Friend of mine said they have been having mouse problems in their camper this winter, which got me paranoid about mine. So I peeled back the cover and snuck in for the first time in months to check for damage (none apparent) and set some traps.
I set traps for ones in mine and couldn't catch 'em. I lifted the toilet lid and filled it half full of water. Problem solved. I think they smell water then can't get out. It's my go to method anymore. I even use a bucket in the barn. - AndyWExplorerFriend of mine said they have been having mouse problems in their camper this winter, which got me paranoid about mine.

Bought one :)
Was looking high and low for a newer one , even dickering on having one built brand spanking new ..
Drove to LA from Sacramento wasted 2 day trip . Another wasted day trip to the Bay area! Probably been to 30 RV lots , found all over priced and point blank flat out lairs at everyone of them . Except the place I was trying to deal on a new one (once I was talking with owner)
Even went to look at quite a few off Craigslist and pretty much same thing there as well, they paid too much , didn't take care of it and thinks it still worth what they paid for it...
Found a private owner trying to sell his 2005 Fourwinds 23Ft rear corner bed like it was the only one ever made ! We came to an exceptable price for the both of us and I'm now the proud owner of rig that needs some TLC but in the long run it saved me $50K and when I'm done with another back surgery rehab and a little traveling , we'll save up and buy the one we really want..
Meanwhile I can clean this one up and enjoy a few short trips till the back surgery etc.
Well done Brian! You have the patience of Job and if finally paid off... so how about some pics?

- EMD360ExplorerGot home from our New Mexico tour just in time. Big snowstorm is coming this weekend. I was able to re-winterize the plumbing but didn't get the cover on--too windy. Hope the snow doesn't last too long. Had beautiful weather except for one day when we were touring Carlsbad Caverns and were underground anyway. But always nice to come home too.
- KristinUExplorerYesterday I sewed up some replacement cabover curtains as another step in our interior refresh. Today I went out to storage to exercise the genny and put the curtains up:
While I was out there I also added some storage pockets on the bed base: - TyroneandGladysExplorer

Went to storage lot and ran the genny with electric heater on. After half hour temperature only got to just above freezing. Geez I hate winter.
Oh well, there's light at the end of the tunnel, the days are getting noticeably longer.
Exercised ours the other day by running the air conditioner. - mikhenExplorerNot today but yesterday we got a new LED lightstrip.
