I'm very lucky that the storage yard where I keep ours is only about 5 blocks from a local chain hardware store "Parkrose Hardware" they have the most complete bin setup that I've ever seen! Not like a big box where you have to know what you're looking for either, they have folks that actually know what the stuff in their store is, where it is and what it's for! No, don't own any Parkrose Hardware stock  (not sure they're even public lol) They were especially helpful when I threw out a bunch of leftover drain pipe when I installed the dishwasher, unfortunately, I threw out a bunch of stuff I still needed! (P-traps) when I put it all back together.
Last year I also did the TPMS, however the control unit got stolen out of my toad in a "secure" parking garage where I live. I wrote Minder Industries to see if I could just buy the control unit only but have not heard back...

A new Safe-T-steer plus along with snap pads for the levelers were delivered today!
Hope it cools off at some point this weekend so installation will not be to demanding on my holiday chill.

You might want to add a can of spray foam to your list. There's a crack or hole they are getting in thru. It only takes 1/4”. For me it was old foam that had given up around the drains used for winterizing. I resealed it with spray foam.
I also had them get in around a garden hose I attached to the dump valve. I fixed that will some metal dish scrubbers from the dollar store. The garden hose runs thru the middle and the scrubber blocks the rest of the hole.
Last winter pack rats got into my engine and did $1,200 damage. There are now rat traps and glue boards sitting on every flat surface unde the hood. I also use bait stations where I park for the summer and winter months.

Not to do with RV's in particular... but do having to to with mice and rats...
Our family's very rural houses are situated near a year round creek. Varmints abound!
We have traps everywhere. I am known in family as the Great Hunter! Average ten to twenty [some years even more] rats per year. Sometimes varmints come in droves. Three months ago - during a three week period, in or around just our house, I trapped over 16 mice. That deluge then stopped and for last couple months... none were around. For our matriarch's house [Ruth at 95 yrs old - living two miles away from us] "big" rats are the main problem.
For cars, trucks and RV:
Hanging moth balls in a sealed plastic package near the engine keeps varmints away from vehicle engine compartments. Just a pin hole or two in sealed plastic container is all that's needed to release enough repellent odor - due to the toxic nature and rapid decomposition/evaporation when exposed to any airflow.
Be careful the odor is let loose in minimal amounts and that mothball effects remain inside engine compartment... not where you live or generally sit, sleep or stand around.
