While I have been hanging out at Mom’s house, I think something moved into my coach. I see evidence of invasion in the form of tiny poop pellets and a gnawed up T-shirt. But my mousetraps don’t capture any perpetrators. My sister proclaims that I must have a squirrel loose in the RV. That is possible. I am parked under some huge oak trees that might provide easy access into the coach from the roof. I run to Mom’s and take a nap so that I will be awake between 1am and 4am. Due to high summer wireless traffic, predawn is the only time I can get on the internet here. A massive influx of summer visitors overwhelms the lone cell tower on this isolated peninsula at the lake making access tortuously slow during the day.
My brother in law insists that I need a catch and release trap for my guest. It is too late and too far to ride into town for a trap today. Instead I go to a local Dollar General and load up on mothballs and dryer sheets. I generously spread these items throughout the coach. Maybe they are enough to drive my unwanted guest(s?) away.
Looks like Steve has the right idea, just the wrong caliber. ;>)) I can’t help you on the heat thing, never had or saw one before but could probably figure it out after a couple of hours of being friendly with it. The wheel polishing tools need a cordless or regular drill if there is a plug in close to the coach. I need to do ours again too. Takes some time but sure worth it when they are shiny and bright. ;>) RV’s are kinda like airplanes, more your around them the more you learn. :>))) Hope you can catch the critter before he decides to take up permanent residents. Love ya kid, keep makin memories. GOD BLESS

Hahaha! I am sure that Storm FELT like trying that method a few times. Thank goodness I think the critter has abandoned ship. Thanks for the polishing tips!
Deb, This is a learning experience but I know you can handle any challenges! Matt will send you a message about polishing the wheels. He also says that if Charlie had solvents and chemicals with his tools they are probably important….or maybe he (like Matt) had trouble getting rid of stuff — “you never know, I might need that”. Wish we were there to help you! Good luck with the hydro hot and rodent issue!
Thanks – Matt’s note was helpful. I think you are right about the solvents – it was a little of both (might be important, might need someday.)
Mouse or Squirrel, either one is so destructive. You might just need to get a huge cat. 🙂 Hoping you get the Hydro Hot issue under control. We have the on demand water heater and I can’t say I like it. It’s more temperamental than a teenage girl, never know what will cause it to throw a fit. Wish I could offer more help. Thinking of you often
Hahaha! I am going to have to start a list of Ninaisms. I like that one about the teenage girl!!
Deb, you’ve always risen and met every challenge in front of you. Go get ’em! I love watching the how you handle all that you’re are embarking now! You are an inspiration!! (Danielle)
Thanks for the encouragement! As I am sure you know, there are a lot of ups and downs recovering from such a great loss. It helps to know that you are out there rooting for me!!
