Dead mouse smell - YUCK!

Have a dead mouse smell in our motorhome. I can identify the general area by smell. I have pulled all the drawers, cleared out cabinets, even bought an endoscope to check out areas I couldn't access. Think the smell is coming from a sub floor area with no access.

Does anyone know a product that will help kill/absorb the odor?

HELP!!

I also had a dead mouse in rv. Was located in stove between the outer and inner walls of the stove. Removed stove from mounting and removed. First noticed the smell when wife started to bake cookies!

"Mouse? Don't know, but I'm sure the bones will show up during some repair sometime." :B
I thought when I retired my Hobby would be RVing.
I was wrong, my Hobby apparently is Finding and stopping leaks.

x2 on time. My smell took about 10 days to go away. I had to unwire my co/propane detector since the smell was setting it off continuously.

Make sure you don't have a gas leak, I spent days looking for a dead mouse and discovered the pilot light for the oven was on but not lit. It smelled so much like dead mouse.

I had good results using coffee grounds (dry/unused) on my boat. Worked great on bilge and holding tank odors. Especially nice if you like the aroma of coffee. Also baking soda might work.
