Can I spray water in all the compartments and under carriage, especially behind the sewage hook up? Will I have electrical problems if I do?

Why would you want to spray water in your compartments? How is it going to get out? Electrical problems would depend on whether or not the electrical connections are exposed to the water.

I can't speak to other compartments, but the very few coaches that I have seen have drainage plugs in the sewage compartment. When cleaning the compartment, I've opened the plugs and sprayed away from any controls. My own Thor gasser has a hard plastic lined compartment, the typical stinky slinky screw plug at one end and a small screw plug at the other end. Never had any problems keeping it clean with spray water. Again, I don't know about the other compartments.

Our compartment by the sewage controls has a plug in it, so hubby sprayed it clean and let it dry and replaced the plug. You could always use a shop vac to clean it out.

How about trying a yard blower and blower out the droppings?

For mice:

Go to Tractor & Trailer and buy "Tom Cat" mice destroyers. They are the very best thing since sliced bread! They do work.

I routinely wash out the compartment that contains my sewage connections. There's a drain plug in there, and I assume it's for that reason. I've never had a problem in the nearly 9 years I've owned the coach.
