Keeping mice out.

You don't have to do all that work. This is the voice of experience, here, through 2 summers and winters being parked in a lot where mice had previously nested in cars and chewed through wood siding. Won't go into more detail now because nobody seems to listen to me, but if you want it, just ask.

I would never, ever be without these. Someone else on one of these forums recommended them and THEY WORK. Not sometimes, not maybe, but always, and absolutely.

That's where I found they were getting into our TT after the first winter. utility lines and just plain missed holes that were missed from when the trailer was put together. I patched with silicone and plywood, haven't had a problem since.

Get a good cat, believe me they keep the rodent population under control

When I lived in AZ the problem was pack rats. I think I kept them at bay with light. You can get a length of LED rope light and string it around underneath your RV. It won't cost much to run and it just might help.

I have always used whole cloves in my cottage and RV purchased at the bulk barn. Put clumps of these around and I have never had a mouse problem. In the spring I collect them all and put them in my shed. Use new every year. It works!

You're on the right track. They can be kept out by diligent hole-filling. Search out all wiring and piping entries underneath. Spray foam them if you can. Side wall holes shouldn't be a problem unless there is a way for them to climb to the hole. A power cord is obviously a way for them to climb.

Don't forget that steel wool rusts. So if it is exposed to the weather, you'll have a problem. I think there is stainless wool?

I got some scraps of galvanized tin (you could use aluminum too) and cut inserts and covers for things like the power cord hatch so I could use the cord but not have any opening for mice.
