Wife and I went and checked on the 5th wheel at the storage lot yesterday. No mice!!!! And no sign of any intrusion.

I spent a lot of time trying to stop them from getting in the 5er. We have had some every year for the last 4 years. I have sealed every possible entry I could see. Still had mice. This year I looked again under the 5er. Only possible place I could see was through the fresh air hose for the furnace. I had covered it with a wire mesh but I guess it wasn't fine enough. I removed the hose and covered the hole through the floor with a piece of plywood. No mice, yea!!!

We are going to Branson for 4 nights after Christmas. I was dreading the thought of having to clean the 5er of mouse droppings. Looks like I won't have to do it. Life is good. LOL

That's great! We had the pleasure of getting rats into our fiver at the time several years ago and I'm sure you can imagine how nasty that was. :M. We need to go check our fiver but it should be ok because the underbelly is much better sealed and it is in indoor storage.

I use about 30 bounce fabric softner's throughout the RV. In drawers, storage compartments, under sinks and zero mice. Also makes the rv smell nice.

We also keep the little boxes of mouse bait in several places, and check them regular for signs of activity.

I am not endorsing them, but we have several of the plug-in electric mouse repellers that we leave plugged in while the rig is stored at home with 110v power connected. Like I said I am not endorsing, but haven't had any mouse problems. Nor Elephants.

That is nice that you found no "visitors", especially since you have had a history with them.Enjoy your trip. Safe Travels!
