Living in Northern Indiana snakes are not much of a problem. However, my DW was reading about snakes getting into many unusual places including RVs.We are taking a trip out west where snake live and play, so I was wondering if you folks in snake country take any extra precautions. It sounds silly but you never know unless you ask.

DW's worry about the strangest things don't they.We have kept our RV in the deserts of Southern California, Arizona and Nevada off an on for 40 years. The times we've seen snakes, they were no where near the RV.That being said, I would like to watch a snake try to climb up to get into to our 5th wheel. The lowest part of the frame is 18 inches off of the ground.I got a visual picture in my mind of a snake calling over to his buddy...."Hey SSSteve, give me a boossst".

We once gave a tarantula a ride. We made an interesting stop along the highway to encourage him to find another ride.Tarantula does not taste like chicken!:E

I saw a John Wayne western movie once when he found a snake in his bed roll. To this day, I still check my bed before night time!

Crawl around under most rv's or look around the storage compartments and basements. People talk about mice getting in. There are spots that are big enough for squirrels to get in. Spray foam and fiberglass insulation. Tight baby, TIGHT!

now that the guy who said it would be hard for a snake to try to get into a 5th wheel that is 18 inches off the ground is something I would have to argue with you on. while fishing on the snake river in Idaho we had a rattle snake come right over the side of the boat and it was at least two feet out of water. snakes came do some weird things and so do we. trying to shoot that snake in a boat is some thing you don't want to do. we used a boat oar. they will go where ever they want to go. don't under estimate them. I have seen guys in Az with guns on their hips with shot in the chambers just in case they run into a snake trying to do something stupid.
