How rodent proof are 2021 310 Solitudes?
I am curious about how rodent proof new Solitudes are?
In my motor home I had to be very vigilant because of how easy it was for them to access the motor compartment.
Thanks

Same as any RV. I use Mouse Free and Moen's Mouse Mix. Both use peppermint oil extract to keep the critters away. You need an air compressor to spray the Mouse Free, and coat the undercarriage, and the Moen's Mouse Mix you put into the include baggies and set them out in "strategic" spots, like the basement and around the tires and landing gear. Mice and rats don't like the peppermint oil because it interfere with their sense of smell so they can't smell a predator approaching.
It's been a good investment for preventative maintenance for me

I don't think anything is rodent proof. Put up some defense to convince them to move on elsewhere and traps if ever they make it in.

Thanks so much for the replies.
I was able to order from Amazon a large container of the peppermint oil spray with sprayer for $35.
At duck camps we had very good results putting moth balls in socks and attaching them under the seats/on top of ATV motors, and overnight on the top of pick up truck motors. I did not want to use moth balls on my fifth wheel if the fumes would enter the cabin

FWIW, be careful with poison. Learned this the hard way at an old house that had a partially-sealed crawlspace.
Dead things in sealed ares stink.

Learned of another product today that many people swear by.
It is called Fresh Cab.
Balsam sent and other sent that deter rodents, they don’t like to go any near the smell.
Guy said it smells like Christmas trees.
Put in basement of RV and no mice.
4.00 per bag on Amazon
I’m going to,give it a go.
Just another tool in the toolbox

I had a mouse prob with my 310, crawled underneath the trailer with cans of expanding foam & a roll of copper mesh & had at it. Snap traps, & sticky traps in the basement for good measure. We don't keep anything edible in the trailer while its idle.
Seems to have helped...haven't had any rodent sign for a couple of years.Paul, Sue & Wonder Dog Zane
