My rv trailer sets in a covered shed next to the tractor shed next to my hay meadow. Always lots of field rats and mice.
1. I close/seal all/any tiny points of entry into the trailer.
2. I use Tom Kat bait stations and block baits in both sheds. You have to place bait blocks where coons/'posum can get to them. They do climb.
3. I keep one mouse trap just inside the trailers door baited with peanut butter. Maybe 1-2 caught in the trap per year.
Never botherd with mouse issues.

I don't understand. If you can find the openings that let in mice, why use steel wool to plug the holes. I would think a permanent seal would be better.

You’re being way to logical. My trailer is sealed with exterior grade expanding foam. Works for me, other’s situation may vary.
