Well I had a similar problem, and I want to share with you my solution to keeping mice and squirrels out of your favorite thing on wheels.
I moved into lethal forms, and set rat traps in strategic positions around the coach. But he avoided these, and proceeded to chew a fist-sized hole through the comforter on the queen bed. The memory foam topper fell victim, too. more
Although I still found some evidence of mice, for the most part my stored RV was rodent free. [links]
Type “do-it yourself pest control" into an online search engine and you're going to come back with more than one million results. (Literally. We checked.) However, finding a lot of hits on your search doesn't necessarily mean that these methods will work.
Tips for Pest-Proofing Your Home [links]
While it’s common to store items in plastic containers to help keep pests from getting in, if a rat wants what’s in your storage container, it will likely find a way to get in regardless of the material. This is why it’s important to strategically use rodent control methods, like traps and baits, where you store important items. You should also consider having your attic sealed to exclude rodents from getting in there, as that is where many people store things.
Cockroaches aren't just unsettling — they're unsanitary. These common household pests often live in or near sewers, drains and garbage, bringing them into contact with a variety of germs, and they're known to carry pathogens that may cause disease. Needless to say, they're unwelcome visitors in any home.

You can apply these items to areas where mice might be hanging out: think places close to the ground (like that seam between the kitchen floor and the cabinets we were talking about), or even inside the cabinets themselves. After all, that’s where all the food smells are. You can also put in mouse traps just to make sure all your bases are thoroughly covered… but do keep in mind that if there are any mice and they get stuck in the traps, you’re going to find them there when you come back to your RV to get ready for your next trip. here
While still not totally cruelty-free, traps are a way to control mice, rats, and pest rodents without introducing a toxin into your home (or, in this case, home on wheels). There are a variety of different types of mousetraps available on the market.
Once you’ve gotten rid of all these food items and done a thorough cleaning of any remnants — i.e., droppings — the mice have left behind, it’s time to get serious about doing away with the horde. There are both natural and less-than-natural ways to combat pest rodents. here
In short: no matter how much of an animal lover you are, you really, really don’t want mice to live in your RV with you. We promise. (At least if they’re not in a cage.)
Critters hate the smell of Naphthalene, so a good solution is to put a handful of mothballs in an old margarine container, use a pencil to punch holes in the container. Place several on your boat, under the tarp. Depending on the size of your boat, place containers in your cabins, one on the deck and one in the center of the cockpit and in some cases one in your engine compartment. here
Question:
During the winter, I keep my boat covered with a tarp, on a trailer. Last winter mice got on my boat and ate the insulation on the wires and chewed on some of the vinyl cushions. My Insurance Company does not cover this and it was expensive to get my boat rewired and the seats replaced. How do I keep these critters off my boat?
The slight smell you get in the spring will vanish in a day or two after you remove the tarp. here
Answer:
Mice and other vermin love to chew on vinyl and most Insurance Policies don’t cover this type of damage.
I’ve been using this system for years with great success. Vermin were invading my neighbors boats but leaving mine alone.
