Default Uncovering the trailer tomorrow

I'm back in Michigan for the summer and tomorrow I take the cover off the trailer. Hope the winter wasn't too hard on her.

Default Mouse in the House

'm starting to think it was even too cold outside for them, because when I opened my trailer, not a sign of rodents in site! I looked everywhere and not a "dropping", chew mark or nest. Inside my 100+ year old house is another story!
Good luck!

"Fresh Cab" packets ( https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pr...epellant-10-oz ) will keep rodents out of your camper. They are available at most farm & home stores and here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fresh-Cab...llent/47658546 along with many other retailers.

I'm happy to report that my FunFinder survived the winter without any damage. Tomorrow I will reinstall the battery, plug it in and check all the circuits.

Well everything is working except a small green external LED indicator light I added to alert me that the main power switch is on. Funny that these LEDs are suppose to out live me and I seem to be replacing them as often as incandescent bulbs. LOL. Anyway, got a bunch of extra LED indicators so I guess the new one will be red.

LED's that quit working is no surprise.
I had to replace one rear tail/brake light 'cause 1/2 the LED's were out.
Also on a vehicle, block of 4 LED's and one didn't function. Had to buy the whole block of 4 as only way could replace it.

BTW, for those that like a visual que that your power switch is on, I highly recommend adding an external LED indicator. Mine is just outside the pass thru storage compartment.

We didn’t cover our fifth wheel and it did great. I used those humidity bags in a couple of places and liberally distributed the dryer sheets as usual. Smelled great when we opened it and no mice or bugs or even dust. Had to put the batteries back into all the misc lights, etc. they were all stored in the basement. First camping trip for two nights is this Wednesday. Rain predicted Wednesday through Friday. You can’t tell Mother Nature what to do!
