insects
we bought a used RV and have started traveling. We have noticed **** roaches, not big ones, but they are there just the same. We have cleaned inside and out really good and sprayed numerous times, but...

There are so many places for them to hide, you need to attack this from many fronts. I have successfully rid one of our previous TTs from roaches, here is what I did.
Find those hard to reach places:
Under the shower tub
Under the sink
The furnace plenum
Under the refridgerator
Do the bottoms of your cabinets have a floorpan that can be removed?
Plan a time where you will not use the unit for about two weeks.
Remove all of the drawers, linens, dishes, silverware, food, and open the spaces I mentioned above if possible. Turn off the propane (all pilots out) and disconnect the electrical. Shut all of the vents and windows.
Set off 2 or so of the roach bombs (the aerosol kind, we used Hot Shot) inside the unit. If you have any large external compartments, toss one in there also. Vacate and close. Wait a week. There will be dead critters all over when you reopen. I followed up by putting bait paste under the compartments before replacing them.
Wipe and clean everything thoroughly afterward.
This worked for me.
