look at the base of the steering column, black rubber boot, if not
fitted securely its a big enough mouse ingress/egress point :)

Hello all,
I'm camping and regularly get mice entering the van.  Can anyone suggest
likely points of entry and how to seal/block them?  Or other methods to
prevent their entry?  They seam to be entering in the front of the
van.  I
sealed the vent tube from the battery (I only have one battery and
its on
the passenger side) but that did not slow them at all.  Probably a
dangerous
vent to seal also.  I did not notice any other entry po

I'm at Rocky Mountain NP

The entrance ranger said there was a group of vanagons that cruised thru
last week.  I think the campgrounds were full so they probably had to
cruise
on thru.

One guy in the campground had a school bus with the top half of a
vanagon
attached on top.
