Rv Battery Compartment Corrosion

Keeping your rv battery area clean.

Rv battery compartment corrosion.

X2 what carl said. The corrosion seems to be more on the house battery side of the compartment. My house bank are wet batteries and that compartment is not very well vented so i do see corrosion in there. Rv s and motorhomes such as airstreams are constantly exposed to harsh wet environments.

My newmar is a dp and my engine batteries are very well vented plus they are sealed units so never any corrosion there. Keep the area clean and corrosion free with the same solution of baking soda and water that you use to maintain the terminals. Some commonly affected parts are folding staircases electrical harnesses brake lines battery terminals and other chassis elemen. When it comes to rv battery maintenance you should also periodically clean any metal parts near your rv batteries because these too may suffer corrosion.

I plan on removing all the batteries wire brushing the corrosion treating with baking soda and water painting the area with a rustoleum rust primer then painting that with either a bedliner spray or an undercoating spray. Over time the metal parts of your vehicle will react with water and oxygen to create corrosion.
