I and my neighbor, who is selling me my Northstar, are preparing the camper for storage for the winter. Newbie to this and looking for some back up. I know how to winterize the water systems, and will be pulling the battery for upkeep over the winter. I winterize a boat also so I know that much. I also plan on pulling all the seat cushions and the mattress and storing those in our garage attic. And of course scour the unit to remove all traces of food. Will also through some dryer sheets in there, because that is what the boat people do to keep things fresh and help ward off mice. As the camper will be outside and get snow. We (neighbor and I) will be raking our respective RV's over the winter to keep snow load low. I will probably tarp it just because. It is a very dry climate here in Idaho. We do not experience condensation much. We do experience sun damage.
My question is have any of you had any problems with mice, skunks, etc? We do have skunks in our area, and they can come under our deck sometimes, and seem to hang out under an old wooden shed in the area, near enough to where the camper will be. The camper will be on a wooden dolly, and have it's legs down for stability.
do you guys set traps for mice or anything? Throw mothballs in there? Or am I overthinking because I am a newby?
