There are animal(and human) bug sprays that you could use to treat the inside of you RV. Ants found a way to get in perhaps power cord, dump hose, cable/sat connection. Taking care of them outside is best.

Raid. Redose if necessary. Then move on with life.
Ants are part and parcel of life.

You may have more than an ant problem. Ants like wet wood. Check if you have any leaks from inside/outside.

Terro has worked great for us for everything EXCEPT carpenter ants.
I read they only go after sweet things during a certain times so baits don't always work well with them. It's also why they don't always seem to go after food like other ants.
Other ants Terro will wipe them out in 24hrs, it's like magic.
Carpenter ants I've always had to kill the old fashion way, with windex or bug spray.

Well, I went in again today and notice two on the linoleum floor. Nothing but dead ones in the water tank storage area. I put 4 Terro baits out. They do have big enough openings for these ants. I hope they work. If not, I will have to try something else.

I xant see from the pictures but big black ants are carpenter ants. They need stronger stuff to kill then the ant bait traps. They do have granular aint bait to kill them, also spray the whole thing inside and out with like ortho home defense. As stated they nest in wet wood. And can do some damage to wood.

X2 on the Terro Liquid ant baits which has always worked for us either at home or on the rv. Since the bait is food there will be a larger number of the critters shortly after the packages are set around but in a day or to they will be gone.
