My sister has a 1997 or 1998 Coachmen Catalina, 30' Travel Trailer with no slideouts. it's a front kitchen setup. She leaves it all year in a small private permanant site campground, but the campground is only open from May 1 through Oct 1 every year. So, each fall she winterizes it, and covers it with a tarp.
Each spring when she comes back, she finds that mice have gotten into it. She lays out poison so they are dead, but they make a mess and it freaks her out.
I have a 1999 Jayco (same campground and circumstances) and I have not had a problem like that (knocking od wood every spring).
What are the obvious places where a mouse or mice could be getting in from? I'd like to try to seal it up for her next weekend.
Is there some way to pressurize the inside of the trailer with a colored gas of some sort and visibly find "holes" or "leaks" to the outside?
