First off...my motorhome is kept outside. (All of the RVs I've owned have been kept outdoors all year.) For me...the cheapo wood "snap traps" does the job. A dab of peanut butter. I have 12 all around the inside and outside. I get around 5 mice per winter. Outside, I have 2 in the generator area (that is where i get most of them) and one in the plumbing area. The rest are inside.
One year I had a real smart one. Got the peanut butter off two traps without springing them.....but the third one got him. Only once did they get past all the traps...found a nest under the couch.
When not snowbirding, I go and start the motor and the generator once every two weeks. Let them both run for about 1/2 hour. If I didn't do that I guess I would remove the (3) batteries and put them in my garage. However...I figure I might need the motorhome unexpectedly...y'never know. So...that works for us.
