We bought our first travel trailer (new) in the month of April. We took it home and did some modifications and cleaning,then took it to a storage facility and parked it. The next week we picked up the trailer for our first trip and noticed a lot of bird droppings all over the roof and sides. Saw sticks, grass, twigs sticking out from the A/C shroud. Took the cover (Dometic) off and the entire squirrel cage blower was full of nesting materials. Took the wife and I a good 30 minutes to remove the nests. To solve the problem we bought the refrigerator stainless steel screens and ty-wraped the screens in place, bending the long ones to match the contours of the unit. They were expensive compared to an at home fix, but solved our problem quickly and we were on our way camping. P.S. we did get around to installing flying insect screens on all the openings.....setting under our TT awning one day this year saw a wasp fly into the ground hole of the outside 120 volt outlet we were using. After about ten seconds he backed out and went to making a paper nest on the awning. They sure are a TT's best source of housing. Happy camping all.
