Just back from checking on 5er in storage:(
DW and I went to check on the 5er today. Mice have invaded again. We had poison out, all gone. Also had cotton balls spread around with the peppermint oil on them. Found a nest with peppermint scented...

I use the Bounce regular scent dryer sheets... I don't know what, if anything, they do about mice, but I do believe they absorb moisture and help to keep the camper smelling good. I also use Irish Spring soap -- if nothing else, again they help to keep the camper smelling good.
I put mothballs OUTSIDE the camper, around all ground contact points: tires and front hitch.
I use "Ramik" and "One Bite" bait in my basement and shed. One thing about using mouse bait inside a camper - the mice are attracted the bait, which means you are actually attracting mice to enter your camper. So if at all possible put the bait outside. Most places that sell the bait have animal resistance containers to put the bait in - mice can get in to eat the bait, but other animals can't touch it.
Keeping mice out is an on going battles - read the other threads that are linked in an earlier post for more ideas.
