You will find out very fast that the foam flies in a lot of places you don’t want it on, mainly you. I have used it more than once and will say my experience has been very much a comic opera as I seem to get it in my hair, face, ears, and mostly on my cloths. It does not wash out either. Use as much face protection as you can and old disposable clothing. It can do a marvelous job of sealing holes. Give consideration to low expanding and high expanding types as some areas may be better served by one or the other.
Good luck in your work.
Some of the biggest holes for critters are the slide-out mechanism thru the frame rails and those holes can't be sealed. Other holes are thru the pin holes of the landing gear legs and up into the basement.

I was checking out the brakes and noticed that the spring hangers on the equalizer between the axles are almost worn out. Both hangers on only one side wearing. The top bolt holes are almost worn through. Getting that fixed tomorrow. Hate to think about the end result if one had failed.

Rather than steel wool, get the copper type scubbing pads that look like balled up wire mesh. Steel wool will rust. Push the mesh into the holes and then spray your expanding foam into the mesh. It will mix with the wire mesh and the copper wont rust like steel wool.....

They really took a liking to the fiberglass insulation in the walls of my old camper, pulling it out of the walls and carrying it to their nests behind the appliances and tanks.
