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 Fridge Maintenance</A> webpage for more information.
