Mice in Jayco style camper trailers

[rotare]

Hey guys,

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I did do a search of the forum but didn't get the answer to my specific query, which is.  For the Jayco style of camper trailers (like the Dove, Swans etc) are these types of camper trailer mouse proof when set up?  What about when they are packed away?

The reason I ask is that I have a block of land with a shed located in a rural area, and find evidence that mice have entered the shed quite often.  I was wondering if I set up a Jayco style camper trailer in the shed (so I can use the shed as a weekender) would it become a nice home for mice, then considered whether I'd be better off packing it away each time after use, but then wondered it the mice will still find a way into the camper trailer anyways?

Thanking in advance for any replies.

Cheers.

Reckon if it were me I'd be setting the camper up in the shed  on greased metal blocks/ stands, sat in a tray of oil with an ant type cap on top,  between the jocky wheel / wheels / support legs and the blocks..
 Also to stop dust / dirt bird droppings etc build up all over the tent section I'd be packing the camper up each time ..and leave it so as its isolated from the ground by the oil bath stands .. that way you shouldnt get infestations of mice, bug or ants making the camper home while your away .

A beg to differ.

Throw a black or brown snake in the camper.

No more mice problem

i'd try a carpet snake in instead, lord knows I'd forget I'd thrown the others in there at some stage

A couple of years ago on a trip from Port Stephens across to Port Augusta, then up through the centre to Alice, across the West MacDonnell Ranges, Kings Canyon, Uluru, then back home, we encountered the big mouse plague. We had a soft floor camper, and found the only place the buggers could get in was through the holes where the tent dropped down beside the trailer, at the frame hinges. The best thing we found to stop the buggers getting in was to stuff staino pot scrubbers in the holes. This plague was almost all the way on that trip from across Western NSW, VIC/SA corner and through all the way out west. They were crawling over and under the tent from as soon as the sun started to go down till it came up the next morning. Saw a couple of people that had wiring chewed up under the bonnet, so we left our bonnet up over night and luckily had no problems.
