Mouse poo in shower?

Cleaning up for trip this weekend and found a few spots where mice got in. The weirdest is the shower floor. Solid doors were shut...drain cap was out of drain? There was still anti freeze in the drain trap.
Too late to hook up a hose and run some water but I am worried the little buggers chewed through a pipe and or tank.
I'll see tomorrow evening I guess.
Any ideas how else they may have gotten in and out?

    Gee. I give the job of mouse proofing to my traveling companion Alex. Now Alex would just love some mice to play with but for some reason they avoid him. He says Come and play then We shall dine. THey hear Mouse pate for cat's dinner
    He says Why do you run so fast and far They don't wish to be served Tartar.

    Oh ALex says MEOW.
  • Lie down on your back under your RV with a spray can of foam and fill any holes you find with foam. If the holes are large you could stuff some steel wool into the hole first. I did this years ago and haven't had a mouse since. One thing I missed at first was the opening that the power cord enters the MH. I now have a metal plate that closes the hole when we are plugged in.

    You don't say what your RV is, knowing that might help.
  • I am always puzzled to hear about rodents getting into an RV. How does that happen? I have a truck camper so I can readily inspect the RV when it is off the truck. The body is sealed and covered with either plastic sheating or metal. Windows and compartment doors all have tight fitting gaskets. I am not sure how even an ant could center the RV.

    Did the campground charge extra for the rat :@
  • Look at it this way:

    You have a clean mouse, them suckers can get in through the smallest holes, check everyware and use a mirror and a lamp to check behind everything and make sure there are no loose panels, the bathroom door is a good place for them to crawl under, do not under estimate them, they are awsome little buggers.

  • Maybe check behind the toilet where the water lines come in? I have a fairly good size opening which I need to close off with something.
