Took our caravan to Namibia and back in April.
Between Swakop and Walvis you have a long stretch of salt road. Its like snot when it rains.
Anyways. The caravan didn’t stand up to strong against the salt on that roads
Had the whole undercarriage cleaned, treated and stone chipped. All the taps underneath were changed. The old ones were rusted badly. Had the leafspring treated and resprayed.
Hell. I won’t ever take a caravan on salt roads again.
