Doug,
Our coach came from the dryer southern states so the brake lines were in pretty good condition. So every year I put the coach up on ramps and spray down portions of the frame with Used ATF. In addition while I'm under there, I will also spray the brake line clamped contact points with the ATF. Seems to have kept things from rusting for the last 20yrs of my ownership.
As for the MC, Matt is right about the rain water heading straight for that MC. So, this is what I did to help that situation. Involves using an aluminum meatloaf pan, held in place with a zip-tie or Velcro strap. Seems to work for me.

Also, ON TOPIC, I bleed the brake lines with fresh fluid about every 3 or so years. Much cheaper and easier than not doing it and having to replace calipers, Master Cylinders or wheel cylinders when they rust from the inside.
