Well I worked on this yesterday, it was in the 50s so they weren't moving very fast, took me a little bit to even find them. The shop vac method worked well enough, but they have a very tight grip, took quite a bit to suck them up. I took everything apart that I could think of and never did find a nest.
I did find about 10 dead on the floor in the camper, and only found 3 lives ones. Then I turned the furnace on and got it as hot as I could in there, that got them moving, probably got 10 more lives ones. I've checked several times since and I'm hoping I got them all.
Still don't know how they got in, I'm hoping maybe they just flew in the door when it was open at some point, maybe laid eggs?
Would RV antifreeze attract them? I did have a little bit of antifreeze in my tub that didn't drain because it isn't sitting quite level.
Not sure what kind they were either, here is a picture.
