Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

How do you keep birds from nesting in the metal piece on your fifth wheel that attaches to the truck hitch when your rig is in storage or stationary for a while?  Also what is that metal piece called?

Are you talking about the pin box? Kev stuffs it with something so there isn't any room for them to nest anytime we're parked anywhere for more than a few days.

RVKevi is right on. Birds are a pain but bees are worse. Once they have found a spot (bees or birds) its tough to keep them out. We've had good success with wrapping the pin box with poly and taping it to the bottom of the overhang so there is no place to enter.
