When I shut down engine yesterday and locked rig. I noticed a substantial amount of scaley rust on driveway under tail pipe 4' sq. This is the 1st time this has happened. What's up?

We need a picture to determine exactly where it came from. Most likely it came off of the coach body's attachment hardware. It's unlikely that it's from the chassis. Get a flashlight and go and take a look-see where the rust came from.

Just like Ca cars are known to be rust free this rv has no rust on it. Spent enough time under it seeing now it's put together to know. The condensation answer is likely right and is probably more pronounced with our single digit humidity here. I noticed as soon as I bought it, more water droplets blowing out tailpipe when starting it up. Thats when I'm going around disconnecting elec etc to go. The scaley rust is something I've never seen before. It is a bigger engine than I've ever had. Kinda wonder how long muffler & cat will last with this? Thanks
