Playing with Your Campground Crew: A Murbles Match for All Ages
Worries
If you’ve spent any time RVing, you already know you’re not the only one who thinks your rig looks cozy. Warmth, shelter, and even the tiniest crumb of food can turn an RV into a five-star resort for rodents. Mice, pack rats, and even the occasional chipmunk will happily move in if you give them half a chance. We’ve had three different rigs over the years—a travel trailer, a motorhome, and now a fifth wheel—and in each one, we’ve had to learn (sometimes the hard way) how to deal with critters. Show me an RVer who hasn’t had a run-in with a mouse, and I’ll show you someone who probably hasn’t camped long enough yet! What’s funny is how different rodents can be depending on where you are in the country. In some areas, mice are shy and easy to catch. In others, like southern Utah, they’re bold and fearless—practically daring you to try and stop them. Pack rats in the desert can be destructive little nest-builders, while in the Midwest you might just be dealing with your run-of-the-mill house mouse looking for warmth in the winter. Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about keeping critters out (and sometimes getting them back out once they’re in!). Here’s our best advice for keeping your RV rodent-free—whether you’re putting it in storage or living in it full-time.

When you live in an RV, every pound matters. Between fuel efficiency, tow weight, and storage capacity, we’re always looking for ways to lighten the load without sacrificing comfort. Our shower was one of those overlooked places—until now. We recently swapped out our bulky glass shower door for the Stoett Nautilus Shower Door , and the difference has been nothing short of amazing!
