As I am tidying up the camper I thought I would try and stop the stone chips. Is there anything new on the market that people have used thats good.

I know there is nothing perfect but as close to as possible  ;D

It's not new, but I use this stuff - http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Septone-Paint-Stone-Shield-Black-1-Litre/33204

Minimal prep (good wash with a pressure cleaner), takes about 3 cans to do under the camper. Reapply every other year or so.

Can you use a paintbrush to apply it as I dont have a spraygun or is it best tp get a spraycan of the same stuff.

Mark , Being out where you are I wouldnt bother ..   Wont protect it from chip as such, but will stop it getting surface rust, will look like crap though ..
A garden sprayer pump pack to apply sump oil thinned with a bit of diesel and spray the undersides with a good liberal coating, then go for a decent drive on a nice dusty road to seal it ..
When you get back to a more on road type area in the future, give the under sides a good steam clean and then give it a good coat of what ever you want to tidy it up with to get it ready for sale  .

Never tried, but I spoze you could. I use one of these jiggers to squirt it on - http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/BODY-DEADENER-SPRAY-GUN-KIT-/526278

It screws straight onto the can, but you will need access to an air compressor.
