Sorry guys, have another question on something I discovered when I was under the motorhome checking the battery and starter cables. I saw the box frame had some sizable rust holes in it around where it hits the front cross frame just in front of the axle. I know that the battery may have caused some of this rusting but this looks a little concerning. The hole is on the inside face of the box frame just forward of the cross member. The outer part of the box, appears to be a thicker c-channel that the boxed in with plate steel seams to be pretty good, but the plate steel on the inner face of the box is rusted out in the bearing point area. You guys had this condition? Other side (drivers side) looks fine.

Thanks,
TG
