Mice

[Ruthe]

So here's the update on our first winter storing our trailer in a garage upstate and using Fresh Cab -- Absolutely no sign of mice -- Now I'm dealing with the strong smell of balsam which has gotten into everything, including the mattress. I had taken the seat cushions, etc., out and most fabric, but couldn't do anything about the mattress. Anyway, we're running the AC and the maxi fan and opened the windows.

I'm not sure I want to do this again. The trailer was safe and sound from the elements, but having it be 5 hours away is a pain. Actually having it be anywhere but in our driveway in NJ would be a pain -- I liked having it in my driveway in NJ and being able to clean slowly and load slowly. But last year our driveway was bordered by tall trees with branches that overhung it and it was very narrow and also 6 feet from our neighbor's house.

Now it's different. The trees were taken down (they were practically dead) and the driveway is two feet wider and even though backing it into our driveway on our busy street is a little scary (sometimes I literally have to stop traffic to do it) I think I'm ready to bring it back home at the end of the summer. I just have to convince Terry it's a good idea.

I put a packet of Fresh Cab under the dinette seat that stores the power cord, as that is the entry point. I put another one in the storage area under the bed in case I accidentally leave the outside storage hatch open when camping. The smell stays contained within those spaces and I haven't noticed any signs of mice or other vermin.
