As a side note, if you have those big black ants and they seem to be there all the time; at home and at any campgrounds; no matter how much you spread anything around the RV. Then it's time to do some REAL investigating. They are carpenter ants and they nest in wet wood. A leak can lead to them starting up a home in the wood in your RV.
We had one poor soul that finally found just a cracked caulking section that allowed moisture down into some wall studs and when we finally pulled the wall apart the studs were just shells.


The ones I have here where I am parked are huge black ones and they bite! Feels like a wasp sting bite. I've never seen ants like this before. The poor dog even had one hanging off her lip, he latched on and wouldn't let go. Do carpenter ants bite?

so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
