    Bugs

    Going to Alaska next summer. I'm wondering if anybody knows how to seal up or put screens in all the holes to keep the bugs out?

    BUGS!!

    We were just coming back from a short trip to the Tetons when we hit a real Bug Storm! Anybody got a secret weapon for cleaning caked on bug-schmuk from the front of the truck and the TT? Other than that had a really nice trip

    Bugs bugging the Dog (and me)!

    We are new to camping with our dog and she seems to love being outdoors with us all day but the bugs really love her! I'm not sure how much she is really bothered I think it probably bothers me more but I feel bad when they are swarming her face and butt. Any tips to help this problem?

    Bugs on the front cap...

    Just thought I would in with the group to see what people use to help keep bugs off the front cap while traveling? Just in my travel I've heard things like, before heading out spray the front cap down with WD40 or Pan cooking spray! Thoughts? Thanks ahead for your replies! LJ

    BUGS!

    I was using my fantastic fan on hi with the furthest bunk window unzipped and then noticed an abundant amount of small flying bugs. Not knats, but possibly baby mosquitoes. Anyone have anything like that happen? I know there are nooks and crannies all around the camper so I'm guessing that...

    Refrigerator vent and bugs / Mud daubers

    We have Mud Daubers where we live and keep our trailer. I have already put the screen protector on the heater outlet and installed screen on the vent pipes for the 2 water tanks. Looking around at other areas I see what looks like a very inviting spot for Daubers and any other bugs to come in...

    Kinro awning window screens let the bugs in....Silverback 33RL

    We own a 2014 Silverback 33RL which we love! One little problem we are having is with the screens on the "crank out" storm or awning style windows by Kinro. The screens do not sit flush on each end against the window frames which leaves a gap large enough for mo-skeetos and flying red ants to...

    Bugs getting in

    We recently bought a new 2014 Sandpiper 35ROK fifth wheel. We love everything about it except for one thing. We have only got to camp in it one time since we bought it. We live in southern Ohio and this time of year we have a serious problem with stink bugs and lady beetles. Our camper has...

    I have a new 2014 Rockwood and I was trying to use the Black tank rinser and water was pouring into the camper. After investigating, I removed the back flow preventer and guess what, it was filled with stink bugs. Not just one or two, but 10 of those little buggers. They were preventing the...

    Removing bugs from the front of your TT

    Everyone here probably has already heard of this tip, but I thought I'd share for newbie campers like us. So... we brought our new Shamrock hybrid home from it's maiden voyage. While cleaning it up, we moved to the outside where we began giving it a good washing. Came to the challenge of...

    While stored, the fresh water tank inhaled a lot of insects. I have removed and flushed the fresh water tank but the outlet to the pump/filter has a built-in screen inside the tank that is black with insect remains. I have flushed with water from the outside but the remains remain. I have...
