If you've never had a mouse problem using dryer sheets you've been lucky.
Reports here and the other forums document mice use dryer sheets to make nice warm beds and as potty pads. The only reason they don't poop on moth balls is they can't get their little bottoms up on top of them so they just poop next to them.
A jackalope however will keep mice out of your camper all year. This one has lived in my campers for 15 years and I've never seen any mice (or their markings) in them. This scientific data is as better than the mothball/dryer sheet science based on the first paragraph evidence. No one with a jackalope has ever had a mouse problem. Here's my Jacky ready to pounce if necessary.

If you're not lucky enough to adopt a jackalope: Get rid of all food. Don't store the camper in mouse infested areas. Fill all under trailer openings with bronze wool (steel wool will be dust by spring, it rusts).
