My recently acquired
1968 Caravel appears to have hosted some unwanted guests at some point. I scrubbed it out with a bleach and water solution then with Lysol disinfectant. I have placed an "Odor Sponge" inside for the winter months to see if it removes any residual odor from the trailer.
To be honest the problem was not very severe and I doubt that there will be any lingering evidence. I did not find any nests or other indication that these "souvenirs" were left by any more than casual guests.
The problem is that mouse piss is very corrosive. Somehow (?) they got in between the screen window and the glass which was evident by the corrosion found on the aluminum frame.
I am wondering what others have done to try to eliminate the "eau de Mouse-o-Line" when they encountered it and I am thinking that a thread detailing their experiences and successes dealing with this anomoly might be beneficial for those in the future who may encounter this problem. There is a thread on another board that discusses mice chewing electrical wiring and consequences of this activity:

Bad stuff.
