Common entry points for mice in class c?

We had mice visitors while traveling in our class during last fall in the Wild West and recently while parked in our driveway (both easily dispatched by spring traps).

What are common entry points? Hubby did a quick look under and he didn't spy any spots. I am thinking he doesn't know what he is looking for...lol!

So shortly we are both crawling under to have a look...any suggestions? This is a class C. We want to grab some spray foam, some steel wool and seal them up tight or eternabond scraps/double sided.

My visitors moved the oil soaked balls. RV smelled nice, though.

I had tons of visitors last winter. Used the light method--nada. Found spot inside and located the probable area outside. It was not a direct route. Bends and curves blocked light. Use a vacuum with the air blowing out. Feel for the air coming out. Go to a local small hardware store and ask if they had some screen scrap pieces. My local store had tons of the stuff. Wad it up and jam it in every possible nook and cranny. You might get lucky.

Go out at night and turn on the lights inside your MH.

THEN crawl underneath and hang on to your hat when you see just how MANY openings where the light shines thru there are.

Each and every hole the manufacturer has to drill for water pipes, electrical etc are drilled larger than needed and NEVER filled in. :C

Pick up a can of GREAT STUFF light expansion to fill holes.

Donn beat me to it ..... Any place you can stick your finger is large enough for a mouse.

Holding tanks, vent stacks going through the rig to the roof.
propane lines into rig.
Wiring into rig.

I'm more familiar with TT but they are similar I'm sure.
Go under it with a flashlight and look for any place they can get in and spray foam it then go inside and look in every cabinet, under the bed, around the dashboard area.

Some of this may be done at night with a flashlight and 2 people. Look under dash when shining the light under the hood. Shine under the rig and watch inside.
