For what its worth, pass this along for those who are as 'anal' about their coaches as I am. I had noticed that the two torx screws securing the large tail light assembly to the coach were corroded. This coach had been sitting in a coastal environment for several years which probably contributed to the corrosion I'm finding.

Removed the tail light assembly and the two mounting brackets behind the light were heavily corroded. Removed the brackets and fasteners, wire brushed the rust off, and painted. The flat bracket that mounts to the fiberglass body had rusted were moisture got between the bracket and fiberglass. Applied a silicone seal and reinstalled the brackets/lights.

Thanks for the tip John, stainless items may help also.
Found out this winter driving over salty roads doesn't help much either under coach needs painting.
