I park my trailer next to my house and it's surrounded by trees and my wood shed and I've never had a mouse in my trailer.. :)

Here is a pic of it showing the wood shed at the rear and the trees around it. I'm standing on the roof of my house to take the pic.

And there is no brush or weeds under or around the trailer. It's very open. The mice have no where to conceal themselves from predators so they avoid the trailer. Mice want to stay hidden. They like brush and tall grass and barns. They are not prone to being in open areas.

We have a creek with a lot of brush and trees behind our lot. Lots of mice. In the shed, in the lawn and snow equipment. Our garage is attached and is about 60 feet from the back of the lot. We get mice in the garage. In the wall that adjoins the house.

We've parked our trailers next to the garage for almost 25 years. My dad's trailer is there also. We've never once had mice in them. And I believe it has to do with what I said above about having the trailer in a place that's open and makes them vulnerable.

Yeah, I see trailers parked in fields and even RV storage lots where it's all grass under and they must have rodents all over the place... Guess I've just been lucky.. Before I started putting out the traps/poison, I would be able to kill them with my pellet gun just sitting out on my back porch.. While that was "fun", it was not efficient...
