Bedbugs!
I just recently completed the purchase of a used RV. Everything looked good and in working order, and it seemed like a great deal. Until I tried to sleep in it. Bedbugs! No returns! No exceptions! ...

Do it yourself. A motor home ought to be pretty easy to fumigate.

I'm a bit unclear on where to find the supplies for self-fumigation. Specifically, what chemical to use and where I would find it, as well as where to find a fumigation tent this small.
Edit: Unfortunately, the most effective fumigation agent for bed bugs (vikane) cannot be purchased privately.enblethen wrote:
Try using a flea bomb!
Make sure all propane and pilot lights are off including DSI systems. Best to disconnect shore power and batteries!
I've read that those are a sham and they can't penetrate the carpet or crevices in the RV effectively, leaving the majority of bedbugs alive and hiding.
Gads! ..:R
A tent???
No need to "tent". Close the windows and vents = "tented".
Forget what you "read" - and get with the program!..:S
Read the Wiki link posted by "smkettner".
Find out if bug bombs work or not - yourself.
Probably less than $20...:R
Available at local hardware stores, etc.
Back to "real" fumigation......
Plan A. Call a fumigation company - ask where they are doing one.
Ask if you brought your RV to the job location, they would tent and fumigate it "on site".
Plan B. Usually the fumigation "crews" are independents who contract to the brand name companies.
Watch for a truck & crew and ask if they would do the above.
(Ability to speak at least High School Spanish will help)..;)
Get as busy "doing" - as you are keyboarding, ROTFL.
