Take the grill off and screen or tape the fresh air vents at the top of that
area. I always see their foot prints near the front tires. I think they
climb onto the van from there and make their way up to the radiator area
from there. I started taking charcoal lighter fluid with me and when I get
to a camping spot that is suspect I pour it around the wheels. Nice
deterrent. It always takes them a good 24 hours to decide I'm a target and I
surmised that had to do with the hot radiator area so another method while
camping is turning on the engine 3-4 times a day, especially at night before
bedtime when they wake up.
Look in the archives for much more info posted in late summer, early fall.
