5 years ago we did a trip to SW Virginia in our the fifth wheel we owned at the time. Parked at a single KOA for 7 days and we were occupying it. In that short time found three rodent nests under construction, one in the basement storage, one in the generator compartment, and one actually nestled in the generator between the engine and alternator section.

No sense in baiting the field as it were...........
