If they are the orange ones they are called "Chinese Lady Beetles" and they are not native to our hemisphere. They are a pest and can be very, very, terrible. The only thing that kills them is a product called "Tempo" you mix the Tempo in with water , a few ounces does the trick, and then you spray it on the outside of things with a garden sprayer to kill them before they enter the structure. Test it out on your camper somewhere to make sure it doesn't discolor it but, it didn't harm the windows or siding on my house.
I'm sorry, as has been pointed out there called "Asian Lady Bugs". Not Chinese lady bugs as I said. I apologize. If that is what they are there not good for anything. I still say get the Tempo bug killer and spray the outside of your camper.
They have not been so bad the last couple of years but they used to get into my house by the 1000's and I'm not kidding. They left there trails behind and wrecked all my interior paint. They also stink. The Tempo also killed the flies that infest my house every fall. I recently bought some replacement Tempo and spray my house every fall to keep the flies from coming in when the temps start to lower.
