Ants and similar pests in any RV.
I can't stress enough that keeping your floors clean of any kind of food matter is imperative. My mother came from Arizona to my place here in the NW. We have seen all time record breaking temps here ...

parking in the grass is a nightmare. This always attraced ants to mine, no matter how clean. They were not scavenging for food. Sometimes they are attracted to the DC electricity.
The biggest problem I had was the ants would crawl into the engine relay switches, and pack in as many of their friends as could fit, they would then corrode the relay with their watery dead bodies or they would get stuck between the contacts and render the relay useless. I was able to clean some, but replacing them at $10-20 each became too much, so I moved to a pay lot and saved money on relays.
This is just one ant story.
Stay off the grass or use a lot of anti-ant stuff around the tires.
