Try a new Bus.
If thats out of the question, the you can get rust converters that are based on phosphoric acid. Apply, leave then coat with a sealer like fish oil.

Replace the steel?

I've tried everything on a trailer I have including rust converters then fisholine and then spray painting, but it always comes back.

Good luck though.

Smocky.

fisholene?? bejaisus.
I wouldnt wish that crap on anyone

Ranex. Its a transparent solvent. scrape off as much rust as you can witha steel brush if you can get in there, maybe even a steel bristle brush head on a drill if its a tight fit. Brush it on and it reacts with the rust, let it dry, clean and paint it over.

With the painting over, hit it with a can of killrust spray paint... its no 2-pack metallic, but I dont think it would be out of place on your rig mate.

You can buy small sandblasting units from Supecheap for around $25.
You need a reasonable size compressor or alternatively do very small bits at a time...
Use the proper grit (not sand) and blast it back to white metal.
ASAP coat the white metal with a quality Marine primer (eg Nortask), when dry coat with a couple of coats of quality epoxy enamal.
This works well for smaller areas eg seams etc. Fishoil is good for penetrating into areas where you cant get to. Smell will be gone in 2-3 months!

All the above replies + put in an E.R.P.S arrests rust from day one.

If you don't like the smell of fisholene (who does?) try Lanolin. Sheep oil. Smells like sheep funnily enough but only for a day or two.

I use it for all sorts. Rust proofing, lubricating................
