Hello,
I am in the process of constructing a small camping trailer, built to withstand off road activity, being pulled by my 4x4. I am assemblinmg this myself and have no stated time limit, since both Cancer and a Heart attack. A fellow retiree stopped by today and informed me that for everyone of his vehicles here at 6,500 ft. in the Rockies he had to build a separate garage. He told me horror stories of vermin infestation that completely ruined motorhomes in two years. This was shocking to me. I have a 2 stall garage and temporary shelter for my vehicles. I am also remembering as I am writing, I have dealt with this issue for a sick neighbor whose engine compartment this winter got turned into an apartment complex for ground squirrels.
I am just starting all the electrical wiring for my trailer and it seems a massive project to me. Having all this effort screwed up in a short time forces me to write this letter on this site.
I would just as soon not place this trailer inside my garage during the winter, but will do so , if necessary. I have already decided to build a subfloor into my camper where the wires and propane lines will be contained. Has anyone else ever dealt with this infestation problem succesfully, and how was it done? I am certainly willing to take a day in the fall, just to winterize and protect this unit, once I complete it.
