Dealers are strongly encouraged to clean all newly delivered trailers immediately upon receipt; this recommendation includes the chassis and undercarriage. Pay particular attention to the wheel wells, LP lines and connections, chassis components, and suspension parts.

Multiple states are now using calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and sodium chloride as de-icing compounds for their highways. Road debris and chlorides tend to accumulate under the trailers during the delivery and if left on for prolonged periods, can be corrosive to metals and finishes. Unless removed, these newer chemicals can start to deteriorate the appearance of the product. By thoroughly cleaning immediately, the short and long-term effects of corrosion can be significantly reduced.
