    You can reuse the hay bales for garden beds in the spring!

    That mold can migrate into your camper.
    The straw needs to be up off the ground too.

      We leave them all year round. Not worth the hassle of removing and replacing each year.

      Straw is ACTUALLY an insulator and doesn’t invite mice as there are seeds, food in hay.
      Better have cats living under your rv

      ​@gregmoessner3104 you cab also put a string of lights under your RV. They don't have to be hot. The rodents don't like the light. So, just a string of solar lights should do the trick. :)

      @@donaldcouch3832 it's pretty ridiculous that I even have to explain this further. Dried hay underneath the RV is not only a fire hazard but also poses a explosion hazard if there is a LP leak under the coach. Obviously heat rises and think about a large Ring of fire underneath and around the camper. The RV itself is already somewhat flammable so adding more flammable article is nonsense.

      @@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 ​ How do you think hay is stored? It's typically stored in wooden barns and sheds. Are they not flammable? Hay does not spontaneously combust, lol. If you're concerned, use greener hay. I would not be concerned in the least. The RV itself (made of very light and dry wood) is much more flammable than the hay.
