Regarding your question about food - cans left in the trailer. I leave over the counter meds, bathroom is equipped minus the electric shaver; a complete first aide kit with various AB creams in the trailer at all times.
Regarding the galley, we live in a rural Redwood tree area whereby I do not want to attract mice. So I keep a small amount of flour, sugar, teas in sealed plastic containers. I also keep oils, vinegars in the trailer at all times. I change out these items every Jan.
Regarding canned goods, unfortunately I do not leave canned items, I pack the tuna, soup, chili when we go depending on the menu I have planned.
I have encountered mice twice in 10 years. The first time we were camping in eastern CA and brought home the little devil...and one mouse here at home ate the plastic top to the instant coffee (he did not make a home in our TT). Hope this helps.
