I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I need some advice on mice.
I have a 2012 272RK Outback. I've never really had issues with mice before. The only time in the past was two or three years ago when we had a tire blowout and it ripped a hole in the floor of the camper. During the time it was in for repair a mouse found its way in, made a nest and had some babies. We discovered them and eliminated them and all was good. Now, we're getting mice every week.
I've spent day's scouring every inch of this camper, both inside and out. I found a single hole under the slide where the plastic corrugate underbelly and frame come together. I could tell that they chewed a mouse sized hole and I plugged it with steal wool. Other than that, I didn't find any other hole where they might be getting in.
Inside I plugged up all holes that I could find. Under the sink, behind the electrical panel, water pump, anywhere that had tubes or electrical coming out of the floor. I found spaces where the rubber for slide kinda all met and plugged them up with steel wool. I don't see anywhere on the inside where the chewed holes to get into the living space of the camper.
Here I thought I finally had a mouse free camper, opened the door yesterday to check and damn if there wasn't a dead mouse in a trap.
The thing is.... I need to get out of town and get to my happy place and recharge my batteries. I can't do that if I can't have a mouse free camper. Any suggestions on where to look for more holes? Or how to keep these pests out?
Thanks
