Don't use the mothballs! Our friends tried that in their 5er and could hardly stand to be inside of it for weeks after removing them.

I've used a product called "Mouse Magic" for years . . . successfully. I toss four little packets in different areas of the trailer. Trailer smells great . . . peppermint!

We use the oil of peppermint and also play a cheap radio 24/7. Rodents don't like the noise. Be sure to run an extension cord with a 30 or 50/110 conversion line to keep the coach batteries from draining.

Bounce works for us
Had a pop-up for 17 years, hybrid for 6, and now a 31 ft travel trailer. Have used Bounce for all three and have never had a bug or rodent problem. The pop-up was parked beside an unkept empty acre lot where we frequently saw field mice in, but never had a problem with them in the pop-up.

30 years of owning pop-ups and TT's and never a mouse (just using bounce or nothing at all.). Then last winter Mice, early this fall mice in traps every trip to the cg. Fresh Cab and pest-chasers 3 week in not a sign of any mice.

No Mice here
I have always just used Bounce Sheets scattered around my camper and no mice. Just be sure you get the Bounce Brand. I know people who have tried a cheaper brand to save a buck and ended up with mice. It's well worth the extra pennies Bounce cost,

Bounce fabric softener sheets. Rodents hate them. We place them in cabinets, furniture and in the under storage area , paying attention to where water and electrical enter the camper from underneath. Leaves a lasting scent, but not as strong as moth balls.

+1 0n the Fresh Cab. I spread them around as I close up for the winter, and pick and pick up last years. Non toxic for all our furry kids and others and makes the home smell fresh all year round. I do not seal all openings, some of those are needed to let water drain out that accumulates.

buy a box of Fresh cab for the pine lemon citrus fresh scent that lasts 90 days and then replace.
bounce sheets some say work... my buddy found out they are not that effective. he just caught 13 mice on his 2015 trailer in the past month. bounced the sheets out and installed fresh cab X 3 packages.
