In North America the term recreational vehicle and its acronym, RV, are generally used to refer to a vehicle equipped with living space and amenities found in a home. A recreational vehicle normally includes a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a living room. In other countries the terms caravan or camper van are more common, and the vehicles themselves vary, typically being smaller than in North America.

RVs are intended for everything from brief leisure activities such as vacations and camping, to full-time living, for which they are often parked in special trailer parks. (However, many trailer parks are reserved just for mobile homes, not to be confused with RVs and motorhomes.) RVs can also be rented in most major cities and tourist areas.

how do i get ants out of my popup camper?

ants have been living in a little popup camper i bought for years and i cant kill them all. There is always another crook or cranny they seem to hide in.

You’ll definitely want to use a poison that the ants will cary back to their nest, so that it will kill them all. What type of poison you’ll want to use will depend on what type of ants they are, but since they’re in your camper, I would have to assume that they are sugar ants, and two really good products for this are, Terro Ant Killer, and Grant’s Ant Killer.

Both brands seem to generally work about the same, the ants take the posion back to their nests, and it kills the entire colony. However, it seems as though the ants some times end up catching on, and will get to a point to where they will stop eating the poison. At this point you can switch to the alternate brand, as the two types are slightly different chemically. However, if you do it right the first time, you should be able to kill all the ants long before they stop eating whichever poison you choose.

This next part is extremely important, and where a lot of people screw up. Numerous ants will leave their nests, and go about searching for a food supply, and when they find a source, they leave a pheromone trail so that the other ants of their colony can find the food source as well. Now inevitably, some of these ants will leave your camper and go outside from time to time, and this pheromone will make it’s way out there as well, so even if you kill off all of the ants in your camper, it’s possible, and in many cases probable, that ants from outside your camper will eventually come across the pheromone trail that was left behind by the ants that you killed, thus attracting more ants into your camper, where eventually they may build a new nest. To prevent this from happening, even after the ants in your camper have all been killed, even after you quit seeing them, keep putting the poision out for a couple of weeks. This way if any new ants to happen to come along, they will find the poison you left, and take it back to their nests and kill all of their colony as well.

To prevent ants from entering your camper in the future, when you store it, you can put a ring of some sort of high strength insect killer around each point of ground contact of the camper. So if it’s a trailer on two wheels, put a ring around each wheel, and repeat as often as the poison manufacturer recomends to keep the border toxic to the ants. Likewise, if it’s an actual camper, and set up on stilts, or whatever they call them? You’ll want to put a poision ring around each one of those.

Is it legal to buy a pop-up camper or an RV and live in it until you finish building a house?

In case it effects the answer, I do have one child.
Also, what is the difference between a mobile home and an rv/camper

I know lots of people that have done this. But I must say they live in the country or outside of city limits, so I don’t know if that makes any difference.

A mobile home is a trailer that is actually set up as a home, around here people live in them. It’s a house.
A rv/camper is what you see people vacationing in, RV is one that you drive, while camper is usually talking about the campers that people pull behind their own trucks. Most people that have lived in it waiting on their house to be done live in a camper.

There any law on living in a camper on someones private property?

My husband and I are going through a hard time finacially. So we were talking about getting a trailer and living on his parents property behind there house till we can can pay off our debt and get back on our feet. But I have no clue if there is any laws against it. Its in the State of Michigan. This is the only thing we could think of doing since we cant move in with any of our parents for none have the room but one has the property. I could really use some good input. Thanks

yes, there is a law in many places that prohibit more than one residence per lot, also, you need to consider the health issues, fresh water, holding tank, grey water and black water disposal..
