Yes, you can use Krown Rust Prevention oil or similar. But, I highly
recommend you at least pull the fridge and have a look back there. You will
get a big surprise. If your seeing rust on the outside then that's just the
tip of the iceberg. One thing you can do to alleviate the problem is to remove
the Fiberglas insulation from the middle seam down to the floor, clean up the
mess, pour liberal amounts of Krown in the floor channel, spray the wall and p
anel seams with Krown and shoot Krown in the support rib that's midway in the
panel. Then install Styrofoam insulation panels. It's a PITA working through
the Fridge hole but can be done. Best way is to remove the entire cabinet
unit and do it right. If you don't see rust on your outside seams you should
still do this as preventative measure ! See my <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/fridge.htm">VW Vanagon Westfalia Dometic
