I've talked to a few mice and most of them said they climb onto the waste tank, shinny up the vent pipe and then relax in the ceiling cavity where it's nice and warm with plenty of bedding. Not one of them has said anything about how they are driven out but I guess those trapped or poisoned aren't around to tell the tale.
x2 - vent pipe seems quite likely.
Best way to keep them out: Go through the trailer very thoroughly and seal every opening/gap that you can find with expanding foam ("Great Stuff"). Mine had some rather difficult to reach ones underneath the bathtub. You have to remove all false panels and doors marked "not for storage", get behind the furnace, water heater, crawl around underneath looking for more, etc... It can take a while but is well worth it.
BTW - do this when the mice aren't home, otherwise they'll just chew their way back out again, making a new hole. For some reason, they don't seem to bother with chewing through the spray foam to get back in.
