I have no idea. I caught 2 in a/c ducts.

How did they live among all that insulation?

Ugh. What a pain!

What about Leaf blower and shop vac?

Is it really necessary to remove the roof. Wonder if it would hurt to let it go.

1. If you want the ceiling cavity completely devoid of the rodent debris. the ONLY best way to do that is to remove the roof on top. Remove the plywood decking on top and clean out and disinfect. Replace any insulation and redeck and replace the EPDM/TPO.
2. Going from the INSIDE will be a nightmare. Trying to cut out all the ceiling panels and then cleaning and then cutting NEW ceiling panels to fit going around cabinets and such is much more difficult than option 1 above.
3. IF you have full coverage insurance, they will pay for option 1. AS long as the cost does not exceed the 80% value of your RV. Doug

Not many options. Mice are prolific poopers. I think I'd access from above rather than below.

X2. Unless, you need a new roof... Then you can strip off the old roof and underlayment and go in from that way... We had a customer with the same issue, and mice got into the duct work and had babies, had to replace entire duct work. And all the insulation, you would be surprised how much feces etc.. Was up there. You dont want mouse dropping being blown all over the rig when the AC is on.... His damage was covered under his insurance policy even though his roof was fine.
