Strangest critter found in an rv?

I saw the post about the snakes in the rv. That might win any contest right off the bat.
Didn't want to steal his thread so here's my "strangest critter found in my rv" thread.

This one climbed aboard our rv after on overnight stop in Oregon while heading towards Montana a couple of years back. Thats a 35 lb bag of dogfood he's climbing on. He went underneath the rv and clung on somewhere all the way back to Vegas. Drove the dogs nuts. Tough time getting him to come out.

Anybody else. (no, picts of the husband or wife don't count)

    Yup. Dems birds.


    LOL...well, duh. I meant...anyone recognize the specific type of bird?

    camping in Indiana last summer, unrolled a window awning and found this LIVE bat
    he eventually flew away





    Yes it peed on the awning, it was probably terrified
    when it became exposed to the sun

    While unloading the MH the morning after 5 months on the road, we went for another load and found a roadrunner perched on the steering wheel looking out the front window... looked just like a roadrunner cartoon. Lake Havasu City Arizona has quite a thriving population of these and our share of coyotes too.

    Galvanizd, He had to hitch a ride cause there's no way that little feller could eat 35 lbs of dog food in one sitting.

    I bought a used 1994 Vectra in 2002. Brought it home and crawled under to see if anything needed my attention. The Vectra had basement A/C. The air inlet or outlet was enclosed with a hardware cloth screen. Hanging from that screen was a mummified bat. I didn't see it until it was about a foot from my face. I should have sold it on eBay.

    My wife drags a Neanderthal around with her in the RV all the time.
