Yay, Ed!!  The best reply yet. Guerilla warfare to combat a biological pest. Good thinking. Keep a clean camp, deny the encroachers food (and water if possible) and they will leave you alone. And using recycled materials. 

Just in case you didn't see it Carl:
"I also never leave/store food in the van. I put everything into 2 plastic food
containers and they have sealed tops on them, so the van cabinets have
no food odor from it being stored there."

These slide under the outer lip of the bottom bed overhang when the rear bench
is turned into a bed, so stow out of the way at night. I've divided the inside of each
"tub" into 2 to 3 compartments so food items can be separated. One I use for anything
in cans or hard containers, the other for soft food/fruit/chips, etc. Especially Oreo's.
