In Canada one has no excuses. We have KROWN.com so every 2 years I take out the cabinets and take the van to KROWN for spraying inside and out. That way one need not worry about condensation. I also have replaced the fiberglass insulation with foil bubble sandwich. If you want to search the archives for author=stebbins for=krown (or cabinet removal) (and I'd suggest a year by year search from about 1997) and you will have all I have to say on the topic. Krown has STOPPED the little bit of seam rust on my van for the past 7 years. Malcolm, Halifax NS
