We are stationary for a few months and birds are making nests in the tongue Of the 5th wheel! Any ideas on how to keep them out?

Put a cat in the pin box......LOL
Stuff it with a piece of cardboard to block the opening. Or form a piece of wire mesh to fit in the opening that can be removed when hitching up.
Or mount a wireless camera and watch the little birdies go from eggs to hatchlings.

Wire mesh is a good idea. If it doesn't work, will try the cat! :)

When I had that problem, I fashioned a piece of cardboard that enclosed the opening of the pin box. It worked. The bigger problem was pigeons trying to nest between the slide roof and the slide topper. Once they go in there, nothing will keep them out. After that incident (I had to move the trailer to another park to get rid of the pigeons) I was told to keep moth balls up there so pigeons would not try to nest there. I have done that....don't know if it works but no more pigeons.

Tried moth balls with cats one time when they decided my flower box under LR window in S&B was a litter box. Sadly, didn't work Thankfully haven't seen pigeons here!

Yeah. I know. The neighbors probably don't like loud noises either.

Lets hope some other neighbors don't end up with a a hard rain, i.e., the shot coming down and hitting something. Firecrackers would be better.

The rubber snakes do work. We have a problem with pea****s sitting on the cars. Put rubber snakes out and they will not go near them.

I put strips of sheet metal on the openings. Painted it with Rubber undercoating looks and works great.
