This is my experience with my '87 Syncro Westy. I hear them
up under the dash, then they dash all around. I catch them with
a trap and throw the little devil's bodies out. In the morning they
are gone, but there are coyote tracks....

I don't think they are coming in the sink drain, the propane lines,
the battery vents. They are coming in somewhere up front. They never
come in when I am parked at home, so I haven't got under the front
with the spare dropped. They only come in in remote, beautiful places
where I don't want to do anything but watch the sunrise or sunset
or enjoy the place or the people or the wild horses.....

In twenty years of camping in my '81, never a mouse. No radiator,
either. They come in somewhere under the front of the waterboxers.
[Bob Stevens will agree 100% on this with me. We are even
developing recipe together. We'll put it on Larry Chase's site.

BTW--egress is great. Egress is when I flip the trap out the
door to release the body.... It is ingress that I want to limit.
