Stainless steel all around.  Frank's right abour us Canadian's knowing all
about rusty bit and pieces.  I've resolved that every single nut bolt or
screw that I ever remove from any part of my van shall be replaced with
stainless steel, provided that the hardware exists.  I've spent way to many
hours drilling cutting torching and dremmeling rusty hardware on my van.
Stainless looks great too.  All my lights, (tails, side markers, signals)
and all my camper outlets are held on now with nice shiney stainless steel.
Same with all my bumper end caps, engine tin, pop top carriage bolts and on
and on..

Do it. Do it now. Go stainless.
