First instance was the Yakima rail system screws were not siliconed and water found its way in and damaged my interior wall in the back. 

I purchased this trailer for the quality build, but guess mine was manufactured on a Friday 🤣.

    On my new 320, I had rust in the crotch of that handle where it meets the flat base.  Nucamp said some black rustoleum spray paint would be fine.  I usually spray it in a cup and then dab it on with a brush.  Yours clearly has some unpainted (or poorly painted) areas on the back.  You might have to take that off and find the trouble spot- and maybe paint it.  Of course, if you had warranty left, you could let them do it.  I'm with you on that type of stuff though-- I had a list of things like that where I had to touch up paint, re-caulk, file some spots and just touch things up.  I still think Nucamp is going to have less of this stuff than most companies, but it does seem that they could be a little more in tune with these details (especially for the price of these campers).

    My grab handle had rust stains like the original post image. Wiping it doesn't remove it. Didn’t think it was that noticeable but it is an Oct 2024 320S BBC build.

    Good idea, I'll detach it and put clear silicone caulking in the holes and put it back on.
