The camper came from California so very little rust, bit on the bottom corner of the tailgate and a pin prick on the quarter lights so they are coming out, plus for what I can afford to pay him this time round he has done an amazing amount of work so far - needed a bit of panel beating when it was striped due to a bash at some stage on one side at the front.

the window out reference was notyhing to do with rust rot. but you will have a paint edge which will be the start of future grief, popping windows out is near on f.o.c, and well worth doing, never paint round stuff if you can avoid it
