water damage to slide update

Yahoo Message Number: 110930
Need some help on reparing slide. I have removed all the damaged wood have most of the rust removed on the frame tubing. Have two ways to treat the rust, prime and paint or use rust stabilizer. Any thoughts on which is better. Second gluing the luan back to the foam and metal frame there seem to be several options, contact cement appears to be what was the factory option, have seen post on using spray foam the window type, some use a dap product that is approved for eps, 3m spray adhesives are some choice. Any and all thoughts would be helpful.

I think it was the roof of the slide, shortly after purchasing coach noticed a wet spot on carpet on slide.
found where the caulk had separated repaired and have not had any sign of leaks since. Had a small area on the carness where the veneer had come loose removed to repair that is when i found the damage but there was no dampness just dry rot and mold and mildew stains.

The slide cover had some damage when i got the coach it was torn and patched with something like duct tape and some of the seams had come unsewn. i had all that fixed that probably help with stopping the leaks as well. the coach was three years old when I took posesion so there was ample time for the wall to become soaked. I keep the coach stored inside but not sure how it was stored before me.
