Side storage bars and in the garage works well. However we just got our TT out after winter storage and found a bedroom pod destroyed by a mouse who decided to winter in our tent.

I don't know if anybody knows of any way to prevent this happening again??

Hi,

We store our TT outside in the garden but remove all the canvas, inner bedroom tents & matresses (they go in the loft). It only takes about 30 mins to set it all back up again & everything is dry & mouse free!

I rent a council garage too - has the added advantage that you are not advertising an empty house when you hitch up and drive away as nobody seeing you leave the garage knows where you live!

Get a cat? When we still had our two lethal little hunters no mouse would have dared set so much as a whisker round our back garden. The cats used to sit under the TT when it rained and if it was open for any reason they liked to have a snoop around inside, so it probably smelled of cat too. (They didn't spray, they just lay around on the cushions.)

Now they've gone to the great hunting ground in the sky and the next cat will be a house cat (busy main road outside, hence ex-cats) so we'll have to think again. Maybe we'll put a used blanket inside, just to keep the faint cat presence topped up.
