 Can anyone tell me where I can buy storage or vacuum bags big enough for my uphostery.

Approx sizes 1.8m. x 0.600mm. for 4 seats and 1.8m. x 0.300mm. x 4 for seat backs.

The mice got into ,van during storage and at\e my awning,we just bought it last year and only used it once.that is why I think if I stored it in Vac bags I could bring them in house where I would then manage the the room for them.

Any ideas would be a great help.

Dont know if you can get vacuum bags that big. We use heavy duty mattress bags to store our upholstery. Just check on e bay or amazon using mattress storage bag in search.

Mice will eat through most material's so storage or vacuum bags will offer no protection unfortunately.

your tackling this problem the wrong way around! make sure that the caravan underneath has steel mesh over all access points that a mouse could enter, then get some jeyes fluid and using a watering can soak the whole area under the van including the wheels and steadies and jockey wheel, first of all they cant stand the smell but more importantly they follow there urine scent and putting jeyes down will get rid of this, believe me, we had the same problem and did exactly as described and have had no further problems since

I would find where the mice got in and seal it off. There must be a hole somewhere. Look for a trail of droppings.
Use metal mesh to seal the hole if it is a vent.

You could also put bait down to kill them.

Wire Wool to fill any holes springs to mind.
