    Rust prevention questions

    Painted surfaces do not rust. If it's got a good coat of paint on it, you should be good to go. Touch up any scrapes / scratches every summer. Or throw money at covering it with something else and touch that up every summer. as already said POR15 will not stick to anything but bare metal.

    Could I pull a pop-up camper behind a M1009?

    Short Wheelbase, 3.08 gearing, not the best tow vehicle. 2500-3000lb pop up :shock: Guess you really pack the gear in! Yes, aftermarket trans cooler & class III or better frame hitch, stock size tires & she'll do fine except for the big hills.
