rodents
hi- wacnstac has it right, the frame rails are a perfect entry tube for small rodents to the cavity between your trailer floor and the belly pan, and, at least in my '72, there are then other access holes that lead to the plumbing area under the sink, and now they are in your trailer. !st thing to do is get something to plug up the entranceway, underneath, just rear of the hitch-ball socket on the tongue. Maybe some tightly wadded fiberglass, metal screen, etc. Then look for other access points to the belly-pan cavity and do the same. You MAY have mice living in that cavity, using the fiberglass insulation as a nice warm nest- I did. Set a trap or 2 down in that plumbing recess, if you have one, to see. Then get some screen from the hardware store and replace the chewed one. You're relatively lucky- the PO of my rig said the door was left open for a while and raccoons moved in- and the shredded curtains led me to believe that. -tim
