Nice job! That thing looks pretty old Chris. Probably made better than the new ones today.

Looks good Randy! I have never believed the hype about dryer sheets. I do believe in traps though! I wonder where they stashed the Decon? Those dang mice usually hide a bunch of it somewhere. Keep looking and good luck!

Thanks Cory... They maybe changed the recipe in the dryer sheets.. I found where they were stashing a lot of it (besides their little vermin tummies) ...
In the basement I had some camping chairs inside their bags.. One of them had about a box of Decon stashed there and a nest made of Insulation that probably came from the water heater.. I have to take a compartment apart to get at that..

Looks like I will need to service the Landing Gear too... Getting some skipping and binding out of it... I posted a thread down in the FTE Trailer towing section on that..

You are probably using the wrong kind of dryer sheets! haha All I have ever done for the past 10 yrs is put four trays of d-con on the ground around the camper and empty two boxes of dryer sheets throughout the camper and side boxes and I have never had a mouse in the camper.

My landing gear was skipping and binding a couple years ago. It turned out to be a bolt that runs through the shaft that runs from the motor to the other side of the camper. The nut had backed off and the bolt was only half way through the shaft. Replaced the bolt and nut and been good to go ever since. Not sure if that is your problem but worth a check.

Well I am glad you have the tougher mice down there! You can keep them there with you.

Or we just haven't had mice, and it has nothing to do with the sheets...

That could be it too! Lol All I know is when I open the door to the camper after sitting all winter closed up it sure smells nice in there!

I think either Downy or Snuggle brand is what I have used the last couple of years.
