unwanted guest & r.i.p.

Can someone please tell me how he/she came in? It is stored next to the house on the leveling jacks and it sits pretty high.

Note that we live in Fort Lauderdale where last two months has been averaging a thousand degrees with 99% humidity and I know where it came from, my backyard. Suicidal regardless, my dogs will kill m outside and inside the coach you will die of heat quickly...

That's a bad omen...

You may want to consult a witch doctor and have the evil spirits expelled from you rig. Finding a dead frog in your unit, well, I would speak of this no more.

Perhaps a lizard's leg, and a howlet's wing?

Appears to be de-hydrated/freeze dried.

Try adding water.

He thought he was joining FROG. seriously though, just look for unsealed area of your coach. Lots of area for critters to get in.

It's one of those nature's mysteries. I have not had any in the camper but they always manage to find there way into my boat which is stored on a asphalt pad with a full cover. Just about every trip one comes hooping out of a hatch....

Gee, they guy asked a serious question and those are the responses? The obvious answer to how it got into his RV is: it hopped.

We live in Orlando. Living in Lauderdale, I'm surprised this is your first encounter. Those little guys are like mice.....they can get in anywhere. We've even found them inside the gas cap on my wife's car. The slipped in there through the small crack where the fuel door meets the body. If I had to make a guess, based on where you found it, I would say to take a look at the threshold under your door. If you look straight down where the outer wall of the camper meets the floor at the sill, I'll bet you can see daylight below. That seems to be a FR trademark!

Maybe he was checking forest river quality and died of a heart attach because his name was attached.

uninvited guest

our rig shorted out and the tech was checking the converter box and proceeded to launch himself upward, from the floor. when he reached around the converter there was a dead rat snake that managed to get in and was the cause of frying our converter!!!! I promise u he will never blindly stick his hand in another one of them. Have also had widows web up in my back bumper from time to time
