I have a Montana 2955 5er and have a problem with a racoon when I put my cover on the trailer in the storage lot. It crawls up the back ladder under the cover to the roof, makes a mess and rips up my rubber roof. I have tried tack strips, plywood covering on my ladder, moth ball and it still crawls on top of my trailer. My storage yard is not providing any help. I have thought about trying to electrify just the ladder. Has anyone tried that and would it be a fire hazard with my cover? I have also thought about trying to live trap it but know they are such wary creatures it might be hard. Would like any suggestions or comments.
