I've having a battle with a mouse in our 2012 Bighorn 3070RL, the first year I foamed the holes around the pipes under the kitchen sink and bathroom vanity, this year I pulled the pipe covering on,the compartment overhead, pipes going to washer/dryer connections front of FW, and stuffed steel wool in either side plugging up the openings.
Caught the stinker in a rat sticky trap last night. I had added some peanut butter and that did the trick. My guess is that he had taken residence in the heat register pipe or down in the belly of the FW. Further examination revealed that when you take the stairway drawer out it opens up into the underbelly of the trailer, probably the way he got in. I took the drawer out and covered the opening with 1/16 luan plywood that I stained to match the cabinet color. It will stay that way until we reach Florida, I don't think I can deal with my wife doing the eek - a mouse is in the trailer again. She spent the morning washing bedspread, vacuuming etc., can't blame her I don't like it either, I hope to do some work in Florida tightening up the undercarriage, but I think I might have it done. Layed down two new sticky traps.
