Jeff, Try copper wool. The mice can eat through the steel wool, but for some reason can't get through the copper. Mice rig, btw.....;)

Hi Linda, The sportsmobile appear to be a little smaller than what I have in mind. Practically, a 24 foot B+ would be the minimum length, I think. That size allows me to get all the things in it that I want, while my wife would prefer the 27-30 foot sizes to get the separate queen sized bed (I can live with a good fold out couch). Not much longer than that, as the ability to get into some areas would be restricted.

Greetings! Kevin and Terri (Me and my wife) are planning on full timing in another 4-5 years, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible now to avoid as many mistakes as I can when we hit the road. As of now, zero experience in RVs between us. I'm the type that, while I appreciate the rainbow and unicorn aspects of living in an RV, want to know about all the problems that I'll face when I finally own one. And boy, do there seem to be plenty of problems, lol. We've gone from TT, to 5th wheels, to Class C's and now down to B+ motorhomes. That style seems to have the best bang for the buck as far as being able to get into out of the way places (first few years we intend to boondock quite a bit)_while still providing all the creature comforts we'll want to have on the road. However, as much as I've looked, I've yet to find the perfect floor plan. Which brings me (finally) to my question. Have any of the members here bought a used RV and had it reconditioned? By that I mean interior changes, roof repair (leak prevention), 4WD conversion etc? Pricing on reconditioning a used unit with low miles would appear to be the same as buying a new unit, with the added benefit of having the floorplan and interior bits done to my specification. I'm sure it's not as straight forward a proposition as I envision it, so anyone's personal experience who would be willing to share that would be appreciated.
