Well the wife got home and I was able to access the damage. The rodent chewed threw the ABS wire leading to the brakes. It’s a multi strand wire so it looks like Ford will have to fix it.
I have tried most every deterrent. I have pictures of mice chewing on an Irish Spring soap bar. I normally keep a bunch of cotton pads soaked in peppermint oil scattered around the engine compartment. We got back from a trip the first of July and I knew the wife was taking it the 17th so I didn’t do the pads.
If manufacturers are using soy based wiring sheathing. ( they deny it’s causing a problem) Why isn’t there a wrap we can use that rodents hate?
Our first motorhome was a 1986 American. I parked it next to our pole barn, much more sheltered than our present spot and I never had a problem. I may have to consider a storage lot.
