Probably not what you want to hear but it is nearly impossible to get rid of the smell of dead mouse and/or urine in an RV. When I was looking to buy a used RV I came across 3 of them that had mouse smell and it was bad. All three owners where selling them because they could not get the smell out. :(
Ripping out the carpet might help. But if they were in there any length of time the particle board underneath will be permeated with the urine also. Bleach is recommended by the CDC.
Also be careful as mice carry HPS and fleas. Just last year several campers where sickened when tents at a CG had mice droppings and urine.
This explains the health issue of HPS and how to clean up from the CDC.

Sorry I don't have good news to offer but IMHO it is prudent to be informed to protect your family in the small confines of an RV. Good Luck
