In case you want to close up the holes around the slide tubes like Keith mentioned, here is a pic of what I did. This is real heavy----#60 grit sandpaper, and it's pretty stiff and hard.I slit it so it would go over the tube then used a glue/cement  that will adhere to just about any thing. couple pop rivets to hold it in place till glue sets up.

I had this problem 2 years ago. What I found our was in the back by the bumper there was 4-4inch dia holes so I used furnace tape on the inside and outside as I had the under belly down. They made a mess under there as well as the inside of the camper. I had dryer sheets in there also. DID NOT WORK. So this year I had no trouble. I also caulked everywhere with black RTV sealer. Hope this helps. As they use the same cross member from front to back on the trailers for sewer pipes and electrical wire.

Purchased supplies and am ready to begin plugging holes, seams, rifts & etc in the trailer.  Did a little reading and wondering if any one has used any of the following as deterrents...

Tin Cat, an effective trap http://www.amazon.com/Victor-M310-Live-Mouse-Trap/dp/tech-data/B00004RAMU.  I guess the trapped mice act as bait and they cannibalize each other.

Peppermint Oil on cotton balls - claimed to be an effective detrrent


Apparently only USED kitty litter or snake poop works, though I have my doubts about both.

I intend to rodent proof the trailer as much as possible but wondering if any one has had success with some sort of deterrent.

I have used Cab Fresh for years inside my Spa outside, and can tell you that it works great. I have never had mice in my spa anywheres. Here is a link to it the company that handles it: http://www.earthkindstore.com/servlet/the-5/mouse,rat,rodent,repellent,repellant,how-to-get-rid/Detail
I havent used them inside my TT as I havent had a mouse problem, I plugged all the holes last year when I had the underbelly off.

Hmmm.  Replace every 100 days.  Place 1 bag every 8 sq ft.  Cost $37.50 for 12 bags.   I'd have to shovel a path through who knows how much snow to get to the trailer in the middle of winter to replace bags.  Glad to hear the product works but it seems to have a few disadvantages.
