I parked my RV after gas hit $3.25 (now it's $4.25 here).
Now that it does not move much I have been getting mice inside (nasty)! I've looked for cracks or holes and filled them with that expanding foam sealant. No Luck.
Anyone got ideas. I tried dryer sheets but after a while, the smell goes away and the mice will just use it as bedding.
Every chance I get I try to send people to this site below. If gas prices are hurting your RV dreams there is something all of us can do. Go here and tell a friend too.

Try putting mothballs outside of rig and put some fabric softner sheets on the inside.(Cabinets,corners and tight quarters. We did it over the off season and not one critter. Plus your RV will smell fresh! Good Luck!!

It is hard to believe but we found that using bay leaves spread throughout the coach was effective. We did not use decon because of the smell when they died. Sticky traps catch them but do not deter them

I have also had good luck with Decon poison. I never have smelled a dead mouse inside. I assume that, as advertised, most of them find their way outside, looking for water.

Decon plus peppermint oil on cotton balls in drawers etc. This was my first mouse free winter. Not a sign and we live in the woods.

Removing absolutely all food sources will dramatically reduce the mouse population. This means putting all potential food sources in plastic containers and doing the same for the trash. Cereal, rice, dog food, etc are all fair game.
Next consider this:
Rat Zapper
It really works incredibly well.
